Region 5 of 5
Shadowmoor
Shadowmoor covers days 25 to 30 of Castle Bonk. Violet, storm green, and moonlight. Holy damage matters here. Weather: fog, eclipse, thunderstorm, and the Grumble Moon.
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.
