The Moonlight God

The Moonlight God is a name given to a strange being, whose true name has never been discovered.

On the tenth day of each year, for reasons unknown, a place called the Moonlight City appears on Verail, each time in a different place, though never in a populated region. The "city" can only be seen by those touched with the Moonlight God's power, or with the effects of a True Seeing spell.

Those who wander into the Moonlight City sometimes reappear later that day, or they may wander out in a later appearance of the city, sometimes even hundreds of years later. Regardless of their reappearance, they never age, and most do not remember the experience at all. A few have claimed to remember everything, and not be allowed to speak of their experiences, but their claims have never been confirmed.

Most who return from the Moonlight City find themselves with strange powers, often comparable to divine magic. Most of these "priests" of the Moonlight God seem distant, almost like a part of their brain remains in the Moonlight City still. Perhaps, it is theorized, a part of their soul was left behind, and that is why they can see the city when others cannot.

The exact nature of the Moonlight God has yet to be determined. It is theorized to possibly be connected to the Black Moon, Zota, and some claim that Zota is the Moonlight God. Others suggest it may be something else entirely, a spirit from beyond the stars, perhaps, an entity that long predates Verail.
