Moonblessed communities gather for midnight rituals and celebrations, guiding lost souls in the darkness.

They champion compassion and introspection, harnessing lunar energies in their magic. Many of their sacred observances take place under specific moon phases, which they believe influence both their magical powers and their emotional states.
