Lunari

Lunari is a term used in various fantasy, science fiction, and role-playing contexts to denote beings, cultures, or concepts linked to the Moon. Because it is not tied to a single canonical source, its exact meaning shifts with the work in which it appears. The word derives from Latin luna, meaning Moon, and the suffix -ari, which in some fictional languages or world-building conventions forms a collective or nominal designation.

In many settings, Lunari describe moon-dwelling or moon-ward aligned populations, often characterized as nocturnal, or as practitioners of lunar magic, astrology, or lunar-based governance. They may organize around lunar cycles, sacred sites, or artifacts associated with the Moon. Some depictions emphasize pale or iridescent appearances, while others focus on their celestial connections or spiritual traditions.

Because Lunari usage spans multiple authors and games, there is no universal profile. Details—such as their homeworlds, social structures, and powers—are determined by the creator. The term sometimes appears alongside related concepts like lunar-borne beings, moon-elves, or astral orders.

Real-world note: "Lunari" is not a standard astronomical term; the conventional adjective is lunar. In published works, consult the specific setting for authoritative definitions.
