Quidlivun
Realm of Tarqeq, the Land of the Moon
Location: Outlands / Hinterlands and Mount Celestia / Lunia
Tarqeq dwells in the sky over the Frozen Reaches, in an even higher-altitude realm that of the Air Spirit, called Quidlivun. When night comes to the Adlivun, Tarqeq’s moon-like realm can be seen glowing overhead, casting an eerie silver light over the ice floes. Souls are purified in Adlivun, in preparation for the travel to Tarqeq’s Land of the Moon where they find eternal rest and peace. Those who suffered repeated tragedy and hardship while they lived and those who lived exemplary, virtuous lives among the Inuit get to reside in this lunar paradise. In Quidlivun, Tarqeq dwells in a spectacular igloo, from which he emerges each night to chase his sister Malina the Sun across the firmament.Â
Quidlivun is located on Lunia, the first layer of Mount Celestia, although it’s usually reached via the Hinterlands. The glowing moon that appears in the sky of Adlivun is actually a reflection of Tarqeq’s igloo. Souls judged worthy are carried by a flock of snow eagles from the icy wastes of Adlivun all the way up to the ‘moon’, where there is a gate to Mount Celestia that opens only at night.
