Initially released during the April 2016 Duskruin Arena, this pendant acts like a glamour crystal when used. The pendant itself is useless without the accompanying moon shards found only in the Bloodriven Sewers. During the August 2016 run, a new feature was added with bloodrunes that add an additional description to the glamoured affect. Moonshard parts are no longer available in the sewers.

MoonShards

MoonShards were found in the sewers, and are required to complete the MoonShard pendant. They need to be BUNDLEd with appropriate matching MoonShards to create one of four miniature moons based on Liabo, Lornon, Tilaok, and Makiri. They change to cluster, sphere, then a completed moon with each combination and are all a different color for the bundles. The old dwarven archaeologist inside the Underground Temple in the Duskruin Arena exchanges bloodscrip for moonshard parts.

Liabo (white)
  • a jagged white sunstone shard
  • a broken white opal sphere
  • a white dreamstone sliver
  • a thin platinum strip
Lornon (dark grey)
  • a black opal fragment
  • a blood red garnet chunk
  • a coarse grey moonstone shard
  • a thin iron strip
Tilaok (fire-hued)
  • a cracked ur-barath stone
  • a broken fire opal chunk
  • a splintered fire agate shard
  • a thin kakore strip
Makiri (golden)
  • a lopsided golden moonstone sphere
  • a sharp golden topaz shard
  • a golden glimaerstone nugget
  • a reticulated crystal-edged golvern segment

Analyze

You analyze your Liabo moon and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:
You have successfully combined all the items necessary to craft a miniature Liabo moon!  You can either keep this finished item, or you can use it in conjunction with the pendant found on the Duskruin grounds.

Usage: SPIN and TOSS

You get no sense of whether or not the moon may be further lightened.

Usage

VERB FIRST THIRD
SPIN You deftly balance the miniature <name> moon on the tip of your forefinger and with the opposite hand, spin it gently. <Colored> sparks radiate outward for the duration of the sphere's rotations and dissipate as the ball ceases spinning and falls into your hand. Character deftly balances his miniature <name> moon on the tip of his forefinger and with his other hand, spins it gently. <Colored> sparks radiate outward for the duration of the sphere's rotations and dissipate as the ball ceases spinning and falls into his hand.
TOSS You toss the miniature <name> moon into the air. It hovers weightlessly for a moment, a tail of <colored> mist in its wake. Slowly, it falls to your waiting hand. Character tosses his miniature <name> moon into the air. It hovers weightlessly for a moment, a tail of <colored> mist in its wake. Slowly, it falls to his waiting hand.

MoonShard Pendant

Upon placing the four completed miniature moons into a four-ringed metal pendant, it will randomly transform into a moon-filled pendant with one of fifteen possible metals, and is a fully functioning glamour crystal. The metal dictates the color of the haze for the glamour, as well as the base and show description of the pendant.

LOOK

Long strands of silver and <metal> have been twisted together in a double rope pattern to create a sturdy, but elegant, neckchain.  Four unembellished rings situated side-by-side dangle from the centermost point of the metal strands.  All four rings contain a small glowing sphere that appears to spin slowly.

Analyze

You analyze your white ora pendant and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This white ora pendant cannot be altered in any way.  It will hold miniature moons created from individual pieces found in Bloodriven Village, Duskruin.  You curently have 4 moons attached to your pendant.

USAGE: COVER (turn feature off), EXHALE, FIDGET, PROD, RAISE, RUB, and SHAKE

Since your pendant is unlocked, it can alter your LOOK description.  When worn, you can RUB the pendant to activate this ability, and PROD to change what others will see when they look at you.

Through a ethereal white haze, you see a/an <race> Champion of <Duskruin/Deity> with <complexion> skin and <eye characteristic, if applicable> <eye color> eyes.

Use PROD to toggle between "Duskruin" and <your attuned deity>.  Note that this pendant will not be accepted as alter fodder.

You get no sense of whether or not the pendant may be further lightened.

Additional Information

Bloodforge

In order to change the pendant's metal/haze, a visit to the Bloodforge is necessary.

