Moon Hold

Moon Hold is a shimmering capital built from moon-glass and silver, centered around a palace of mirrors. It serves as the mystical crossroads of the Lunassara region, where magic and reality blur. The city features floating residential islands and lush bioluminescent gardens. Every corner of the town is protected by ancient wards and the watchful eye of the Unseelie Queen.

History

Founded during the Great Shattering, Moon Hold rose when Ceredwen struck the earth with a shard of the celestial moon. This event created the Cathedral of Shattered Mirrors and anchored the city between planes. Since then, it has evolved into a sovereign capital and a neutral ground for the competing fey courts. Its history is one of constant transformation and arcane advancement.
