Writer’s Need-to-Know

What is MoonShadow?

MoonShadow is a fictional setting for a vast Fantasy/SciFi project created by Jack Lhasa(hey, that's me!) . More on this later, in another post, probably. David Cunningham joined the team(two of us), in the Summer of 2025. Since then, a lot of the hard details have been nailed down. A lot of the world has been built. And now, we are mostly trying to cement more with stories of all different sizes, and art.

I knew when I set out with this project that I wanted collaborators. Lots and lots. While we've wrestled with what is okay, and what is not. What goes here, and not there. All those sorts of things. We're hoping to get more collaboration soon. That brings me round to why I'm putting this stuff here, on Wrizzit. The platform's natural focus on collaboration, along with the different types of collabs could give us the leverage needed to make that happen. We've still got a few months of other stuff, but I'll be loading up MoonShadow base information as we go..

Say hello to Kaelith

Kaelith is a bright student who is nearing the end of her time at the Lower Academy. She's two years ahead of most of her peers, which is rarely allowed. Her professors, friends, family, they all say she should sign up for the Academy for High Magic, or the Arcane Academy. That would mean another three to five years as a student, though. The education was said to be very different there; tailored to each student. Very difficult. Few applied for entry. Fewer still were granted the title of Master Magician. Those who are... well, they are the ones who determine the future of everyone..

In her final year at the Lower Academy, Kaelith applied, and was accepted to the Amateur Dueling League. With three wins, she advanced to the Pro League. Her first Pro League bout was set for two weeks after her graduation from the Lower Academy. She kept telling herself that she would decide on the High Academy, depending on the fight's outcome.

Epilogue

Kaelith's story has been carved down to only the essential details for this post. Full fiction featuring this young duelist will be coming. I'm still hoping to set up the world a bit more here. It takes a lot to create a completely alien world.

Final Thoughts.

MoonShadow is a world still in development. As such, many ideas are in flux, and may change. So, treat this setting as a bit of a sandbox when you write. Take the very few rules laid out, and then show us what you got!

That’s it for now.