Loresong

Loresong Reaction
After the first few words of your song leave your mouth, your ears go deaf and your vision falls black. Your lips continue to move, but you hear nothing at all, not even your own voice.

Scenery unfolds around you, and you find yourself standing at the base of the DragonSpine Mountains in front of a thin section of the Locksmehr River. The water has a faint tinge of red, and you notice something protruding from its bank. You kneel down and scoop up an oily stone, gazing curiously at its crimson-laced porous surface. In an unfamiliar gravelly voice, you murmur, "The Gods have answered, and they now share with us this gift from the blood ravine." Your breathing slows and your muscles tighten to a point of paralysis. Time seems to speed up as if hundreds of years were passing before your eyes while you remain unable to move. The moons rise and fall in the sky, and hundreds of men and women visit the water's edge only to leave with sacks full of the red flint-like substance. With a blink, time slows and you feel your breathing return to normal as your muscles relax. You glance down to see a dried river bed, and your hand is empty, no longer holding the treasured ur-barath stone.

After finishing her song's verse, BARD drops to her knees, gazing down. She reaches toward the floor and scoops at the air, contemplating her empty hand. She stares intently, a distant look in her eyes.
You continue to sing, but you remain unable to hear your own words. Your surroundings are unfamiliar.

Three participants clothed in ripped cloth and bloodied armor stand before you, their heads bowed in respect. Hundreds of spectators cheer eagerly as they await your confirmation of the triumphant combatants. You glance down and take note of three silver and kelyn pendants in your hand, each filled with four miniature moons. You silently approach the trio, and in a methodical and practiced production, drape a pendant around each participant's neck. The winners fall to their knees as you recite, "Your physical prowess has proven you worthy of this gift from our Gods. Wear it with pride in remembrance of this day...the day you became a true Champion!" The rest of your words are drowned out by the cheering crowds who follow the victors out of the arena and toward a great temple. Black clouds of dust obscure your vision, and all sounds cease. You feel incredibly disoriented.

BARD maintains her lifeless gaze. An unfamiliar, gravelly voice escapes her lips as she speaks, "Your physical prowess has proven you worthy of this gift from our Gods. Wear it with pride in remembrance of this day...the day you became a true Champion!" A distant chorus of cheers, origin unknown, drowns out any further speech.
Words spill across your lips as they've done many times before, but you are still unable to hear your own voice.

A deep ominous rumble echoes in the distance. The ground begins to tremble and shake violently. A heavy downpour soaks the terrain. Suddenly, waves of mud and debris slide across the ground and engulfs the arena. The ground splits open and swallows the surrounding buildings including the sacred temple, suffocating them in a dark ocean of dust and rubble. Tiny particles in the air force you to blink rapidly, but you are unable to see. You shut your eyes tight and rub them with clenched fists, sandy grit scraping across your cornea. You scream out in pain, but are unable to hear your own cries. Darkness surrounds you.

BARD begins to sweat profusely. Her knees tremble and buckle beneath her as she struggles to maintain her balance. She reaches toward her face and claws at her eyes in obvious pain. She opens her mouth as if to scream, but nothing comes out.
As the sting in your eyes dissipates, you open your eyes to see an area - empty, overgrown, and with little sign of life. You struggle to bring yourself back to the present.

Bandits flood the area, structures rise from the ground, smoke billows into the sky -- signs that life has returned to the once ruined land at the blood ravine.

With your last bit of energy, you open your mouth and speak, in the same unfamiliar and gravelly voice, "Bloodriven..." With a weak gasp for air, you collapse onto the ground, exhausted.

BARD turns her head from side to side, her eyes darting rapidly back and forth as she watches something unfold. In the unfamiliar gravelly voice, he says, "Bloodriven..." before collapsing onto the floor.

Bloodrunes

Bloodrunes can be used in conjunction with the Moon-filled Pendant in order alter the appearance of the illusion. Creating a bloodrune is done by using a flat etched stone, which is found in the Sewers, and then carving an ur-barath totem with a chisel. When a bloodrune is in use, it adds an additional line to the pendant's SHOW description.

