The Legion of the Incarnate Destiny of the Red Moon Goddess

The expedition of Lewis & Clark was called the Corps of Discovery, so I tried to come up with something similar for the title of the Balazar expedition and the campaign wiki. Various combinations of the synonyms of "corps" and "discovery" failed to produce anything that sounded good to me. So then I riffed off of the idea of "Manifest Destiny" to come up with the Emperor's official title for the expedition:

The Legion of the Incarnate Destiny of the Red Moon Goddess

The Lunar military has a more utilitarian name for it: The East Legion. This shorter name also works better for the URL of the wiki:

The East Legion

I put links on the wiki to the posts on this blog that concern the campaign. In the near future I'll add a section about "what the characters know" to provide more context for helping the players decide the expedition's mission plan. Then I'll add a section where PC info can be placed.

More than anything, I just wanted to post this painting. It synthesizes perfectly the mood and themes of the campaign's inspirations: gritty and austere, yet colorful and wondrous.
