The Lore of LUNA – Isle of Grimm

            The tale of the Two Brothers… It’s a rather old tale, to be sure, and a pretty vague one at that. The God of Light created all good things, like nature, while the God of Darkness created all bad things, like Grimm. Every day, more and more good things are created by humans… medicine, scientific advancements, and the like. But have you ever thought of how far the God of Darkness went in creating the Grimm? Perhaps some early cultures have gotten close to seeing the true extent of his darkness.

            North of the border between Vacuo and Vale, there is a sea cornered above and below by continents. Many of the ancient people surrounding this sea have legends that tell of something called the “Isle of Grimm”. Some say it is an island full of Grimm never before seen in the rest of Remnant, crawling with insects, reptiles, and beasts of every kind. When lost sailors happen upon it and manage to escape, they can never seem to find it again… if they do make it out alive. Its bordering reefs are said to be infested with aquatic Grimm: giant crabs, cephalopods, carnivorous fishes and serpents, and the like. It’s said that any man that sets foot on the black sand of this island is consumed by darkness and becomes a humanoid Grimm, loses their memory, and attacks other humans. Of course, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found by conventional means, but others offer a more interesting hypothesis in their tales and folklore.

    They say that the entire island itself is a Grimm, a titanic sea turtle, drifting slowly across the sea. They claim that this turtle, which they have aptly named in their language what translates to “Lord of Tides”, is under the command of a General of the Grimm, something they call the Master of Chaos, the “MoonCrawler”. This supposed shape-shifting descendant of the God of Darkness makes the Lord of Tides submerge and surface as it pleases, creating the tides and waves. From the turtle’s shell the MoonCrawler grows and harvests strange black vegetation from which seeps a black blood; the life fluid from where all Grimm are born. As the black blood seeps into the ocean currents, it spreads across the world, infesting lands far beyond the reach of the Lord of Tides or the MoonCrawler. Thus we have yet another origin legend for the Creatures of Grimm. That is how it is said the God of Darkness chose to create Grimm; by slowly poisoning his brother’s world.

    It’s been centuries since anyone has claimed to have seen the Isle of Grimm with their own eyes. That, in itself, is a fallacy if you take their accounts for fact, because some reports say that even looking at the MoonCrawler drives a person to the brink of insanity. However, another myth has brought it back to light. A relatively recent myth from Vale suggests that the island is more than just a seed of all the Grimm in the world, but the “Casket of Creation; the resting place of one of the Gods’ gifts to humanity, the Relic of Creation. Is the Relic hidden in the belly of the beast, buried deep beneath the travelling insurmountable fortress of Grimm? Maybe not. I, for one, know that this “myth” is an absolute lie, created by the founder of the Huntsmen academies to throw anyone after the Relic off their track. Smart man, that Ozpin. The real Relic of Creation is hidden in Atlas… but the myth of the Isle of Grimm remains. And the fact that the Relic of Creation exists makes me wonder if the Master of Chaos truly does exist… and what form it takes now.

    Gods, Relics, the Master of Chaos… Anything is possible in the world of Remnant.
