The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the name given to a number of large gems that were cut from the same nine-foot-long [[Merca#Religion|Moonmaiden Crystal]] meteorite which crashed into central [[Pteris]] during 180 [[BR]]. The Splinters were separated over time and distributed across the realm, being coveted for their arcane amplifying properties. The most well-known Selune Splinter belonged to the [[Jadenhill#Court of Quartz|Court of Quartz]] in [[Jadenhill]], until it fell into possession of the [[Sardior#Ruby Court|Ruby Court]] and transformed into the '''Emerald Splinter'''. | |||

Each Selune Splinter is | Each Selune Splinter is expertly cut in order to help enhance magic that is refracted through them. Despite being quite large and bulky, they are remarkably lightweight and most people would have little issue carrying one around in their arms. Another strange attribute is that they can be stood upright on their pointed end without falling over and will even return to this position when jostled. They glow with a silvery light whenever the moon is up, even when not in contact with moonlight. | ||

Physical contact with the large, glowing meteorite caused the party to experience visions of Selune, so they chose to take it back with them on their desert ship. The eventual fate of the meteorite was left open-ended, except that it was brought back to [[Brightwater]] with the rest of the party's haul and later [[Merca]] for the Equinox Great Opening celebration. | ||
