Welcome to Beryl's, Moonkarta's most popular cafe.

Here, we meet The Librarian who introduces us to Splott, Jansey Bebop and a host of Moonkarta's residents. We join the gang at the end of Summer, as the wheel turns to usher in a new season. The town is preparing for the annual Flight of the Butternut Babies, who live in the Forbidden Forest with the shy and elusive Moonbears. Every year, vast crowds line the ports, the docks and the boardwalks to watch as the Butternut Babies take flight.

While the festival attracts thousands to Moonkarta, The Mayor is hosting two very important guests; Mayor Thrake and Lord Bulag, who are in town to persuade The Mayor to let them excavate the Forbidden Forest.

In his attempts to impress his VIPs, The Mayor employs rogue, Splott. Known for his expert sea-faring abilities, Splott agrees to hire a boat and put on some entertainment for The Mayor's guests so they can enjoy the end of summer festival with the best view in town.

In exchange for a handsome payment and with help from poet Jansey Bebop and the Sassy Lighthouse Keeper, Splott does the very least he can to help.

Elsewhere, new Astronomers are arriving at the dock from the ancient land of Staxis. They are there to protect Moonkarta, and to watch the skies from the Western Forest Observatory. Things are changing, and this time the old Astronomer, named Touv, has his warrior-daughter Gorel with him for protection.

Brace yourself, for this was the day that everything changed.

Join The Librarian at Beryl's cafe, as he tells us a story about an unwanted visitor to Moonkarta named THE; a shape-shifting fae, or Pwca, who visits from his home deep in the forest. THE spies on a council meeting from the roof of the library, where The Librarian, The Mayor and the Astronomers are deep in discussion about the changing times.

THE has been sent by an unkown force, to take Splott and to deliver a warning to the town that revenge will come. He shape-shifts into The Librarian during the re-opening of Moonkarta's museum and attempts to take Splott. But how does THE know the boy?

THE makes a run for it, disappearing into the paintings before anyone can catch him. Eventually, with all the paintings covered up or turned around so he can't escape, THE has nowhere left to go. He jumps into a giant skeleton of a Banglejackosaur and wreaks havoc until a hungry Doggy, seizing the opportunity to enjoy a tasty bone, brings the skeleton crashing down.

THE is let go, but not until the warning has been passed. Who is THE working for? What revenge does he speak of? And who are the Deermen?

Every Autumn the Great Circus Danasko rolls into Moonkarta. We join The Librarian at Beryl's. The Librarian recalls a time when the circus' arrival meant more than just a passing visit.

The Librarian introduces us to the Circus Master, who his also his brother, Esteban and we learn about a past made up of conflict and division, when the brothers, who were once the greatest trapeze act in the land, split to follow different dreams. Since then, they have never seen eye-to-eye.

Whilst in town, Esteban hosts a talent contest for the Moonkarta residents, but even in this there is an ulterior motive; to find someone with so little talent that his audience will find them hilarious.

Throughout the contest, Splott and Jansey's friendship is tested. Can Splott step up for Jansey in her time of need and prove himself to be a genuine friend?

Here, we also meet Potts; a loyal circus member of twenty years who has returned to Moonkarta to retire here. A brave man who has seen the world, Potts becomes a firm ally of The Librarian.

As the circus rolls back out of Moonkarta it is revealed that there is more to Esteban's scheming than was first thought, as he meets with Cirrina, Queen of the Octofolk. Esteban has marked Splott in exchange for the protection of his brother against what is to come, showing that their brotherly bond is not yet entirely broken.
