Moonkin

Moonkin were unknown to Panthes until very recently. Gindletrix, the previous Goblin King, invented a great canon which he used to blow up one of the two moons that graced the night sky.  As the Moonkin plummeted to what they thought would be their death, Vellon interceded and used his powers to allow the Moonkin a soft landing onto Panthes.

 

During the following months, the Moonkin were sought after by the Goblins for their natural powers to purify themselves. Many were slaughtered in experiments conducted under Gindletrix’s reign. Eventually, the war ended and the Goblins made peace with the Moonkin, but not without many casualties.

 

The Moonkin are Chastity and Lumen’s children. Lumen loved Chastity so greatly that his love twisted into a sickness. He took her purity and her powers and left her broken.  She devoted her life to protecting and loving her children, even though they were a constant reminder of the horrors Lumen inflicted upon her.

 

Physical Description

Moonkin are celestial creatures with the colors of the stars and heavens incorporated into their physical features. They are normally pale, with gold or silver surrounding their eyes, and hair that ranges from pink and purple to gold and silver. Other than that, their builds are as varied as a human’s.

 

Culture

Moonkin are a kind and patient race. At first, they were unused to the people and environment of Panthes, gaining them a reputation of being gullible. That has all changed, however, as they have adapted to their new home and have even began improving it.

              

The majority of Moonkin reside in Wissen.  They flocked there after the destruction of their moon due to the reputation it gained of being a good and pure city.  Many have become incredible healers as they have a natural ability to purge themselves as well as others of impurities.

              

When the Moonkin fell to Panthes, they also brought new wildlife with them. Bug creatures, called Marin, began adapting to the new environment. Many Moonkin see Marin as Humans see cows, a source of food and other essentials. There are also the lesser known Kilgon, who have mostly been eradicated by the predators of Panthes. Shambling mounds of vines have been seen throughout Panthes as well, with a special flower blooming at the top of it. The flower is said to have incredible purifying capabilities if its essence is harnessed by a skilled alchemist. Finally, there are the Maekogs. They are monstrous creatures who spread destruction where they go. These carnivorous beasts were the worst horror that the Moonkin faced before they fell to Panthes.

              

Before the fall, Moonkin governed themselves, with an exception being when Chastity was around. She frequently stayed with the Moonkin, telling them “folk tales” of a place called Panthes. She loved each and every Moonkin individually and often had a direct hand in their upbringing.

              

When she wasn’t around, however, the Moonkin looked to the Guardians as their leaders. The Guardians are select Moonkin who showed not only great martial prowess but also a keen mind and fair judgment.  The civilization did not have one singular ruler, as every Moonkin acted in the best interest of not only themselves but the entire race.

              

One final thing sets the Moonkin apart from the rest of the races of Panthes. Before the destruction of their moon, the Moonkin had no concept of death from old age. Once they were born from Chastity, the only way they would die was by being mortally wounded. They aged normally as humans to adulthood, and then continued living as long as they avoided injury.  The concept of Fate was new as Fate himself had no knowledge of their presence until the fall to Panthes.
