Lunar Dominions

The Realm’s hegemony is founded atop mountains of stolen money and magic, soaked through with blood. It has ripped all its possessions from others, including its very name. The elders of the Silver Pact have marked each crime down through the ages, each affront, each act of theft and murder in the name of the Realm the Lunar Tenchi once swore to protect.

It will not stand.

The Silver Pact is an alliance of Lunar Tenchi united in purpose: to tear down the Realm and free themselves from the ancient bonds they once failed to uphold. The Pact is founded on mutual aid, defense of Luna’s chosen, and opposition to the Realm and its Sidereal masters. The most
fundamental duty of any member is to find and rescue newly-Tenchi Lunars—a daunting task, given the scope of Spira, but one the Lunar lifestyle is well-suited to. In addition to keeping an ear to the ground as a matter of survival, Silver Pact members have a long-standing practice of rewarding any spirit that brings them news of newly-Tenchi brothers and sisters.

Once a young Lunar has been taken beyond the immediate reach of the Wyld Hunt, they’re brought before a No Moon affiliated with the Pact, and given the true story of Luna’s Chosen—what they were, what befell them, and why each Lunar Exaltation brings with it a hungry turmoil of the soul.

After the young Lunar’s caste has been fixed by his No Moon mentor, the Pact’s obligation to him ends unless he decides to participate in its loose, extended network of favor-trading, support, and anti-Realm operations. A young Lunar stands to reap benefits far in excess of what older Pact members ask in return—the Silver Pact’s war against the Realm is a long-term stratagem, one that depends on today’s boon-asking youth to grow into the next century’s indoctrinator, strategist, and war-counselor.
