[Cosmos] Item - Moon Shard (Patreon)

A dim glow emanates from the dagger in your hand. Upon closer inspection, you don't find an enchanted light orb, but an actual moon, magically suspended inside this blade. Whatever this is, it is the result of very powerful magic...

This is one of a pair of legendary weapons known as the Sun and Moon Shards. Once I finished the Sun Shard, I knew exactly what the Moon Shard was going to look like. (Fun Fact: It was originally going to be a chunk of moonrock)

There's a great deal of open-ended lore surrounding these weapons:

Who is this ancient race that could manipulate the very fabric of the universe?

What happens if one person were to wield both Shards at the same time?

Whatever happened to the sun and moon that were taken from their orbits?
