So did the Empyrians escape to the moon?



Asked: 2000.11.22
Name: Misfit Opheles
Question Title: So did the Empyrians escape to the moon?
Category: Backstory
Question: From what I can tell, given the hints dropped subtly throughout the lore additions, it would seem that the moon is where the Empyrians escaped to, building a city there which we can see as a series of lights there.
example: "I look forward to seeing him (referring to Atlan), even should I not know him, when the watchful stars turn round once more" - the words of Maila, referring to hoping to see Atlan again after the departure.
When she says "when the stars turn around" is she referring to her future point of reference, seeing the stars, seemingly reversed, as she looks down on Dereth from below?

Answer: Nope, sorry. No Empyreans on the moon.

Maila is referring to something else in her letter. You'll be able to figure out what if you study the sentence religiously.
