Moon Shard

During the Night of the Weeping Starfire, Karadia, the Guardian Moon, shattered upon the sky, and the pieces fell to the earth as Starfire embers. Many small pieces remained in the clouds and, to this day, are stirred by nocturnal winds, known as the dreaded ember ash. However, larger pieces fell to the ground. When found buried in the earth, these glowing, hot-to-the-touch pieces range in size from a large head of lettuce to as small as a pebble. When worked and encased in fey glass, a Moon Shard can protect against night winds in a radius of 30 feet, glows like a lamp in the darkness, and protects those in its light from being surprised. However, the Hordes of Night can see the light of a Moon Shard a mile away and will draw enemies to the travelers who dare venture forth at night. Sleeping outside at night is still dangerous, but sleeping in the light of the Moon Shard will allow a save to avoid the Darkness taking over the dreamer.

Welcome, reader; thanks for taking the time to discover who I am! My name is Roberto, although I usually go by Sunglar online. I am a longtime tabletop RPG player, primarily a GM for the better part of that time; some will say that’s because of my love of telling a good story, others because I’m a control freak, but that’s debatable. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean with a small but active gaming community. I’ve played RPGs for almost 40 years, and for most of that time, I played D&D in all its permutations, including Pathfinder and D&D 5th edition. Other games our regular gaming group plays include Mutants & Masterminds, Castles & Crusades, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, Alien, and more. I have played many games through the years and plan to play many more. I am a compulsive homebrewer and rarely play a campaign I have not created myself. You can follow me on social media as Sunglar, and I’m regularly active on Facebook where you can find me posting regularly in the Puerto Rico Role Players group. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
