The Moon-Star family tree in my D&D campaign world


An important event happened at the creation of my D&D campaign world, a variant of the world of Toril otherwise known as the Forgotten Realms.  A Celestial and an adult Silver Dragon fell in love and then had a child that over many years became Lord Apex, the God of good dragons.  Over many centuries, Lord Apex fell in love and then married many mortal women.  Lord Apex said that his children are as beautiful and the Moon and as bright as the Stars.  Thus, he named his family’s last name Moon-Star.

All members of the Moon-Star extended family have trace amounts of Celestial and Silver Dragon in themselves.  This means that if these descendants have light and hope, joy and friendship within their hearts, they have the ability to activate the abilities of that ancestor Celestial (such as Healing Touch) and that ancestor Silver Dragon (such as Detect).  The stronger the descendant becomes, the more of these very special abilities the descendant will earn.

In addition, Lord Apex considers all members of the Moon-Star family as part of his extended family tree.  If politely and respectfully asked, Lord Apex will give what he considers the correct amount of aid and/or apprenticeship to any members of his extended family.
