Lore Details

Moon Dust is the ground up moon rock which fell during The Shattering. It’s pure, highly Addictive and can cause one to become a Lunatic. It also caused other mutations over the last 200 or so years, leading to the Dustborn and a number of magical plants and animals.

Moonshine is an alchemically processed, filtered, and distilled Moon Dust. The process lowers the Addiction chances, slightly strengthens the magical properties for consumers, and greatly reduces, but does not eliminate the build up which leads to Lunatics.

New Moon is harvested Moon Dust deposits from within Lunatics. Some of the magics have been spent, leaving what is a more Addictive and more dangerous substance than pure Moon Dust. However, it can be processed into Moonshine just like Moon Dust and while it’s a little riskier, the end result is typically fairly safe.

Imbibing any of the three can grant a person, animal, or even plant the ability to manifest magic. Turning that magic into spells still can take practice and effort. Imbibing high amounts of it can enhance a person greatly, but increases the associated risks of Addiction and becoming a Lunatic.