Bloodrunes, while in stone form, can be TURNed to prevent them from being sold to the archaeologist NPC. MARK does not work with this item.

LOOK

Long strands of silver and <metal> have been twisted together in a double rope pattern to create a sturdy, but elegant, neckchain.  Four unembellished rings situated side-by-side dangle from the centermost point of the metal strands.  All four rings contain a small glowing sphere that appears to spin slowly.  A bloodrune rests atop the four moons, secured by a luminescent, crimson-hued thread.

Classic

Classic bloodrunes are the most common tier available. When added, the bloodrune adds an additional line to the glamour illusion of the pendant.
Effect: A(n) <rune> look washes over (his/her) face. [Expand]

Divine

Divine bloodrunes are the second most common tier able to be found in the sewers. Similar to the classic tier, they add a line to the MoonShard pendant's original glamour effect, and align with specific deities. A blood-infused crystal can be used to slightly alter the rune on divine bloodrunes, changing the moonshard pendant's base glamour from saying Champion of <Deity> to either Betrayer or Zealot.
Effect: Interspersed within the dim aura are miniature <item> that float around (him/her). [Expand]

Arcane

Arcane bloodrunes are the third tier available, and were initially introduced during the August 2017 Duskruin run. Unlike the classic or divine, arcane bloodrunes change the entire glamour affect of the MoonShard pendant instead of adding a line at the end of it. Blood-infused crystals can be used to change the location in the pendant's glamour from Bloodriven Village to what is the location associated with the rune on the crystal.
Effect: Varies based on rune. [Expand]

Legendary

Legendary bloodrunes are the final tier of bloodrunes and are limited to a release of 1 per instance. Similar to arcane and mystic tiers, they change the glamour projected by a moonshard pendant. Additionally, they work with corresponding cloaks that are released during the same run but in alternate methods, such as the Treasure Trove.
Effect: Varies based on rune. [Expand]
Symbol Meaning Release Cloak Appearance
~OO~ Minotaur August 2016 Rough Leather Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a minotaur. Two thick horns protrude from the top of <his/her> head and taper to extreme points. <His|Her> menacing golden eyes appear to flash intermittently but exude a great sense of intelligence. A thick gold ring dangles from <his|her> nose, and a slightly muffled snort-grunt is occasionally heard coming from <his|her> direction.
^O== Black Yeti December 2016 Shaggy Fur Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a yeti. Barely recognizable, <he|she> is covered in long, gristly hair tinged from deep scarlet to stark black. Clumps of dirt imbedded with twigs and leaves cover <his|her> domed head, and a single bushy eyebrow creates a thick ledge of fur over <his|her> tiny black eyes. Massive ivory teeth stained with traces of crimson protrude from <his|her> darkened leathery lips.

