Bright Moon: a Monstrous Dating Sim

About the adventure

The country of Cyllene is run by the coven of the bright daughters, a trio of fae who fought to take land from the surrounding humanoids in order to make a place for the peoples they demonized. Whether you be vampiric, Lycanthropic, goblinoid, gnollish, or any number of other things, you were welcome in this place. The trio themselves were assembled by their elder, known as the Crohne, Amalthea. She assembled the hags and founded the four courts, who were based on the courts back in the faewilds where she had spent her early childhood. The Vernal Court, Aestival Court, Sere Court, and Brumal Court. Each court’s denizens chose a leader for themselves to represent their courts. For decades, they have known nothing but the growing pains of a blossoming country, with the occasional antagonizing skirmish from the countries surrounding them, who dislike the fact that there is an entire nation of allied “monsters”. A few years ago, Amalthea the Crohne died. The Matron and Maiden of the coven, Matron Ganymede and Maiden Rhea took on the roles of Crohne and Matron, becoming Matron Rhea, and Crohne Ganymede. They have been without a third member for the past 5 years, leaving them without coven magics. The surrounding countries have grown restless, as word of Crohne Amalthea’s death spread. Luckily, the Daughters of the Bright Moon can add a new member to their coven. It involves a ritual that can only be performed during a lunar eclipse. Luckily, there is a lunar eclipse in one month’s time- so they will not be without their third member for much longer. However… They still must decide on who they find worthy to take that place, on top of a new problem: Navigating the tumultuous politics of their country on top of it. To this end, theyve decided to host a month long celebration of the moon, sending for the leaders and their full entourage to assemble in the capital for them to choose from amongst their number whom they will make the new Maiden.
