The amazing yueliang fenghuang, also known as the lunar phoenix, is aligned to the cold of the night and the radiance of the moon and stars. Being that it is so attuned to the night sky it can breathe a beam of radiant moonlight. The is another version of this creature known as the solar phoenix which is more attuned to fire and it is known as the taiyeng fenghuang and generally, these two mysterious birds are at times drawn together at other times repulsed. These strange avian dragons seem to travel not only through the heavens but also between the spirit lands and the outerworlds and even into the thousand hells. These great creatures can be made allies with and even used as mounts in battle. These strange creatures are a mystery and only land at the most secluded of islands or mountains, this is where they construct menhirs and carve strange glyphs into these massive stones. Most people wonder why these enigmatic birds land at these places and why they carve the stones there. Are they places of immense magical power? Are they constructing mana stones to feed on the magical energies? Whatever the answer is, these strange and enigmatic entities can be found at those sites singing to the stars and the moon in a very soft humming that sounds almost like meditation.
