Central hub of the Moons
A tiny rocky moon, smallest bar Red. Populated by dormant Titans guarding an ancient monolith that acts as a conduit for sisters spread across the other moons. The Titans, and their progeny, the Giants, and their progeny, the Dwarves, tolerate no violence on Ephoss itself, but will allow whole armies to pass through.
The only City on Ephoss is Forum, which is also the name of the building housing the congress of diplomats representing each of the recognised peoples of the Moons.

The Titans are colossal creatures, storeys tall, and imbued by Rami with the forces of creation and destruction. Therefore, they are worshipped as Gods, and have, throughout history adopted this mantle. Only one motive unites them: to protect the Monoliths that allow transport between moons. When a monolith is threatened, they awake, and in their anger wipe clean the surface through terrible winds and shattering lights, a rare occurrence as most religions naturally revere the monoliths as sacred. Otherwise, they slumber, and from their dreams they shape and influence the world in order to mimic as best they can Rami’s own great vision.
Born from the dreams of the Titans, the Giants were the first sentient life, but little is truly known about them. It is said that it was the Giants who were given the task to make the moons habitable for less resilient life and were therefore great masters of the elements, and when their job was finished, retired to their great fortresses. However, as the grandchildren of creation, they could not rest without a masterwork for themselves. And so, from their forges came the Dwarves. Giant Fortresses can be found on all moons, but are often built around the slumbering forms of the Titans. Giants are therefore seen as divine protectors and, in the rare cases that their voices are heard by mortal ears, are considered as close to the voices of the Gods as the most sacred and ancient texts.
Any mortal throughout the realms may sometimes be born with the ability to dream as the Titans do, hearing their divine thoughts and desires. Such experiences imbue the child with divine power, giving them a shard of the ability to create or destroy – depending on the dreams of the Titan they are in communion with. Children identified as having such powers are often brought to the Giant’s Fortress of the Titan they share dreams with in order to receive training and meditation close to their patron. Many choose a life of slumber and dreaming amongst the Giants, but others will venture out into the world as prophets and agents of change in the world.
