MoonShards originated at Duskruin Arena in April 2016. MoonShards were found in the sewers, and pendants were found in Arena prize packages.

The MoonShards needed to be BUNDLEd with appropriate matching MoonShards to create one of four miniature moons. They change from cluster, sphere, moon with each combination and are all a different color for the bundles.

Liabo Moon
Item 1: a jagged white sunstone shard
Item 2: a broken white opal sphere
Item 3: a white dreamstone sliver
Item 4: a thin platinum strip

Lornon Moon
Item 1: a black opal fragment
Item 2: a blood red garnet chunk
Item 3: a coarse grey moonstone shard
Item 4: a thin iron strip

Tilaok Moon
Item 1: a cracked ur-barath stone
Item 2: a broken fire opal chunk
Item 3: a splintered fire agate shard						
Item 4: a thin kakore strip									

Makiri Moon
Item 1: a lopsided golden moonstone sphere
Item 2: a sharp golden topaz shard							
Item 3: a golden glimaerstone nugget						
Item 4: a reticulated crystal-edged golvern segment

The old dwarven archaeologist inside the Underground Temple in the Duskruin Arena accepted MoonShards (8-20 BS), extra completed moons (40-120 BS), pendants (?) and completed pendants (10k BS) in exchange for bloodscrip.

A Moon-filled 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.

COMMON METALS HAZE
EAHNOR deep crimson
EONAKE shimmering silvery grey
FAENOR incandescent green
GOLVERN radiant golden
GORNAR faint golden brown
IMFLASS silvery blue-green
MITHGLIN dark blue-black
VEIL IRON shadowy black
KELYN iridescent dark green
VENIOM celestial blue
RARE METALS HAZE
ALEXANDRITE warm purple
BLACK ORA sinister black
KRODERA distorted silvery blue
URGLAES swirling black
WHITE ORA ethereal white

A moon-filled white ora pendant: Long strands of silver and white ora 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.

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.
