Physical Description
Special abilities
Zaelim is a master of the Daidrin Gaioforce, with particular focus on Moon Sorcery. He invented the Moon Phantom ability, which allows him to create a magical clone of yourself out of the full moonlight. He also has a strong arcane understanding of Necromancy & Cold Sorcery. The Moonfather is powerful enough to be considered a Lesser Deity, most similar to an Archfey.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Zaelim is the last known member of the original Moon Elf subrace that isn’t a vampire. He was present when the first Moon Elf vampires took over Cyregnor and drew immense power from the Daidrin Gaiostone, but resisted the temptation of the curse, unlike most of his fellow Moon Elves. All others who resisted were killed over time, but Zaelim fought the vampires back to a stalemate. Eventually, Zaelim & the Blood Emperor signed a treaty, preventing either one from directly interfering in the other’s affairs.
With the conflict ended (on his end), Zaelim became the first being to develop the Moon Phantom ability, sharing the secret in his notes throughout his various thought crystals. He used his immense Daidrin Gaioforce powers to create miniature pocket dimensions across Cyregnor and build impressive observatories/collections of knowledge. These pocket dimensions were powered and maintained by Fractal Generators, large devices that pull fractals from the multiverse and break them down to generate dark energy. He staffed each facility with a Moon Phantom to guard his treasures and learn more about the universe. While completing his network of pocket dimensions, Zaelim established himself as the most powerful Moon Sorcerer in his day and age, dubbing himself “The Moonfather”. After adequately establishing his reputation and network, the original Moonfather left Gaion to explore the cosmos, teleporting back to reconnect with his Moon Phantoms every full moon to ensure they remain under his control.
The Moon Phantom stationed at the Vilsafar castle began his own work and studies, while the vampires of Vilsafar mostly stayed out of his affairs out of respect for the Blood Emperor’s original treaty. Any that didn’t (along with other visitors that stumbled upon him) were captured by the Moonfather and used as test subjects in a wide array of experiments, which were usually horrific and resulted in permanent death. During his years, he sired twins with a local Frost Elf woman and acted dismissively/sociopathic towards them, simply naming them The Boy & The Girl. He only desired to use them for his experiments, which he eventually did. The Girl survived her cold magic experiments and became an entity of cold energy (the state of being resulting from converting energy to dark energy), while The Boy died during his necromantic experiments and became an entity of death (the most commonly observed form of dark energy on Gaion). When their Frost Elf mother discovered this abuse and confronted him with reasonable horror, the Moonfather banished her from the pocket dimension, sealing the gateway so that she could never return. However, her love for her kids drove her to the end of her days; after gathering several cultists, she carved a tunnel through the Vilsafar Grand Library to get as close to the dimensional barrier as she could. Once there (suffering one death along the journey down through unknown means), the mother and her cultists performed a ritual to channel dark energy and open a portal to the pocket dimension. While the ritual worked, the mother and cultists were killed by the influx of deathly dark energy. The portal remains open to this day, serving both as a way for The Twins to escape or for others to enter. Over time, the Moon Phantom's mind degraded to madness, disguised as arrogance. By the time the Gaiobros encountered him, he had nearly lost grip on sanity, self preservation, or his original duties.
