**Luna Iceward** is a character in Belkinus Necro Hunt played by Shelby, whose Internet presence is Wystle While You Work. She wields a sword named Wrath.

## Childhood and Vadrin Icewind

Luna was born in the Year 183 in the small mountain town of Yedsall, located on the western edge of the Jagged Peaks. Her mother, Sina Steelward, left a long time ago after finding out about the circumstances of her celestial powers. Luna was raised by her father Vadrin Icewind.

Luna is an aasimar of the Queen of Ravens, the result of a deal made between the deity and her father during a dangerous battle in the war.

Vadrin passed away of unknown causes in Year 206. Luna inherited his sword, Absolution.

Shortly before Belkinus Necro Hunt, the grave of Luna's father was desecrated by Luc Badeaux. His corpse was then sundered by Thorne after Luc tried to use it to defend himself.

## Monster Hunting

Luna dealth with the grief of her father's death by hunting monsters in the Jagged Peaks, earning her scars and her nickname as the Ghost of Yedsall.

During this time she met Scorpio Whitemark when the two hunted a bear together. Scorpio dealt the killing blow, but Luna skinned the animal. The rivalry between the pair evolved into love, and Luna gifted Scoprio the bearskin, which he still wears.

## During Belkinus Necro Hunt

Luna progressively uncovered more of her father's relationship with the Raven Queen throughout Belkinus Necro Hunt, including her connection to Absolution.

She also proposed to Scorpio. Scorpio is an elf, and Luna has said she only speaks enough Elvish to say "I love you."

Absolution was broken in the killing blow to Chandrelle Miharian.

## Settling in Chester City

Luna's reputation as a monster hunter skyrocketed after her role in killing Chandrelle Miharian. Yedsall became a landmark, and Vadrin's statue was restored.

Luna founded an adventuring group called the Raven's Calling in Chester City. The group offers a better path to those who had limited opportunities early in life, including former Protectors. Their emblem is the broken hilt of Absolution.

Luna and Scorpio got married. Their wedding was officiated by Renee Badeaux, who also gifted the couple surprise decorations for their low-key ceremony in the woods. Nathaniel Gainsby sent a second Rock with Googly Eyes, and Enoch Solamen gifted some intricate jewellery and tinkered children's toys. Kara Miharian was also invited.

The couple had two sons, whose names are Apollo and Leo. One became an adventurer with the Raven's Calling, and the other became an inquisitive rogue in the Witchtakers under Renee Badeaux's leadership. Luna and Scorpio also offered to mentor Eliza and her brother Edmund alongside their own sons.

## Relationship with the Raven Queen and Vadrin

Luna initially distanced herself from the Raven Queen, not wanting her actions to be guided by a deity or a faith. After she discovered she was part of her father's pact with the Raven Queen, Absolution started being pulled toward necromancy, growing cold in its presence, and channeling an unfamiliar voice which spoke directly to Luna.

Kara Miharian used her ability to channel the Raven Queen, and the goddess revealed to Luna that Absolution just a mundane sword when she bestowed it on Vadrin. The magical properties manifested in the sword were a result of Luna's conviction that the Raven Queen abhorred necromancy. When she learned that the Raven Queen permitted the use of dead bodies as long as the souls were left at rest, and that Absolution had no inherent magic, the sword lost its necromancy-focused properties.

By the end of Belkinus Necro Hunt, Luna came to terms with her divine origins, even evoking it in the name of the Raven's Call.

## Luna's Echo

Luna says her echo is based on a practice from the Jagged Peaks. It initially resembled her father, Vadrin Icewind, a veteran of the war. She first believed it to be a reflection of her psyche and physical capabilities. Later, she wondered if the echo retained some of her father's true soul after it showed signs of an independent will during a sparring match in Rugawood.

Ultimately, during a conversation between Luna and the Raven Queen channelled through Kara Miharian, Luna learned that her father's soul was truly at rest. Since then, Luna's echo manifests as a version of herself with Raven Queen-styled clothing and glowing eyes and scars.

## Surname

In Session 1, Luna's surname is given as Iceward everywhere except on the character overlays, where it was Icewind. Shelby preferred the mistake, and the character's name is canonically Luna Icewind.
