Setting

Sitting high in the mountains of the northwest, resting above the cloudline of a perpetually cloudy mountaintop lays the marble city of the Moonfolk. Seperated by the long climb up the apparently barren mountainside, hidden by the clouds and by religous order commanded not to leave from their mountain home they have lived there in isolation since before the Contagion.

This place was originally made by a pair of powerful lunar elders. With sorcery and summoned beings they constructed the city. With their charm and control over their people they took the best and brightest up into the city and then used spells, artifacts, breeding and charms to slowly make a new race of humans.

They charged there people to never leave, taught them how to worship the Goddess Luna and the Primordial Gaia, taught them to obey the Lunar's and to never depart from their mountain home. Then as a final working they turned the power of the manse found on that peak to make the sky above this place perpetually night time.

The City of the Moon

Its rather more like three cities. This mountain does not come to a single peak but rather to 3 close ones. Connected by bridges made with the imperishable techniques of the Old Realm, three small cities are on each peak. Each one devotes itself to a particular way. Though they have no records of when exactly the city was made, this use of three and what each city devotes itself too makes those who have considered it think that the city was made post fall, after the new castes of the Lunars came to be.

One of the three devotes itself to the warrior arts, another to learning and occult, and the final to the arts. The older architecture of each place is rather the same but the newer parts of each clearly show that the work was done by mortal hands and mortal hands that had been swayed by their upbringing and which city they grew up in.
