Mondaleen

Mondaleen is a large farming community on the edge of the Dead Sky. They receive an eternal day due to the orbit of the sun that circles above the collection of islands.

It began as a Vesperdae enclave farming goats and snails. They acquired more islands, growing root bridges binding the rocks together growing into a fully fledged rangelandand eventually others settled and with them brought prosperity and civilization.

It was not long after that the Church of Light was founded. The sun was worshiped and cool light it brought. The church worships the god Pelor, the light, hidden is Mondo the Ever-Sun, who presides over the warmth of the sun to his brother's light.

In the 7th year of Calix's reign Mondaleen was struck by a unknown cataclysm.

Many speak of the black ship and the doom bell that haunted the city. It is said that the ship was a wraith from the Dead Sky that rose up from the abyss. It sailed astride a churning cloud of darkness that spat thunder and lightning. It sailed over the city with a eerie azure grave light as it circled the temple sounding the doom it brought. Thirteen times it rang. Thirteen tolls for the lives of the city.

What happened to the city in the black ship's wake is unclear. Those who survived all told different stories. Some claim the walls of their houses bleed. Others saw dark creatures crawl out from the mouths of others, clawing and chocking them.

All saw that the warm life giving sun had been stained a dark blood red in the wake of that dread ship.
