[*]Description: Moenia is an old and large city known for its architectural beauty and artistic populace. Surrounded by the Paitnnu Wetlands, the city is a true masterpiece of a city. Moenia is known to be an artists' retreat. Many authors, musicians, and artists have found their home in this city and have contributed to its greatness impeccably. The city itself is filled with towering homes, museums, theaters, and other venues. Each building was clearly carefully constructed by brilliant architects and artists. Throughout the city, there is an misty gloom that varies in thickness throughout the day, ranging from a light mist to a thick fog. Almost all of the inhabitants have grown to live with it. It is this mist that has made Moenia a host of the Galactic Moon Festival.
Recently, the city has grown even more alive with activity as certain individuals, thanks to the efforts of [member="Djonas Vile"] in bringing the city into the limelight with his own contributions and contacts, have contributed to the welfare and rejuvenation of the city. Moenia has never been such a paradise before.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Moenia's history is rather light with activity. The city mostly stayed to itself and was mostly ignored by the larger events of the galaxy. In the time of the Galactic Empire, Moenia was left alone as it was only seen as an artists retreat. Meanwhile, the citizens were plotting against the Empire and siding with the Rebellion lowkey. Moenia's contributions to the Rebellion weren't much, but it was better than not at all.
The Gulag Virus hit Moenia rather hard, infecting almost half of the population. Those who were infected were placed in quarantine in the city and the rest were forced to leave their friends and family behind as the city was evacuated. One by one, the infected fell to the plague. After initial reports of the last of the infected perishing, the citizens began returning to their homes to bury the dead, albeit while safely protected by enviro-suits.
During the 400 Year Darkness, Moenia began to rebuild their city. Many great minds were lost, but plenty of them still lived. They continued with their daily lives while protected by their suits. For centuries, the people of Moenia refused to be held back by a epidemic. Their pride and ambition was far too strong for that.
With the Gulag Virus subsided after centuries of death, Moenia began to thrive once more. The artists retreat began to attract more and more to the beautiful, yet gloomy city.
