Noct Moonmere is a Reborn druid of the Circle of Stars, returned from death with moonlight in their veins and a blank space where their true name should be. They move like quiet fog through ruined observatories and sleeping forests, cloak stitched with constellations that only flare when danger draws near. In their hands: an antique brass planisphere with cracked glass, a “map” that sometimes shows the sky as it was, and sometimes as it will be.

Noct speaks softly, as if not to startle fate. Their eyes hold a pale starfield, their forearms marked with shifting star-tattoos that rearrange with each new omen. They are kind, but clinical when afraid, narrating calamity like notes in a logbook.

They adventure to reclaim the missing page of their star journal, expose the thing that raised them, and restore the constellation that once bore their name.
