Hearth (Moon)

Description

Hearth, known predominantly by the collective peoples of Haven as "the Moon," is a plane of the Mavimyst known for its rocky, white barren surface. Located around two hundred and thirty thousand kilometers away from Haven, it orbits around the planet, acting as a secondary plane to it. Appearing like a massive, ghostly white, black, and grey sphere in the planet's sky, Hearth is perhaps the single-most ubiquitous fixture in all of world history, as nearly every individual who has ever lived has laid eyes upon the Moon shining in the night sky. It appears in nearly all world mythologies and religions, as well as being depicted in countless forms of art, cultural practices, and even within world language.

Despite its existence being tied to that of Haven, the world itself couldn't be any more different than the planet below. Whereas Haven is a lush, verdant paradise of life, Hearth's surface is largely a desolate wasteland of lifeless rock, lacking any form of sky, and instead, only the vast starline of the Mavimyst, and an imposing view of Haven can be seen.

Throughout recorded history, and even long before it, Hearth has been visited by many Havenborne inhabitants, using various magical methods to achieve this feat. Perhaps the most notable of these was the Edian Empire, who at the height of their power held several enclaves across its surface, before they would ultimately collapse following the Curse of Mortality.
