History[]
Luna Tenebris was born in Xadia at an unknown point in history and mastered the arcanum of the Moon over several years, growing into an Archdragon. 1000 years before the birth of Azymondias, she succeeded Sol Regem as monarch of the dragons.[1] Like the rest of Xadia, Luna Tenebris was aware of the crimes committed by humanity when they had used dark magic to drain the essence of magical creatures for their own gain, which ultimately drove unicorns to extinction. Although she first believed that humanity should be annihilated, she let herself be persuaded by the daughter of an elven leader, instead sparing their lives by banishing the humans to live in the western parts of Xadia, which then led to the continent's division.[2] Inside Xadia, this day became known as "Judgement of the Half-Moon".[3]
The Moonshadow Elves[4] and the Celestial Elves held Luna Tenebris's reign with high regard.[5] At some point, Luna met and befriended the Ice Behemoth Esmeray, who became her loyal and beloved companion.[4] The Order of the Blood Moon was also founded during her reign as the Queen of the Dragons, but it was unclear if she was aware of the cult's existence.[6]
Luna Tenebris's era lasted for 700 years, until she mysteriously died from unknown cause[7] roughly 300 years before the birth of Azymondias.[1] As she had deemed her potential heir as unsuitable to succeed her,[8] her rule was eventually succeeded by Avizandum.[7]
Book Four - Earth[]
Through the Looking Glass[]
Luna Tenebris appears in a flashback when Zubeia retells the history of Aaravos, in which she mentions how Luna Tenebris reigned as the Queen of the Dragons until she faced a mysterious death. Because Luna Tenebris lacked a suitable heir when she died, the other Archdragons such as Avizandum, Rex Igneous, and Domina Profundis, started to fight each other to determine who should ascend as the new King or Queen of the Dragons in her place.
