An ongoing wander through another world
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in their own cycle, and each moon is also a goddess, one of five sisters. From the largest and oldest, through the smallest and youngest, they are: Talir, who is pale topaz; Maris, who is bright silver-white; Sanur, who is the green-gold of a cat's eyes; Sahen, who is pale blue-white; and Lirit who is the light purple of wild lilacs.
In the very earliest days of Evanir, they worked together to create a race that was not born but transformed by the mixing of blood with one already of that race. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The goddesses had different goals in mind--one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, to keep them more in tune with nature, so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness.
But, as always, it takes only one person to alter the tone of an entire group and twist it into a new direction... and it takes only one person to rebel, and start something entirely new....
