Realm of Twilight (RPG)



The Realm of Twilight, or Twilight Realm, also known as the Moon and the land where the sun never sets is a large celestial body orbiting the planet of Hyrule. It is a major location in the Gerudo Wars and The Legend of Zelda: Time's Menagerie.

Overview
A subject to both religious motifs and scientific study, the Moon is a celestial body orbiting the planet of Hyrule. It is roughly one quarter of its size and mass, but proportionally far away from it that is appears the same size as the Sun from Hyrule, allowing for the Sun to be covered up in a semi-rare event known as the eclipse.

The Moon undergoes eight lunations within one year. These lunations are regular and consistent with the flow of seasons in Hyrule, resulting in many callendars, including the common Hylian one, using the zeniths of these lunations to mark new months.

In many mythologies, the moon is associated or outright represented by a moon god or goddess, often paired with a solar deity.

Geography
While the Moon does support life, the vast majority of it is completely barren, consisting of dusty deserts filled with craters. This makes the Moon appear completely lifeless from Hyrule. The only habitat on the Moon capable of hosting life is present on its north pole. The exact reason for this is unknown, though it is assumed to be supernatural or divine in nature.

Due to the only habitable place on the Moon being the north polar area, life on the celestial body does not experience day and night cycles, and is subject to an eternal state of "twilight". The area is host to a variety of flora and fauna who derive energy from the limited sunlight and underground chemical activities, the latter being more common and prolific. Native flora and fauna is consequently highly sensitive to the bright sunlight experienced by life from Hyrule.
