Moon True Rune

Previous Bearers: Neclord
Current Bearer: Sierra Mikain
Child Runes: Unknown

The Moon Rune which represents compassion and destruction contains one of the greatest curses of all the True Runes - the bearer turns into a vampire and goes on a blood thirsty rampage until the bearer can master the rune. The Rune has only ever known one true bearer, Sierra Mikain. Upon coming in contact with the rune, she went on a killing rampage forcing her to seek refuge within a forest to prevent herself from harming others. As she gained mastery over the rune, the compassion powers of the rune were tapped into and she managed to control her vampiric impulses. Sierra Mikain as the first vampire would later become Coven Mistress of the Blue Moon Village, which she created by turning into vampires those people who had cast their past away and wandered into the forest. She placed the Rune at an altar at the center of the village, and through the powers of the rune, the vampires were able to curb their bloodlust and thrive on the rune's compassion. However, one of the vampires of the village, Neclord, would eventually steal the Rune in a quest for power. This resulted in the vampires in the village having to resort to consuming human blood for survival with the exception of Sierra Mikain, being the original vampire who was free from such fate. Some vampires chose to die while others became renegade vampires preying on humans for survival. These vampires who were influenced by the rune directly are known as runic vampires and are essentially stronger than lesser vampires who are subsequently bitten and transformed by other vampires. Lesser vampires can be destroyed by holy artifacts and are susceptible to sunlight, while runic vampires are immune to these effects and can only be destroyed by the Coven Mistress herself and the power of the Night Rune. Eventually, Sierra Mikain would track down Neclord during the Dunan Unification War; he was attempting to activate the powers of the rune by sacrificing 100 people to it. It is not known, however, what powers this may bring forth. Despite being physically away from Sierra, the rune still recognized Sierra as its true master and Sierra was able to retrieve the rune and bind Neclord's powers with little effort. The rune has remained with Sierra ever since. The name of the rune has had a confusing issue.
