Moon Mages are an esoteric collective of magicians, scholars and soothsayers from several different sects. Known for the versatile and powerful magic that flows from their fingertips and their ability to foretell the future, Moon Mages are among the most potent spellcasters on Elanthia.

Their abilities are tied closely to the rising and setting of the three moons Xibar, Yavash and Katamba, as well as the motions of other heavenly bodies. Thus when the skies smile down upon a Moon Mage, his powers are strong; yet when all the moons have set, he is considerably weaker.

Guild Hall Locations

The Crossing

In a massive observatory outside the city proper, Celestian Kssarh T'Kinnirii teaches new students with a passion that most would dub abusive. (You can type DIR MOON MAGE for directions.)

Taisgath

Housed inside the tremendous shell of some unknown sea beast, the Moon Mage Guild on Taisgath is overseen by Fateweaver Lomtaun Nedorath of the Gypsies. This location also houses one of the milestone quests in the life of a moon mage. Found here: WALKTHROUGH of the 100th Circle Moon Mage Quest.

Shard

Tezirite Mortom Saist, respected Guildleader and politician, welcomes all Moon Mages in the Great Tower of Shard... despite his quirks.

Astral Travel

Astral Travel is an ability that allows Moon Mages to enter and navigate the Astral Plane, allowing them to bridge massive distances on the Plane of Abiding in almost no time. The ability is dangerous and often fatal and was only recently made possible by the invention of the Naming Ritual, which is used on Grazhir shards to imprint them with a magical pattern of its name which allows a mage to use it as an anchor.

Lesser Guild Abilities

Time Sense

The ability for a Moon Mage to tell the time of day even when they cannot see the sky due to affinity to the moons and celestial bodies.

The ability to trace a Locate back to the caster and his/her location.

Align

A Moon Mages ability to align themselves with one of Elanthia's moons and cause spells depending on specific moons to be targeted to auto target the aligned moon. Once a mage has unlocked the secret to Astral Travel the moon Grazhir can be aligned to. This can also be used to align the mage to certain skills when predicting.
