[b]Takes place Turn 4[/b]

In a time long, [i]long[/i] forgotten by all but a small handful of entities that endured, in the former Celestial Palace in which the current incarnation of the world rotated, the deities of a former cycle were born under the gaze of the Imprisoned Monarch who claimed to be ruler of all.  

The Palace itself had seemingly been abandoned. The last of the Monarch's children to maintain a presence there before calling forth other deities to the world below once again, Anath Homura, had descended to the world with her own goals in mind. A domain that had been locked up and left vacant. 

Of course, it would surprise all owners of the Celestial Palace in its history that there was a metaphorical broken window. There always had been. 

In a long forgotten part of the overgrown and dead Palace gardens, a circle of mushrooms and flowers sat undisturbed by the death and neglect around them. They fact that they seemed untouched and perfectly alive and well while everything else around it seemed to have slowly died and rotted over time merely added to the feyness of it. This place was once the ground on which one of the first of the Monarch's children, Aethel, had come into being in ages long past.

And with a subtle gust of wind, stood there again. 

The rest of the old fey ring circle network was no more; One of many sacrifices that needed to be taken in order to survive the fall of the old order but they had never cut this one off. Ever since the Monarch had insulted Aethel and some of his siblings during those early moments of their cycle they had known that at some point, there would be an uprising. Numbers of his kin would turn on their father in name alone and the Monarch, once the rebellion reached the point where he couldn't defeat it in the open, would withdraw and seal himself up in his palace behind all of his defenses. At which point Aethel had planned to gather up his rebelling kin and take them through their teleportation network of fey circles to reach the origin circle within the Palace itself, bypassing most of the Monarch's defenses. 

Of course, history took a turn when the Monarch was overthrown without the need for major conflict and the circle never needed to be activated, so Aethel had simply left it be. Until now. Now, at long last, they had answered their sister's call and returned home.

For a time the equine deity trotted through the ruins of the past so that they might take a seat and observe the new world that had risen in the wake of the old one. It was an interesting development to be sure... through it seemed smaller in scale then it had been under the Monarch's reign. Also the singular moon in the sky appeared to be on fire, which was a completely new development to be sure. In silence they sat there, staring and thinking...

Then without warning of word turned and started violently ripping out chunks of the palace's walls and gardens. 

At first this just appeared to be random chaotic destruction, but as more and more material was added to the pile it quickly became clear that Aethel was... making something. Compressing the dirt, dead plants, the stones and other godly materials of Celestial Palace from back in its prime into a massive sphere. There was even some of the original Mana that they had personally weaved into the palace back at the beginning. The discovery of some lingering traces of their former aspect caused them to pause for what seemed like a lifetime of nostalgic remembrance. That part of their being was gone, but the knowledge that some of it would still be infused with their new home brought a warm feeling to their torso. 

In time, their work became so big that they needed to move it out of the space that the Palace occupied, continuing the construction in the space between the Palace and the planet below that was once used by the front gate to bend space and time and bridge the connection between the two before the portal system was developed. So it was that with care and abusing systems created long ago and long abandoned that were never intended to be used for such a purpose that the world would suddenly have a second moon in its orbit; A silvery orb that offered a bright, beautiful light that would contest the dark red glow of its counterpart. 

Of course, Aethel couldn't pass up the chance to let the two compliment each other. They had taken the time to make sure that as the two moons orbited the planet below, one would wax while the other would wane. Red and silver light would shine on different parts of the world at a given time, contesting with each other at the point when they met in the middle in what could only be described as art carefully cultivated with light and celestial spheres. It would inspire stories, dreams, artists mythologies itself for generations to come!

Of course, this was only step one. As Aethel gazed upon the surface of their new domain, it was void of anywhere comfortable for them to rest and call home. Beautiful to gaze at from afar and the view itself was rather breathtaking as well (a pun considering the lack of air. That would need to be fixed in time as well) but rather devoid of anything to do once one was actually on the surface. With a small trot, Aethel started to search for the future site of their efforts. 


[hider=Summary]
Aethel has returned after an extended period... somewhere else. Appearing in the fey circle in which they were originally created (and revealing some of the secrets and plans they had for Divinus VI), they take the time to wonder the now abandoned Celestial Palace and observe the new world... before tearing out a number of parts of the Celestial Palace in order to create a second, silver moon for the planet below while taking advantage of the Palace's old methods of connecting itself to the planet to basically have the new moon appear out of practically nowhere. SURPRISE MORTALS!

Having set up the orbit of this new moon to be complimentary to the old, on fire hellish red one so that they wax and wane opposite each other for artistic reasons, Aethel begins the process of walking along the surface of their creation to find a location to make a home base.

[hider= Creation: The Dreamers Moon]
The Dreamers Moon is, as the name suggests, a moon of Galbar. It casts a silvery light upon the world and it's orbit is complimentary to the orbit of the 'Red Moon' in that as one waxes, the other wanes. At around the halfway point for both, the pair share the sky and their light mixes in an artistically beautiful and breathtaking display of light art. 

The light of the Dreamers Moon has abnormal proprieties granted to it by Aethel, all of which are designed to aid those attempting to sleep under its light have a peaceful night sleep. This effects range from putting those who encounter it into a more peaceful, calm state of being to outright easing the biological functions of the mortal body; These can range from needing less food and water to be satisfied and not needing to get up at night to go to the bathroom to outright easing pain and suffering. 

This has an interesting effect on the cursed 'Werebeasts' of the world, in that it makes them sleepy and desire to just find a nice place to curl up and sleep for the few days that the Dreamers Moon is at its full glory. 

All of this has given the Dreamers Moon a positive reputation, but it also makes the 'Red Moon' be viewed as an ill omen despite there being no actual curse or influence from Aethel to make that happen. Sleep is more restless and harder to come by under the red light and all the benefits of the Dreamers Moon fade as the 'Red Moon' raises in the heavens. This also means that Werebeasts are more active during the 'Red Moon'.

The Dreamers Moon is also one of the only sources of Aethel's former Mana aspect that exists in the modern area due to being constructed by pieces of the Monarch's Celestial Palace.
