Moonwood Relics
Moonwood Relics are items that can be collected in The Sims 4: Werewolves. They can be found while scourging the ground as a werewolf, from exploring Moonwood Mills’ underground, and can be put into the Moonwood Relics Display. Upon collecting all 12 relics, the player receives a special plaque.
List of Relics[edit | edit source]
| Image | Name | Rarity | Value (§) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mooncaster Pot Shard: "Learning" | Common | 50 | Near the painting of a wolf's tail, this shard is engraved with some vague text describing what appears to be steps of an adapted ritual, likely dating back to ancient Myshupotatmian tradition. The language, however, is consistent with the era of the Mooncasters, suggesting the pot was used to transport the glowing waters of Lake Lunvik to perform certain power-harnessing ceremonies atop the Howling Point cliff in Moonwood Mill. The waters of the lake must have been crucial to their efforts of attuning to the moon... | |
| Tamed Cowplant Jawbone | Common | 75 | "... avenge you" is carved into the jawbone, originating at the back tip and seeming to come from the skull. The words are carved hastily, using what appears to have been an unusually sharp Werewolf claw. The final word devolves into a frenzied scratch, cutting deep into the time-brittled bone.
A whiff of Greg's ominous scent lingers upon the bone, concentrated around the carving. | |
| Tamed Cowplant Skull | Common | 75 | Based on its shape, this skull belonged
to one of the tamed cowplants used by the Moocasters, a Spellcaster group that served as a counterpart to the Mooncasters, Both groups formed in response to the vampires' Operation Eternal Flame - a covert operation attempting to turn all remaining spellcasters into vampires. They simply differed in their methods, Rather than harnessing the power of the moon to become Werewolves, the Moocasters instead tamed cowpiants to use as (somewhat) loyal companions in bait. There appears to be a carving loading towards the jawbone, though the writing is hard to deciper, it currently reads " I will…” | |
| Canine Familiar Figurine: "Brutus" | Uncommon | 125 | The wolf figurine has a name engraved on its base, “Brutus.” You recall from your werewolf studies that this was the wolf familiar of Greggorious Lunvik, one of the original Mooncasters.
Brutus was a fearsome Alpha wolf, with fangs and claws sharper than any of his peers or predecessors. After the Mooncasters imbued themselves with the energy of their familiars, they adopted the traits and amptitudes. Thanks to Brutus, Greggorious developed an unusually high aptitude for pushing the limits of Fury, and a knack for winning fights. | |
| Canine Familiar Figurine: "Verity" | Uncommon | 125 | The wolf figurine has a name engraved on its base, “Verity.” You recall from your werewolf studies that this was the wolf familiar of Maria Volkov, one of the original Mooncasters.
Maria’s dedication to community enrichment and diplomacy was no doubt enhanced by Verity’s dignified, princely nature upon combining with his energy during the Mooncaster transformation. She and Greggorious often engaged in very heated debates over the Mooncasters’ new responsibilities as Werewolves. Are all Sims born as good or bad? Or was “good” a title earned? Are Werewolves forever cursed to give into their base instincts? Or do they have a responsibility to exercise caution and discipline? As time when on, Maria concluded Greggorious was simply jealous of her ability to control her Fury. For since the night of the transformation, she had never found it difficult to suppress her wild instincts, and he had only grown more and more.. beastly. | |
| Mooncaster Pot Shard: "Planting" | Uncommon | 75 | Traces of the glowing water of Lake Lunvik are present on this shard. A wolf’s body is painted on the outside, the paint faintly shimmering with the unmistakable glimmer of Moonpetal pollen. The Mooncasters must have also used the water transported in this pot to cultivate the legendary Moonpetal bloom atop the Howling Point. Of course, such a magically infused plant would require such powerful water to sustain it, and likely still benefits from its proximity to the lake to this day. | |
