The Glowstone Isles fell near the Crown Royal sometime in 1400 AR. While being part of the Crown, they retain their sovereignty over the laws of their land. The Glowstone Isles house about 30'000 people and have a total area of about 50 Square-Kilometers. It consist of about 20 steep islands of different size close together. The island cluster is located 20km from Vladirostock, having fallen onto a dead volcano upon arrival. The isles contain a certain type of rock that glows faintly white, reminding of moonlight. This makes the isles shimmer slightly at night. The capital is the Moonlit Bastille, rebuilt ruins of a fallen fortress, where most of the population resides. Over a certain time, two smaller towns had formed in the Glowstone Isles. The Glowstone Isles is designated as the Glowstone Isles Autonomous Area [GIAA], it's regional capital being the Moonlit Bastille, which also happens to be the largest city in the isles.

As the Glowstone Isles are a Special Autonomous Zone, the Glowstone Isles can decide for themselves who goes in and out. It's also a general no-fly zone for most commercial flights. as the Moonlit Bastille's uncountable towers were deemed a flight hazard by the Crown Aviation Board. Fey-owned ships frequently shuttle to and from Vladirostock, as they were granted special permission to do so by the Crown.

The Moonlit Bastille is the capital of the Glowstone Isles, and is the size of a small city built with Glowstone. When the Bastille fell from the sky with the rest of the land, many parts of it were shattered. The survivors of the lands gathered themselves in the ruin to take shelter and slowly built a small fey-city. The Bastille is always full of activity. It expands, as it is slowly built up ever grander. The Bastilla is filled with many large towers piercing the sky, making it a general no-fly zone for most commercial flights. The architecture was layered, with uncountably many bridges connecting all the parts of the huge castle.

At night, the city shines like the moon's surface. This is usually a tourist attraction, usually drawing in small crowds of people to watch this phenomenon.
