Hi everyone~! Konoka here!
[ Konoka waves. She appears to be talking from her house, sitting on a kotatsu. Keen eyes might see she's wearing a familiar pink collar given to her by Marie. ]
It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? I'm sure some of you will think that's an understatement, and I'm sure it is, but I'm trying to be polite here! But anyway, I wanted to bring some attention to what's been going on in Lunatia that has involved us, the Moonblessed. Past incidents, and people's reactions to them, made me think that there hasn't been a good summary available to everyone on what's happening so far. I wonder if, by compiling everything that's gone on that's connected to us Moonblessed, we could give those who are new here a primer on catching up to our situation!
So, I think we'll have to start from the beginning. Listening to me talk about this might be a little boring, so I've attached the summary as a document. Please feel free to add to it and edit it!
[ Konoka has attached a document compiling all of her notes on the big events that have happened to the Moonblessed around. It's not everything, but it's a summary of the most important thing, as well as other details she noticed in her time here. ]
---
Once upon a time, Lunatia was a thriving planet, as far as we know.
But a harsh disaster known as the Calamity struck, brought about by the one known as Basti. He was eventually stopped by the forces that we currently know as the Moon Knights. However, his influence is still felt to this day. For instance, a lot of the history that existed before this Calamity had been wiped away.
The surviving Lunatians, as well as other scattered beings around the world, began to try and rebuild. They seem to have made a living fighting off dangerous monsters that rose about after the wake of the Calamity. Eventually, Lunatia as it exists today was born.
A little more than a year ago, people started waking up on a crystallized moon. Those people being us, the Moonblessed. Thought to be a new species, the Lunatians gave us shelter. But oddly enough, we proved special through the production of something called Chroma. It's a purer energy source than the ones they use here, and it helps bring life to the decaying world around us… somehow.
I hear there was an Encircling Ceremony that was held close to this time last year. That had been the thing that had convinced the government that the Moonblessed were special, since our Chroma made the Encircling a massive success.
In the fifth month, around the time I showed up, the Lunatian government went digging through an Iris Moon locale called The Glory. Within it contained some old documents that will prove very important to recent developments… but I'll get to that later.
The great dragon Drastellus XIII sent envoys to request we help with the dragon's eggs. Once we did, we got one of our current Exalted blessings, the ability to become dragons. It happened agnostically the following month, but around October it was a Sanguis blessing.
The foxes from Amegahara paid a visit to us a couple of months later. They showered us with a lot of attention, but that wound up also calling to attention the Oracle of the Sinless, a fox-run cult who hoped to sacrifice us to their god. Naturally, not only were they stopped, but their god, Vulpus Astra, granted us his exalted blessing without any sacrifice. But it won't be the last we've seen of them, as I'll get to later. In the end, as apology, the foxes asked some of us to travel to their hometown. We didn't learn anything new from them, unfortunately.
The digging we did earlier that year wound up stirring an old goddess known as Tempeste. She and her Vierge Jellies attempted to take over, but we wound up defeating her. Apparently she was graceful enough to bestow upon us an exalted moon blessing. All three of these exalted blessings manifested some time in the following month.
So remember the stuff we went digging for? There were several scrolls in there! Each of them showed off some form of symbological or literal beast: illustrations of a three-headed dragon, a giant boar wearing a crown, a seraphim clad in a lion mask, a naked woman covered in snakes, a basilisk skewered by multiple boat masts, a sleeping one-eyed giant, and a beautiful satyr with flowing, flaxen locks. We've seen the seraphim, Majestas, and three headed dragon, shown as Tarn's symbol. (Konoka sniffed. Why did Tarn have to turn out to be such a jerk?)
This was also the time of year where spooky stuff happened, but jury's out if Ainfeil Feast is connected to history. However, we believe Ainfeil was one of the beasts referenced in the documents! The Prismals wear boar masks with crowns when celebrating the October stuff last year!
There was a sinister man named Asmodeus, who used a certain forbidden magic to control people like dolls. He believed he would remake the planet with his "preferred children". To date, nobody knows how he actually got his hands on that magic.
