The Nightsilver Woods is the sacred forest of Selemene, the Moon Goddess. The Dark Moon Order resides in the woods, dedicating themselves to Selemene and doing her bidding.[1] Trespassers are either turned away from the Dark Moon warriors, or struck by beams of lunar energy from Selemene herself.[2]
History[]
When the Nightsilver Woods were barely formed, a single shard of fell from the moon, and the Shrine of Selemene was erected at that very location.[3] The Temple of Mene was also built later in the forest.
When Vrogros, the Underlord emerged from the underground of city of Aziyog, he announced to Luna and Mirana his intentions to invade and burn down the Nightsilver woods.[4] This has not yet come to pass.
The Dark Moon Horde, in their desire to bring about the Dark Moon cataclysm, entered the Nightsilver Woods and attacked the Temple of Mene while the Dark Moon Order was incapacitated. They were repelled by outside champions, who stepped in to defend the goddess' sanctuary.[5]
Although inhabitants of the Nightsilver Woods are calm today, they have had a complicated history of politics and violence.[6]
Flora[]
Luminescent lotuses grow in the forest, inside silvery pools. These lotuses are considered sacred to Selemene, and are fiercely guarded from thieves by Mirana.[7]
Fauna[]
A great number of beasts inhabit the forest, including Owlions, litigons, and Nova, Luna's mount.[8][9] A griffin was also once found in the Nightsilver Woods. It later became Mirana's mount.[10]
The forest is likely also home to the sacred Lunar Moth, as well as its offspring, the felmoth.
Visitors[]
Sun Wukong sometimes spends summers in the Nightsilver Woods.[11]
Fymryn steals the Lotuses from the pool sometimes in order for Mene to Return.
