Voran Moon

## Forest moon of raw magical energy

As the Leviathan, a majestic marvel of engineering, pierced the veil of the forest moon's atmosphere, a gasp of awe filled the bridge. The view beyond the panoramic viewport was unlike any the crew had witnessed before. Towering, gigantic sequoias – monstrous monuments of life that dwarfed even the tallest skyscrapers of their home world – reached toward the cosmos with their leafy fingers, seeming to defy the very laws of biology and physics.

These titans of timber, bathed in an ethereal, ever-changing hue, stood tall amidst an undulating landscape of neon vegetation, gently illuminated by the shimmering reflection of the distant star on the moon's glassy, pristine lakes. The trees, stretched as far as the eye could see, creating a cathedral-like canopy that masked the vibrant forest floor beneath.

A breathtaking spectacle of iridescent mists that flowed through the forest like a spectral river, gently lapping at the bark of the ancient sequoias. The mists flickered with an otherworldly luminescence, displaying an array of colors that challenged the crew's understanding of the visible spectrum.

The Leviathan's landing thrusters rumbled to life, their fiery plumes disrupting the tranquil scene, causing the rainbow mists to roil and churn in the ship's wake. The vessel descended, nimbly navigating through the colossal sequoia trees, each one a testament to the moon's grandeur.

The ship, settles down gently upon the soft, moss-laden ground, disturbing a flurry of neon-hued wildlife that scurried away into the underbrush. Despite the Leviathan's enormous size, the towering sequoias dwarfed it in comparison. The ship nestled among the trees like a hatchling under the care of its mother, inconspicuous against the gargantuan backdrop.

As the crew prepared to disembark, they felt the peculiar energy of the rainbow mists pressing against their minds. The mists seeped into the Leviathan's hull, teasing with the promise of raw magical energy.

As they ventured further they came across strange winged creatures, these creatures resembled green, non-vicious dragons, named Glorfin who greeted our heroes to the moon of Voran. The dragon-like creature flew away when asked for directions. Luckily, Captain Fay Stareg discovered a lift nearby and our heroes descended from the space port platform ( dock four, port 16 ) to the bustling city of Voran.

A bustling city that sits a thousand feet off the ground, solid rope and magical bridges connect thousand of branches and buildings in a chaotic web of community with friendly and busy civilization. After stopping a local to ask for directions, our heroes were directed to go to **Smith’s Tavern** which is located on the fir trunk.

When they arrived at the tavern in high spirits, Alistair was able to eavesdrop on a couple of patrons discussing how the precious Star Sapphire was stolen by the renowned thief, the Starsntacher. That the wizard Trelimor was looking for someone to get his stone back, during this heist, eye witnesses spotted strange lights in the sky around the Whispering Tree, these patrons believe that these lights may of had something to do with the theft of the stone.

Voran is home to many magical shops, one of which being "The Storm and Staff" which is run by a friendly Loxodon Named Frilly. The crew spent copious amounts of gold in The Storm and staff, quickly becoming the best customer that Frilly has had.

#### **The Mines**

The Gallium mines are located a few hours out side of the main city on Voran and are run by a hard nose man, that has little time for anything that interrupts his business. Once inhabited by a shadow dragon, the mines have been cleared by the crew of the Leviathan.

### Government

Voran is run by a council of 9 people, including the 4 wizards that protect the stones. The council itself inherently runs well, however the wizards look down upon the general public and use their power as they deem fit, regardless of the effects on the lower class. Aside from the wizards the outward appearance of the council is well received, including throwing the festival at their own expense for everyone to enjoy.
