The Crimson Moon is the plaguemark of the Borisin, passed along to each warhead.[1]
History[]
In Borisin legends, the first Warhead, Duran, grew dissatisfied with the Borisins' limited lifespan and power. He slaughtered countless Borisins and Foxians alike, casting their bodies into the Redspring bestowed by Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance.[2] Through a form of "genetic sorcery," the Lunar Embryo was born within the Redspring. Duran ascended the Lunar Embryo and obtained a heart shaped like a deep-red full moon, the Crimson Moon, which he used to replace his own. From that time onward, each Warhead succession ritual required the successor to cut open the chest of the previous Warhead and consume the divine heart, thus claiming it as their own.[1]
After the creation of the Lunar Embryo, Duran obtained a deep red, moon-shaped heart, a product of the plaguemark. This relic was traditionally passed down from one Warhead to the next and granted them the power to transform Foxians into complete Borisins by infecting them with the Warhead's blood.[1][3]
In the Year 8100 Star Calendar, during the Luminary Wardance Ceremony on the Xianzhou Luofu,[4] Hoolay tears the Crimson Moon out of his chest and casts it above the Skysplitter in a last-ditch effort to kill Feixiao.
However, Feixiao consumed it to protect all Foxian bystanders and successfully subdues her ensuing Moon Rage.[5]
Mock Crimson Moon[]
The Mock Crimson Moon, an artificial product.
The Mock Crimson Moon was an artificial product created by Intelligentsia Guild Scholar Torkirk from the School of Evolutionary Perfection during the Scholars' Strife. It was once experimented on a dying patient. After having it transplanted into their body, their health improved by the day as they grew stronger and stronger, but they found themself tearing at their throat and chest in a fit of extreme pain and madness under the white light of the moon. The researchers claimed that the cells had assimilated roughly 6.01% of the subject's tissue, and this is the limit that a regular person can withstand. Although the subject's innate bodily fluid boiling syndrome was able to greatly suppress the negative side effects of the Mock Crimson Moon, the researchers ended the experiment and killed the subject with a gun.[6][7]
In the end, the mad Torkirk stood atop the bodies of his colleagues, eventually dying of heart failure.[8]
