Luna, Sol's younger sister also hails from the province of Yipinalke. Luna was born with no discernible elemental gifts therefore her parents were apathetic towards her. She received sword training from the family Master-at-Arms and sparred often with Sol. She would become very proficient with both a short and long blade, besting even her elder sister. Upon turning 15 Luna realized she would gain no prestige remaining under her parents and in Sol's shadow. She took whatever she could carry and deserted her homeland of Beluaterra for The East Continent. Luna can be described as a women with an average build, standing around 5' 6". Luna's hair is as dark as a ravens feathers and her eyes are as bright as a full blue moon.

Luna's current estate is The Grey University of Karbala.

Luna's Diary

Luna found herself in the realm of Shadowdale upon arriving on The East Continent, with the ship docking at the Royal Port of the Twilight in Karbala. Having little knowledge of this new land, Lady Tempest would remain near Karbala for the next two years. Her passion of knowledge and history kept her anchored to the District of Letters with its renowned universities and libraries. Luna found herself doing research and scribe work for varying professors to make her way in this unbeknownst land. One professor would be so pleased with her research work he would provide Luna a room within the Grey University, making her work and studies more convenient. As time passed Lady Tempest would attend many lectures and seminars to expand her knowledge. History and cartography would become her greatest subjects, even assisting her professors prepare various lectures for other students.

Luna, now seventeen, was regarded by her professors as an excellent student and patron of The Grey University. She would submit a study to the Chancellor of the University on modern methods of cartography with the hopes of becoming a professor despite her young age. The Chancellor would however draw her to the attention of Shadow King, Lindow Moonsun. The Shadow King had heard varying things about the young noble who was working and studying at the university most notable that Lady Tempest was skilled with more than just a pen.

When the Chancellor arranged a meeting between Lindow Moonsun and Luna Tempest the Shadow King would call for her sword and her fealty. With a campaign rising in the south she would prove more useful as a knight than an academic. Despite Luna’s lack of experience in battle and leading she did not hesitate to answer his call. Lady Tempest could never refuse the man who had founded The Grey University, the only place she now regarded as home. She swore her allegiance in perpetuity to the Shadow King as her new liege. Lady Luna Tempest would be proclaimed a Dame of Karbala and a new recruit in the Shadow Legion. She would still call the University her home however no longer a student, but a Knight preparing for war.

Luna would take to Karbala to prepare for the coming campaign, visiting a renowned smith on Royal Street to outfit herself. With only a modest amount of gold she invested most in an brilliantly crafted long sword, leaving the remaining for some typical hardened leather armour. Lady Tempest would also recruit a small unit of archers promising them riches and glory in the coming campaign to solicit their aid. She would dub her new unit Tempest Rangers for their arrows that will unleash the fury of the tempest. With her new equipment and men Luna would set out to rally in Akesh Temple and regroup with the rest of the Shadow Legion.

Luna's Tempest Rangers

The Tempest Rangers are a small unit of archers under Luna's command. What they lack in numbers they make up for in accuracy and bravery. They accompanied their Lady during the Northern Alliance's Invasion of Perdan. The unit was present for both 17th Bloodbath in Brive and the Valentines Day Siege of Partora. The rangers suffered heavy casualties during the former however endured with no injuries in the latter.

Upon returning to Karbala after the short campaign Lady Tempest recruited some Aurellian Longbowmen to replenish the men lost and bring the unit to a respectable size.

The unit is still without a captain, opting to follow Lady Tempest's orders directly.
