Moonblood Swamp

The swamp lands here have been the home to the Covenant for what is believed to be centuries. Though they have often inhabited other territories, they have always existed within the Moonblood Swamp. The territory here surrounds the Moon Tree, and the Moonflow passes through here. Sunlight never touches this place, it is lit only by moonlight and small lamp flowers that grow along the ground and through the tree limbs. The swamp itself is filled with silver white trees, nearly bone white; from the bark to the beautiful long flowing branches of willow like leaves that trail along the grasses below. Even the thick grass and vegetation that grows here is a pale shimmering white. The land is believed to be blessed by the Moonflow, a haven and protection to those who serve in the Clave.

Tekorai Islands

This massive island chains sits far out over the ocean, bordering Valyria along its southern edges. From the shoreline its easy to spot them dipping in and out of the clouds. Getting there is not easy though. Acess to the islands can only be achieved through ones aether or by those with the ability to fly. The islands themselves range in size, though generally they are quite large. Their surfaces are generally tropical, with this forest cover and heavy vine growth that links them together, forming long swaying bridges between them. There are legends of Guardian spirits once having called this home, their powers still weaving through those vines to protect them. Many have reported seeing the vines move as if of their own free will and others have reported being attacked by them. The isalnds here are home to many rare herbs and creatures that have never been found on the lower lands.

The Shadow Tree

The Shadow Tree is a dark and forbidding place, believed to have housed the founders of the Order and their kin. It is a massive twisted and gnarled black tree that reaches several feet high into the sky. Its trunk is a deep shade of black, smooth to the touch and incredibly cold to the touch as though ice lives beneath the surface. The leaves as well as a dark shade of gray, from their limbs hang the various skulls of wolves and other animals that have been used in various rituals. As the trunk is several feet thick, the bottom has been hollowed out into a great room where those who wish to gather and worship may do so. In the center of the room that has been made stands a circular pool, a well of fresh blood that swirls at all times can be found here.

The Moonflow

The Moonflow is a holy river, a keeper of balance. The waters flow between the Shadow and the Moon tree, nourishing both ancient alters to the six goddesses. The water here appears like the night sky, a deep sapphire blue in color, shimmering with stars. An ancient force resides here, beings known as Lyreflies. A Lyrefly is simply the true essence of a fallen being. They are keepers of the balance, of magic, of essence. It is their collective force that all wolves draw upon to use magic. Lyreflies are a delicate structure on the Moonflow though. They can become corrupted under certain conditions and misused they can unleash unbelievable horrors onto the world of Valyria. Improper funeral rites, existing for long periods of time in the mortal world, and other unknown causes can lead a Lyrefly to becoming incredibly envious of the mortal life, corrupting them and turning them into a purely dark energy.

Moon Tree

The Moon Tree is the alter for the goddesses Lune, Celeste, and Thesalay. It is a massive sleek and beautiful white tree that reaches several feet high into the sky. Its trunk is a brilliant silvery white, smooth to the touch and incredibly warm to the touch as though fire lives beneath the surface. The leaves as well are like flakes of polished silver, from their limbs hang the blessed flowers known as the Moondrop flower, very rare and guarded by ancient curses. As the trunk is several feet thick, the bottom has been hollowed out into a great room where those who wish to gather and worship may do so. In the center of the room that has been made stands a circular pool, a well of beautiful blue water that swirls at all times can be found here. Devout followers often come to leave offerings of flowers, meat, gems, precious metals, and their own blood.
