The [[Bloodmoon]] fruit native to the lush forested regions of the Raviel island area is a type of tree that is quite common and frequently used by native Dwili as a mild intoxicant and energy enhancer. It wasn't until the arrival of the eastern Nobles and the foundation of the more technically advanced civilizations that advanced cultivation techniques were used to refine the Bloodmoon fruit in its potency. For as long as man has roamed the central area of the land of Dwilight the drug in its milder form has been used in conjunction with certain celestial changes. A common sympton or side effect of taking the potent form of Bloodmoon is hallucinations that usually involve the Bloodstars  which physically lie in the western sky. Some have attributed the fruit and star effect symbiosis to mans connection with nature and with the universe. Some have suggested that Bloodmoon and its effects are symbiosis with the changes of the Bloodstars, just as the moon will react and change the tides in the ocean, the same pull will result on mankind when his mind is sufficiently cleaned and clear to be influenced by the Bloodstars. Others merely point to a form of brainwashing and or susceptibility of suggestion while under its effects and the Sanguis Astroism Bloodstars connection is merely because of the influence the religion held over the island group area being one of the largest religions to have passed through that area on its way to Terran during the initial colonial period of the Western continent.

the cult of Bloodmoon and clarification.

The island of Raviel and the city of Port Raviel have been populated for ages. The original primitive inhabitants of the island who lived on the beaches and fringes around the abandoned city were known to eat an indigenous fruit that came from a certain palm, wrapped in a leaf and combined with a lime paste when eaten the fruit or nut of the tree would create either a mild hallucinogenic state or complete temporary madness. When eaten in large amounts the future and past could both be seen but as if through a distorted mirror. The fruit was known as the Bloodmoon fruit as when ripe upon the palm it was red in color and the size of a plum. When chewed it would stain the lips. It was usually eaten on a full moon before an important event or festival. King Glaumring Apasurain was the first to introduce the Bloodmoon to the eastern continent when he formed the kingdom of Thulsoma. His people still use it on occasion to learn new art or musical skills. And in rare times it will open the gateways of the mind and prophecy will spill forth from the mouth. Sometimes as gibberish and other times as visions.


To this day there only a handful of people in the Dwilight world nobility to have professed to have used or experimented with Bloodmoon. There are even fewer who use it for religious ceremony. It remains in use for a fringe of Bloodmoon spirit world travellers and the lesser peasant groups of Dwilight. It still remains a mystery to many outside of Ravielian aboriginal groups. And is only very loosely connected to the church of Sanguis Astroism.
