Myr

Myr is a cool forest moon of misted valleys, deep lakes, and mountain watersheds under continuous living cover. Seventy million people occupy natural clearings, lakeshores, and carefully managed forest regions, leaving remarkably little surface lighting visible from orbit. Some stands have grown for thousands of years and support life found nowhere else.

The moon exports botanical compounds, medicines, fibers, cultivated woods, and biological knowledge, especially to Ilyra’s medical institutions. It does not treat those exports as a reason to maximize extraction. Ports, roads, clearings, and harvests remain limited because the forest regulates water, climate, and the conditions that make the trade possible.

Authority rests with the watershed councils called the Weir, seated at Lethwyn under a Harbormaster. A council rarely refuses a proposal outright. It grants the request and assigns a date according to the health of what would be disturbed, then moves that date when the forest supplies another reason. On Myr, a lawful postponement can preserve a stand more effectively than a ban.

Gloam practice keeps paths, memory, and vulnerable places concealed within living systems. Summoners reveal temporary routes through country that resists permanent mapping, while Dawn practitioners work in cultivation, medicine, and ecological restoration. Practice remains subordinate to stewardship: revealing a path does not authorize a road.

Myr is sovereign and protects Elowen by covenant without administering it. Its limitation is the same discipline that gives it value. The Weir can keep forests intact and supply scarce knowledge, but it cannot expand output quickly without consuming the systems from which that authority comes.
