Selene Cliffs Wiki

Carved into the side of all of the cliff faces of Luna Valley are the cave dweller homes of the Selene Cliffs. Nearly all belong to bird families that enjoy it for its central location and year round views with great winds. Like most "permanent" settlements in the Luna Valley many carved homes are generational, while others are transient nests by default used by migratory families or travelers. Many ladders and pulleys stretch along the cliffs for visitors. Often the homes are adorned with windchimes or colorful nest decor (as birds tend to do). During the fall holidays everyone hangs silver bells outside, making a magical sound through the whole valley. It is said that when the bells chime from the winds outside, your loved one is visiting home once more.

As the birds of Mycorzha live naturally a mix of both nomadic and permanent residential life many roost their home here and travel as they wish by flight. It is not uncommon for nests to be empty for a seasonal harvest when the tea leaves ripen in the southern Hazelmoss woods. The different perspective of the Isles allows the bird to travel past the Crescent Mountain range while other cannot, so many have ventured far enough north to see the Frostfire forest and have witnessed some of the strange things that live in those woods (although never up close, everyone knows landing to the north is a death wish). Distant views of strange monsters gave way to stories over time and the birds gossiped amongst themselves until the stories became an extensive religious pantheon that nearly all birds of the Isles follow. Carvings of the many gods the birds pray to are found throughout the cliff faces, and nearly every home has a dedicated shrine to the deity of their given house that is adorned with fruit and flowers.
