Moondancer

In the aftermath of the Elder Wars, the nature spirits were weak and fragmented, corrupted by the touch of Soulless Gods trapped within the lands in which they dwelt. The elfen Ellindel Treeheart was first to contact these dying fae, using her arts to heal them. From her teachings, the Moondancers were born.

The Moondancers protect the fae in the name of Mother Moon, the Great Spirit they worship. They revere her triune aspects - the Maiden of growth and change, the Mother of nurturing and teaching, and the Crone of wisdom and protection. The Moondancers are the spiritual liaisons between the Serenwilde and the Ethereal realm, and they are able to summon the fae in times of need. Though often accused of fanaticism, they merely wish to return to purer times before the advent of cities.

Being a wiccan archetype, Moondancers must take Lowmagic as a common skill before studying the ways of Nature, which once they master, allows them to specialise in Wicca to summon fae to as loyal companions. Their secondary skill is Totems, which upon mastery gives specialisation in Moon, allowing the formation of covens and the use of Moon-blessed powers. Wiccans may also choose to learn Healing for the curing of ailments, Astrology for the star-influenced power to aid allies and harm foes, or Hexes to attack with dreadful afflictions. Wiccans may take Alchemy as a tradeskill.

Moondance Tower

The halls of the Moondancers are located in Moondance Tower, which sits atop the cliffs next to Moon Falls, on Moon River. The offices of the guild leaders, the library, and ritual spaces are all contained within the tower. Moon Priestess Ridien resides in the tower and is the guild's tutor.

History

• Moondancers as a guild were dissolved in 473 CE but continue the legacy of Ellindel as a class. (Events #380)
