Ep9: Traxzin and the Blood Moon
At Beryl’s Café The Librarian introduces us to the sweet sweet drink of Staxxparilla. It brings memories of the great nation of Staxxis. We set sail on a story based in Traxzin: the nation's glittering capital, the City of Souls and the homeland of Gorel, Touv, and the great Astronomers.
Our friends have been sent here by the Maven at Duna Din as something is brewing. An evil is coming and the presence of positivity is needed more than ever.
In Traxzin, the Festival of the Blood Moon – the greatest celestial show in the world - is approaching, and the city is preparing for an almighty celebration around the giant crystal shard which rises up from the ground in the middle of the coliseum.
Before the night of the festival, Splott, Colin, Jansey, Gorel, Doggy and the Sassy Lighthouse Keeper are greeted by Touv who has travelled all the way back from Moonkarta to meet them. He invites them to explore the great city and have fun, however in a place built on learning, and science and order, the team get caught up in a serious diplomatic issue.
Should Gorel have ever left her Astronomer father Touv in Moonkarta, thus breaking her protectorate oath? Are Jansey’s visions of a great battle in the city of Traxzin really a true vision of things to come or just a strange dream?
That night, as the Blood Moon flits between the clouds, and the city rejoices with music and song around the giant crystal shard, somewhere in the distance, from the city harbour, a war siren rings out, signaling the arrival of something terrible.