At the beginning of this year, a strange magic struck everyone participating (or close enough to) in the League Match Action Online VR game. Apparently, reacting to our Chroma, King Majestas freed himself that way. He would go on to terrorize the city with lion golems, blow up a town, and eventually try and leech chroma off of us to revive his queen. We defeated him, but he claims to have succeeded before dying completely. It's not known if the queen he speaks of is one of the people referred to in the documents, but I suspect that might be true.
And that big statue in the archives, Osse, is actually an ancient robot from Vierge! She was said to have been activated by our Chroma. It's made the Lunatian researchers wonder if we're the key to saving the planet…
The BSTB turned out to be people connected to Oracle of the Sinless, if not a separate sect of the cult. It seems the cult had formed due to the bad state of the world, but two of them have decided to renounce their evil ways upon seeing the efforts we've made.
It looks like all of our moonlacing is paying off! Lately, a sudden burst of life has appeared in the Nothing, around the time the Inari highway got completed. We managed to get permanent access to Amegahara! It's a neat place you should pay a visit if you haven't already. We were asked to help keep the frail ecosystem alive, and our efforts seem to work so far! It didn't come without problems though. A lot of mythical beasts, giant bees, and troublemakers swarmed us and the plants, so we had to catch them with these "beast cubes" and send them on their way.
In our equivalent of June, the original dragon queen Lystella woke up! She spent the month resting, so we couldn't question her about stuff. But we did manage to get into some ruins, showing the history of how Basti defeated her in battle. We've also learned that Majestas had a lover called Lunae.
Vulpus Astra celebration turned out to be pretty big this year, because it was inter-city. Our efforts have been slowly restoring the planet, so being able to travel between the three cities is now easier than before. The biggest part of the celebration came from Lystellius herself, who apparently went on a secret mission and revived one of the great leaders himself, Vulpus! He told us that the Calamity that hit so many years ago was done by seven beasts of Calamity, of which King Majestas was one of them. He also told us he could show us a glimpse of home, but that was only Dimension X, which was way too much like Cosmo Entelecheia for my tastes.
Queen Tempeste wound up picking a second fight with us, convinced that we were part of the Calamity Parthenon for some reason...? But we're not! Vulpus managed to snap her out of it... after we wound up having to fight all of her creatures in giant mechs. Yes, that actually happened. Thankfully, she was no longer hostile, and we got an explanation of the seven beasts of Calamity that caused the destruction of the planet!
Majestas - Pride - Mr. Lion Face, who we beat earlier this year.
Basti - Wrath - The three-headed dragon who we originally believed to be the ringleader. We've been hearing all about him.
Lunae - Lust - For some reason the Vierge guys remember her as a centaur, but she's a Satyr! Majestas did something to revive her.
Ainfeil - Gluttony - The Prismals base their Halloween celebrations on this guy? Oh dear. The giant boar with the crown.
Aradana - Greed - She has... a lot of snakes. The naked woman covered in snakes.
Nakash - Envy - The only one we haven't seen head nor hide of outside of mentions in the library. The one skewered by a hundred boat masts.
Aracht - Sloth - Seems he's has his eye on us now. More on that in a bit. The one-eyed Cyclops.
And the most recent thing to happen was some dream chaos. A few of you remember those pixies that play with your desires, right? Turns out they're dream fae, and they were being attacked by a nightmarish being called the Dreameater. Turns out that Dreameater was made by none other than Aracht. He escaped, but we will meet him again, I bet.
---
Long story short, we're somehow reviving the planet and a bunch of greedy troublemakers will be following us shortly, so let's prepare! I hope this might be helpful in some way of summing up the saga of the Moonblessed, and hopefully prepare better for the future! If you've got any questions on it, I'll try to answer, to the best of my ability!

I just had some memories pop up at random, is all.
[ Did she do something? Konoka hoped she wasn't! Opting not to let ai worry, she gives a much more reassuring smile. ]
Sometimes even I need a reminder of what we're fighting for. Or in my case, what I'm healing for.
no subject
Healer...?

[ Konoka's answer feels guarded. Did she... just do the same thing Mai did to her by accident? ]

I know we miss people at home, don't we?
no subject
Mm. But they'll be safe. ...Why?
no subject
[ Did she misread that smaller reaction? Oh well. ]
Sorry. You're right. It's good to know they're safe at home. I guess I just remembered some fond memories with them, is all.

[ Konoka suddenly doesn't feel totally sure she's kind for thinking about others. But she also doesn't want to dwell on it. ]
Mostly, I'm just doing what I can.

Right. And make friends. To not die.

That's important to me too, because if I'm dead then I can't heal people.
