The Pale-eyed Mistress, Kajsha, is the moon that hangs overhead. Stark white except a dark red jagged mark across the lit face, she forever stays locked, staring at the sun above.

Seemingly locked to face the sun, the moon travels around the planet with one side always lit while the other is always shrouded in darkness. An uncommon but not unheard of task for mages of great skill is to make their way to the surface by way of great teleportation. Those that use the right formulas, incantations and arcane matrices can travel to a region colloquially known as Zenith, the centremost point of the High Noon crater, to make their mark upon the grand obelisk at the lowest point. The obelisk towers above, casting no shadow as it aligns directly with the sun while a few scattered buildings of various styles and upkeep stand almost silent nearby. Names scroll slowly up the obelisk, littered with empty spaces, before eventually returning to the bottom and beginning their journey again.

Depending on the cycle some inhabitants can be found here, powerful mages, outsiders and other beings taking temporary residence in the various places nearby. All manner of methods of survival can be employed here with no atmosphere being the most common cause of death for the unprepared who fail to do their research properly, though several heavily eroded monoliths that line the crater suggest some kind of permanent enchantment once provided air to any visitors. Built against the “western”-most edge of the crater lay the remains of a long unkempt dock for spelljammers and other similar ships.

Cutting across the “Eastern” edge where light gives way to shadow through to the “Southern” edge is a dark red mark several kilometres wide. The dusty soil of Kajsha is stained deeply, few have attempted to dig far but no matter how far they go the regolith remains the same shade. The ancient legend of Dhatom and his attempt to save mortals from the madness and terrors of The Restless Foundation speaks of the hero’s blood spattering the moon herself as she descended to empower and guide him when the earth turned against him. Seeing her champion driven to madness enveloped her in grief and her tears are believed to have created a place on the earth as lifeless and barren as she had become.

The lifelessness of Kajsha is seemingly paradoxical with the constant barrage of starlight infusing the place with radiant energy, facilitating faster healing and good health for the limited time people stay there. Rarely people have found small shards that seem to have originated from the moon’s surface, emanating a constant but limited amount of radiant energy. These artifacts are popular amongst eccentrics but serve no useful purpose.

Each lunar cycle there’s a short time where the planet casts it’s shadow across the lit face of the moon, this time is often called the darktide, as it washes across the surface of Kajsha and gives her open eye a brief respite from the light of the sun. Several older texts discourage visitors from making a journey to Zenith during this time though the reason why is not known.

The dark side of Kajsha starts off simply, barren and still like the light side, but gripped with a bitter, inescapable cold. It's not until you march several kilometres into the dark that the nature of the lunar surface changes, starting with wisps of the regolith moving in the airless void, this region is known by most as the Shore, for within a hundred metres the surface turns into a convincing analogue for the seas of the surface below. The fine regolith undulates and crashes like waves driven by an unseen wind. Attempting to cross the "sea" proves difficult, with creatures rapidly sinking and suffocating, while vessels swiftly find themselves deteriorating under the abrasive waves.
