A weapon of uncertain origin. First appearing some time around the 1st era after a young Moth Priest had received a strange vision of a blade falling from the sky, surrounded by moths and emitting a pale glow reminiscent of the moonlight of Nirn's twin moons Masser and Secunda. 

Generations later upon the discovery of the Ancestor Glade it was found. Embedded in the Cantical Tree in the heart of the glade, The Crescent Moon has awaited for one worthy to retrieve it from the holy site.

The moth priests debated on the origin of the blade, why it had refused to budge, how long had it been there, who made it? 
Some speculated it may have a connection to Shezarr as the dead god's body is believed to be what the moons were formed from, and that the Shezarine Pelinal was recorded to have had command over moths to some extent, Others saying Dibella who was known as the Moth of the Old Atmoran animal totem pantheon, or Junhal/Julianos who the moth priests serve due to it being found in their holy site.

But it seems to have some form of connection to the Aedra at the very least.

And now your dragonborn can wield this mysterious Aedric (?) Blade.

Crafting: Can be upgraded using the Arcane Smithing perk to access the Bloodmoon corrupted version, and Frostmoon Enhanced version.  Both having unique appearances and enchantments. 

Versions:

Crescent Moon: An unenchanted blade, emitting a pale moonlike glow, seemingly of vaguely Aedric origin. 

Crescent Bloodmoon: One of the upgraded versions of the Crescent Moon, Corrupted in a ritual where the holy blade was drenched in the blood of daedra, the veins buldge with fresh vitae and thirst for more. As the moon rises its true power awakens. (Enchantment: Absorb Health + Magic Damage bonus at night)

Crescent Frostmoon: The second upgraded form of the Crescent Moon: Reminiscent of the moonlight off the coast of old Atmora, Frost now creeps across the length of the blade. Sailors who survived upon ships adrift in the sea of ghosts would claim that the very moons turned to the colors of stalhrim as they drifted too close to the frozen wastes of atmora. ( Enchantment: Frost Damage + Bonus magic damage at Night)


Location: Can be found in the Ancestor Glade the home of the Ancestor Moths, blade embedded into the trunk of the Cantical Tree.

Balanced for the later game, with higher reach and more damage than a normal glass sword, Upgraded more using the Glass Smithing perk.

Enchantment: None (I could not decide, on a unique effect and the Lunar weapon enchantments is..... something.....)

Suggestions: Since its a sword, just use whatever sword animations you like the most. As for outfits outfits with White, Silver, or Black might play well. One example being the white tribunal robes from the Immersive Armors Mod.

2K textures by Default, 1k and 4k textures in optional files.
