Lorwyn / Shadowmoor

SHAPED BY THE GREAT AURORA

Instead of a usual day and night cycle, the plane known as both Lorwyn and Shadowmoor is one that exists in one of two phases for 300 years at a time. The plane of Lorwyn is one of eternal midsummer and day inspired by classic European fairytales, where almost all beings and bright and playful. In contrast, the plane it becomes after The Great Aurora, Shadowmoor, is one of eternal dusk and finds the denizens of the plane transformed into twisted versions of themselves filled with malice and hatred. Lorwyn and Shadowmoor share mostly the same topographic and populous traits,  including being one of the few human-less planes in the multiverse. Beautiful elves, stalwart kithkin, bumbling giants, tricky faeries, rambunctious boggarts, passionate flamekin, and erudite merfolk make up the majority of the plane’s life. However, there are other creatures, such as the ever-shifting changelings, the bizarre and conceptual elementals, and dormant beasts like dragons and great demon-hounds that only emerge during Shadowmoor’s cycle.
