Noctua is a hidden cave set behind the Valkhound barrier of the Secret Refuge in Pegasus. Within it is a massive cathedral set into the cave wall and blanketed in a cosmic pink-gold nebula. Inside the cathedral there are no pews, but instead a yawning open hall littered with the flowerfall of ever-blooming trees at its ceiling. Toward the back of the hall is a mysterious portal that leads to the Surface of Let; the cathedral is mirrored surface-side, set into a tall mountain deep within the Vaa (wilds). The further Gembound stray from the cathedral, the more magic-sick they feel; if they venture too far, they die without chrysalis. (Let orbits the planet Eron which is visible in the sky!)
Valkhounds are unable to access this area. |
LOCATIONS
The Cathedral
A massive cathedral that holds the portal to the surface of the moon, Let, the cave resides in. |
The Shrine of Wisdom
Wisteria trees and flowering plants make for a lush garden with creeks and ponds, and arching bridges leading to pagodas; the largest pagoda houses a shrine with an owl statue. |
The Foothills
A forest of trees and plants rich with life open into meadows and creeks. This area experiences all four seasons and its temperatures lean on the cooler side. |
The Edge of Magic
Venture too far and experience the lack of the cave's magical reservoir: sickness, tiredness, and eventually, death without chrysalis. Turn back now! |
