Among the Lunar Elves Pt. 1

-

The Moon is back as a major topic in the Twilight Age. The adventurers based out of the Drinking Crow have been running down tasks for a group of elves camped out on Level 3 of 'The Complex'. First the returned some magic items which earned them a slot in accompanying the Lunar Elf chosen Ruaiat and Aerual on their quest to the Black Pyramid when it manifests. Now they have just finished a seven session side quest undertaking a trial from the elves' Dream Tree (the spiritual guiding hand of their elfin collectivist society) in order to earn the honor of visiting the Moon.

The last time the Moon a subject of excitement among the Twilight Age players, I was working on an in-campaign zine I never finished. Here is a page I wrote about the Moon:

 

I used the term 'moon elf' in that excerpt but I didn't mean someone like this:


I mean beings like this blue-skinned void ship crew that I know regularly refer to as 'Lunar Elves':


I imagine their lunar home, which is sometimes called 'Lonar', looks a bit like this:

Downtime Activity- Find the Right Buyer

  Dungeons are packed with treasure. After all, isn't that why adventurers decide to plumb their depths? While treasure finds of items that spend easily like coins of precious metals, gems, and jewelry often make up the winnings of successful adventuring expeditions; they are not the only items of value a party will haul back to the surface world.  Eager to make the most out of a group's expeditions, they often grab anything that looks like one could turn over for a quick coin or two. To turn such items into gold, though, adventurers have to locate an interested party to sell these art objects, non-magical tomes, trade goods, and other valuable dungeon oddities. Below is a new downtime system for locating buyers for dungeon treasures not inherently valuable like coins or gems or easily pawned off due to being made of inherently high-value items (like jewelry, items made of precious metals, etc.). The activity is based on some of the other downtime systems designed by Ben L. w...

Adventuring in the Twilight Age

Welcome to the Twilight Age Ever since the Empire-That-Was receded, no human endeavor under the fading red sun has reached its heights. Some say humankind no longer possesses the know-how to reach such grandeur. Others claim that confronting daily a sun that could fail them at any moment has filled folks with a spirit of defeat. Regardless of the reasons, it is in the face of such apocalyptic ennui that we find the peoples of Ur-Dun. Just south of the fallen Imperial capital city, this series of towns have become petty city-states just as embroiled in squabbles as they are in desperate dependencies fundamental to their survival. These human-led settlements are not the only civilized peoples in Ur-Dun. The mortal regents possess delicate treaties with distant Elfin Courts. The Gloaming Hills below the Slumbering Mountains are populate with small pastoral settlements of the hill dwarf (re: gnome) descendants of the folk that built the Imperial-era structures that litter the r...