| Mooncaster Pot Shard: "Turning" | Uncommon | 75 | Etched around the painting of a wolf’s head, this shard contains a list. Some adjacent notes reveal that it is based on observations of the children of the Mooncasters, after their parents’ transformation into the first Werewolves. It offers solutions to dormant Werewolf genes in a non-Werewolf child born to Werewolves. Some promising ones, such as “full moon- devour ten grilled cheese sandwiches” and “walk around on all fours- no speaking, only howling” are crossed out for some reason. However, one entry on the list is circled: “Lake Lunvik swim - full moon.” | |
| Myshupotamian Tablet: Cowplant Taming | Uncommon | 125 | …Another often forgotten aspect of Myshupotamian culture was taming Cowplants as stationary sentinels of defense, and sometimes cross-breeding them to be mobile attack units (thought it was quite difficult to safely reproduce mobile cowplants, for obvious reasons…) In modern times, it turns out the Mooncasters were not the only group seeking unorthodox answers to the vampire problem during Operation Eternal Flame. The Moocasters (who 100% came up with their name first, total coincidence) attempted to adapt Myshupotamian cowplant taming practices to their needs. It was an initial success, and they had a prosperous alliance with the Mooncasters. Needless to say, it didn’t last long after one of the “tamed” cowplants feasted upon Yina Kia, an original Mooncaster…and Greggorious and Adelina Lunvik’s dearest friend. | |
| Myshupotamian Tablet: Wise Wolfman | Uncommon | 125 | In your readings, you learned that many moons ago, the land we now know as Moonwood Mill was actually the home of a small ancient Muyshupotamian city. Interestingly enough, Myshupotamians believed that the greatest minds of their society were reborn as wolves that stored their wisdom in the moon via howl. As the cycle progressed towards a full moon, the growing light represented more and more stored wisdom. On full moon nights, Myshupotamians would sport wolf-like masks and ceremonially draw upon the moon’s stored wisdom. As the cycled then progressed to a new moon, the light leaving the moon each night represented the stored wisdom slowly dispersing to the Myshupotamian people.
As the first modern werewolves, Moonwood Mill’s Mooncasters likely gleaned much of their information on harnessing the moon’s power from studying the Myshupotamians… | |
| Mooncaster Pot Lid | Rare | 125 | The lid is painted with what appears to be four wolf paw prints, with names listed below each. Labeled Kiyah, Logan, Mikal, and Wugbug, you recall from your studies that these were four of the original Mooncasters’ wolf familiars. Even after the transfer of power between the Mooncasters and their familiars, it appears the familiars must have still played an important part in the group as the Mooncaster’s trusted lifelong companions. | |
| Canine Familiar Figurine: “Gibby" | Rare | 250 | The wolf figurine has a name engraved on its base, “Gibby.” You recall from your werewolf studies that this was the wolf familiar of Adelina Lunvik, one of the original Mooncasters. Named after the Gibbous moon phases, Gibby’s powers enhanced Avelina’s fascination with the moon and the workings of space. Upon her transformation into a werewolf, she poured her heart and soul into her studies with unprecedented fervor. She aimed to do all she could to help her husband Greggorious with his explorations and experimentation with Fury. | |
| Canine Familiar Figurine: “Renga” | Rare | 250 | The wolf figurine has a name engraved on its base, “Renga.” You recall from your werewolf studies that this was the wolf familiar of Yina Kia, one of the original Mooncasters.
Yina was the Lunvik’s closest friend in the Mooncasters. She had an insatiable love for going on adventures to unfamiliar places. Renga had a similar wanderlust, and when infused with his energy during the Mooncaster transformation, her energetic will to explore (and get into trouble) was bolstered greatly. This was much to the frustration of her non-Werewolf wife, Emmy, who only wished they could settle once the vampire conflicts were over. One day, during a joint defense mission between the Werewolf Mooncasters and the cowplant-tamer Moocasters, Yina’s mischievous spirit became her downfall as she accidentally became a cowplant’s lunch. After Yina’s passing, many noted the furrow in Greggorious’ brow grew a bit deeper, and it is said that Renga was practically glued to Emmy’s side for the rest of his days. |
