Empire

The Kingdom of the Moon God. An empire forged under the silver mantle of the moon. Its people believe that the moon watches over every human act, blessing the righteous and punishing the dishonorable. Their culture is based on harmony, honor, and sacrifice. Full moons are sacred days: the lights go out, and the temples are filled with silent prayers.
