What is 'Gackling Moon'?

'Gackling Moon' describes The Moonlands, a place at the edge of the imagined world riven with cracked realities and unified by the presence of the crazed and loon Gackling Moon, a moon riven with splinters, each one of which reflects strange light from an imagined sun. As the Gackling Moon waxes and wanes the exact combination of impossible shards revealed by its face changes in proportion so that, for each shape of that moon, a certain kind of magic is bestowed upon those touched by its light.

From the shape-changing nature of the light of a Fine Full Gackling Moon, to the silver-white light of a Ruinous Moon, under which the ghosts of those slain by mortal hands rise and stalk their killers, to the horrors of a Wasp Moon, this wild irregularity forms one of few unifying elements between the cultures of the Moonlands.

From the Asbestos Pilgrims of the Plains of Anaesthetic Fire, to the super-real Painted Plain and its Painted People, to the impossibly recursive Incoherent Isles to the AntiGoblin Empire, arch foes of Goblin Kind who seethe around the experimental Large Goblin Collidor, which occupies a juncture point between the Whetstone Ridge, the Sea of Vermillion, from whence the Wasps Rise from their Red World, the Umber Woods where the PenumBeetles dwell among their strange reality-sustaining magics, and between Owl City, fallen once-capital of the Moonlands, and Narcissolis, the devouring city of glass walls.