|O| Cave Troll April 2017 Trollhide Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a cave troll. Towering above most giantmen, <his|her> hulking stature alone is intimidating. Wide splits in <his|her> grey leathery skin sprout tufts of coarse dark hair, and rows of oversized fangs protrude from <his|her> mouth, forcing <his|her> lips into a permanent menacing grin. An overwhelming stench of decay lingers around <him|her>.
|X| Troll King April 2017 Trollhide Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a troll king. With arms like enormous tree branches and claws sharp as razors, <he|she> appears quite a formidable opponent. Grotesque clusters of scab-ridden warts along <his|her> dark green leathery skin are slightly overshadowed by bits of bloodied flesh that dangle from <his|her> oversized incisors. While <his|her> size and appearance is quite intimidating, a vacant look exists in <his|her> eyes.
~\\O//~ Storm Griffin February 2018 Feather Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a storm griffin. In contradiction, large powder-blue feathers gracefully frame <his|her> face, but <his|her> aquiline nose presents validity to <his|her> ability to slice through the thickest of flesh with ease. <His|Her> muscular and powerful hindquarters are only slightly less intimidating than the massive claws that could assassinate any opponent in one brutal swipe. An elongated, sandy blonde feline tail with a tuft of a darker-hued fur swats tirelessly at the air around <him|her>, and <he|she> seems to almost hover a few inches off the ground, propelled by <his|her> daunting, but magnificent, wings.
~\\X//~ War Griffin February 2018 Feather Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a war griffin. In contradiction, large golden feathers gracefully frame <his|her> face, but <his|her> aquiline nose presents validity to <his|her> ability to slice through the thickest of flesh with ease. <His|Her> muscular and powerful hindquarters are only slightly less intimidating than the massive claws that could assassinate any opponent in one brutal swipe. An elongated, white feline tail with a tuft of a darker-hued fur swats tirelessly at the air around <him|her>, and <he|she> seems to almost hover a few inches off the ground, propelled by <his|her> daunting, but magnificent, wings.
\\~oOo~// Vesperti June 2018 Tenebrous Cloak Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a vesperti. Willowy thin and tall, <his|her> lithe form is covered in coarse black fur. Intense grey eyes stare out from beneath a mane of tousled hair, while the fine features of <his|her> face resemble an elven ancestry. A veined membrane of skin extends from <his|her> ankles up to his wrists, their edges scalloped like those of a bat's wings. Tapered digits bearing glossy black claws cap the wings at taloned feet and hands.
`x-^-x` Abyran'ra August 2019 Black Snakeskin Cloak Through a/n <pendant color> haze, <character name>'s features appear transformed into those of an abyran'ra. Thirteen <hair color> serpents ring <his|her> head, bestowing <her|him> a full crown of the twisting vipers as they writhe back and forth in an undulating, hypnotic fashion. <His|Her> pale, lidless eyes are devoid of pupils -- merely rippling with faint hints of <eye color> every few moments. Twin pairs of fangs peek out from beneath <his|her> thin lips, and the smoothness of <his|her> skin fades away into sleek scales below <his|her> abdomen, <his|her> lower body tapering into a massive, sinuous tail like that of a snake.
.-'', _( )____ Giant Rat August 2020 Scraggly Rat Fur Cloak Through an <pendant color> haze, <character> features appear to be transformed into those of a giant rat. Dark, scruffy amber fur dominates his pot-bellied form, while beady crystal green eyes gaze over a pointed snout with two very large, white front teeth. Two naked pink ears, the right of which is missing a large chunk, twitch as he listens to everything around him. A long, seemingly bald tail stretches out behind him.
==||== Colossus August 2021 Granite-hued oilcloth cloak Towering over her surroundings, Thandiwe has a stony countenance with an impassive expression and an unyielding hazel gaze. Chiseled features with chips and pits due to aging and erosion make it impossible to determine her race, while skins of moss in shades of rust red provide the hint of natural hair. Her hands stand out the most, the large digits at once smooth from exposure to weather and yet cracked with age, hinting at a hidden strength beneath a calm exterior.
./*~*\. Snow Spectre February 2022 Frosty gossamer shroud Haunting winter grey eyes gaze with a disturbing vacancy from Thandiwe's eerie visage, which morphs between expressions of abject horror and fractured sanity from one moment to the next. His waif-like limbs float in a current of frosty air that spirals around him, transforming his appearance between states of flickering, semi-translucency to near blinding white and icy solidity. A mane of coppery red hair frames his gaunt head, the scraggly tendrils falling away from his gaunt face in erratic lengths.

Policy 7 Warning

Posted by Wyrom 2016 Jul 1:

Seems I have to post about a POLICY 7 issue that has come up.

It seems a few of the pendants that went out may have caused a bug that would leave the moon you tried to place inside it still in your hand. If this happened to you, please place an ASSIST and let us know, as well as turn over any moons that didn't physically go into the pendant. As of right now, we know there is one pendant that could still be completed. It's unclear as of right now if anyone used a buggy Makiri moon to complete a pendant. If you did, please tell us.

This also means people should be very leery of purchasing a Makiri moon from another player, should you be wishing to complete that final pendant that is out there. If you have the final Makiri moon and would like to confirm with me how legitimate it is, please email me (using the link to the left). If the golvern segment hasn't been combined, that would also be helpful to let me know.
