Moonfall is an ancient city, established originally by the Tallis-Shei colonists that migrated from Ishaela, then turned over to the Humans when they felt they could hold their own. Enjoying a population of both Moon Elves and Shalzaarian Humans, with a healthy dose of Half Elves, Moonfall comprises the spiritual heart of the Duchy. The city claims both the title of summer capital and home to the Moonfall Grove at the center of the city. This grove is dedicated to Zorah and acts as a place of worship for people throughout the land.
Because of its rich Elvish heritage, Moonfall also acts as the location of the Tallis-Vyss embassy; the xenophobic Shadow Elves rarely willing to travel elsewhere in the Grand Duchy despite their steadfast alliance. Moonfall is also a rallying point for joint military operations between the Grand Duchy and Kingdom of Vyss against the Draconic Empire of Shalzaar to their north. Because of the heavy military activity in the area, Moonfall has heavily reinforced walls, a large number of the Grand Duke's armies and a garrison of Shadow Elvish airships stationed there.
Because it is also a holy city, every effort possible is made to keep both fighting and large gatherings of soldiers out of the main city and to the barracks located along her outer fortifications. Despite being so close to the fighting in the north, Moonfall itself is relatively peaceful. In the thirty one years the Shalzaarian Border War has been going on, The Shalzaarian Dragons have only flown against the city once and were repelled so forcibly that it is unlikely unless they can muster outside help or gain some kind of advantage, they will attempt to do so again in the foreseeable future.
Moonfall is also known for its vast apple orchards and its sparkling apple wine that is produced by the Grand Duke's royal winery. The apple wine is a particular favorite of Armando's, who insists on having it served with all his meals regardless of what's being served…much to the eternal dismay of the lovely Grand Duchess Isabelle.
