Mooncry
The Kingdom of Mooncry
The Kingdom of Mooncry was formed in the aftermath of a great war between humans and vampires. It became an autonomous kingdom and its people settled in the grey canyons of a barren and forgotten piece of land formerly known as Avalia.Campaigning in Mooncry
Mooncry is a land filled with canyons, cliffs, and tall mountains. Most of its cities are built along the shore and the banks of rivers but there is a huge portion of Avalian land that is filled with mountains. Dwelling in the obscure lands of Mooncry is dangerous, as there are many unknown dangers there from the dark history of the kingdom.The People of Mooncry
The majority of the people that live in Mooncry are Serenians. They are a particular tribe that carries with them the trauma of their painful past. They are discreet and fearful and keep a low profile, and they hardly mingle with other tribes or even travel to other regions of the world. They keep to themselves and study necromancy, music, and healing.Inner & Outer Conflicts
Mooncry is a kingdom hardly affected by outer threats anymore. After years of war during the Second Age, the Avalians (people of Mooncry) fortified their kingdom and sealed alliances to ensure their safety. However, not everyone empathizes with their struggles, and many people still persecute Avalians due to superstition, as they connect them with their former captors, the vampires.The Dangers of Mooncry
Avalian land is filled with magic. Remnants of vampire raids from the past and the many events that took place in the Avalian Mountains, including ceremonies, magic practices, curses, and genocide, have left their stigma on the land. Travelers must be aware of foul energy, hidden terrors, and vampires as they dwell in these forgotten lands.Avalian Customs
