What happened to the land

The Moon King pulls the night itself down over Brightkeep.

The boss: Dramatic and poetic, with a big silver crown and pajamas under his armor. Sleepy and cranky. He shouts in capitals when he's upset. His 3 phases (throne, summons, flight with the Grumble Moon) get more dramatic, not scarier.

How the story ends here: He gives up and admits his secret: he's scared of the dark.

Weather in Shadowmoor

Expect thunderstorm, eclipse, "Grumble Moon". Over its 6 days you'll see fog, eclipse, thunderstorm, clear and grumble moon. Wind pushes your arrows, fog hides far-away foes, rain weakens fire, snow slows walkers, and night means only torch-lit enemies are easy to see.

The story so far

Narrator: The Moon King pulled the night down over Brightkeep. This is Shadowmoor.

The Moon King: Little castle! Your flame makes my moon look silly! PUT! IT! OUT!

Sister Marigold: Hello, dear ones. I'm Sister Marigold. My bell keeps spooky things away.

Captain Bramble: Steady, Steward. This is the big one.

Enemies that debut in Shadowmoor

  • Gloom Wisp

    Ethereal

    Gloom Wisps are little puffs of sad fog. Holy light cheers them right up. And away.

    Bone Callers whistle, and skeletons come running. Skeletons love a good whistle.

    Rattlebones fall apart when bonked, then put themselves back together. Once.

  • Shadow Knight

    Armored, ethereal

    Nobody knows who is inside a Shadow Knight. Maybe nobody!

    The Moon King rules Shadowmoor. He hasn't had a good night's sleep in years.

After the The Moon King fight

The Moon King: My moon went dim. I'm scared of the dark. I can't sleep!

Captain Bramble: Oh, Your Majesty. Why didn't you just ask?

Narrator: The Steward gave the Moon King a tiny spark of the Everflame, in a lantern.

The Moon King: A night-light? For ME? ...It's perfect.
