Given what is said in this article, it looks like Grazhir is Gemstone's Liabo moon. Or is there some other moon in GS that they are referencing that is also a silvery-white? Having played a character up to cap in GS, I'd be surprised if there was one. Renian 22:51, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

This is what is known as an easter egg. Grazhir is not, in fact, Liabo. It may be pure coincidence, or it may be an OOC nod to the GS community, but there's no lore-based connection between the two moons.--Symphaena 03:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't think I ever would have marked it as an easter egg myself. Dragonrealms is a spin-off of Gemstone, has Glaes, has mirroring towns (The Crossing is like Wehnimer's Landing, Riverhaven could be like River's Rest, etc), has nearly-mechanically identical spells/abilities in some cases (such as Warrior Mage Familiars = Wizard Familiars), has the same world name, has the Dragonspine Mountains, each game has 4 moons...and that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I don't think it's coincidence. Some might be (i.e., Dragonspine might just have always been a cool name for mountains), but I remember in an IRC log Melissa Meyer, former PM of both HJ and GS, stating that they were trying to figure out where they wanted to set Hero's Journey into the timeline of Elanthia, and were considering putting it inbetween the games.
Though I will admit, it's not Liabo. On further inspection, it's Makiri. I forgot about the color changes of the moons.Renian 06:05, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
