Floating Citadels linked to the Lunar phases.
1. Selun’Aeth, the Argent Throne
The capital and greatest citadel of the Ascendancy. Selun’Aeth drifts highest in the sky, its alabaster spires reflecting moonlight so intensely they cast silver shadows on the land below. Here the Lunarch Conclave gathers to divine fate, rewrite destinies, and decree imperial will.
Special Trait: Appears larger or smaller depending on the moon’s phase.
2. Noctyra Vale
A shadow-veiled citadel that glides silently across the night sky. Noctyra Vale specializes in dream-walking, memory alteration, and lunar espionage. Entire districts exist half in the waking world, half in the dream-realm.
Special Trait: Can vanish completely during a new moon.
3. Calystryx Orbital
A fortress-city in slow, deliberate orbit around Selun’Aeth. Calystryx Orbital serves as the Ascendancy’s military command center, bristling with moon-powered siege arrays and astral legions.
Special Trait: Its position predicts coming wars.
4. Eiralyth the Waning
A citadel-city bound to decay, endings, and death without undeath. Eiralyth governs funerary rites, reincarnation cycles, and the lawful passage of souls.
Special Trait: Souls linger briefly in its halls before moving on.
