The Day the Moonlight Waned is the Silvermoon Trade Group faction questline in Crimson Desert, set along the southeastern coast of the Demeniss region. It begins once Bastier’s Inquisitors blockade the Silvermoon Tradehouse and unfolds across four quests: Shaded Silvermoon, A Desperate Hand, Gust Striking the Port, and A Promise Beyond the Shadows. Completing it earns you an alliance with the Silvermoon Trade Group, along with an Abyss Artifact and the Seal of Greed. This guide walks you through every step, including two hidden treasure chests most players miss.

Starting the Questline
Keep completing quests in the Demeniss region until the Silvermoon Tradehouse at the southeastern coast gets blockaded by Bastier’s Inquisitors. This will trigger Shaded Silvermoon, the first quest in the Day the Moonlight Waned Silvermoon Trade Group questline.
Shaded Silvermoon
Description
A merchant is lost in deep worry. Ask what is troubling him.
There is a merchant near the Silvermoon Tradehouse who wants to talk to you. He’s at the top of the overpass.
Treasure Chests:
There is a treasure chest hidden just below where you talk to the merchant. Look for this revolving wall. Hang onto one side and use a Forcused Force Palm on the other side. This will take you to the other side of the wall, where the chest is.
There is another treasure chest hidden beneath the stone-brick dock. Look for a barricaded crawlspace and open it with Force Palm to reach it.
To continue with the quest, head over to the Smugglers’ Dock west of the Silvermoon Tradehouse and talk to the merchant there. This will start the Hunter’s Cabin: Torn Trade Questline. Since you now have to go to the Hunter’s Cabin to investigate, you will probably also complete the Torn Trade questline with it.
The Hunter’s Cabin is east of the Silvermoon Tradehouse (they really make you walk for this one). Defeat everyone around the cabin. You will have examined it after the liberation. Then, talk to the injured merchant inside the Hunter’s Cabin.
A Desperate Hand
Description
Meet the great magnate of the Silvermoon Trade Group and hear about the situation. The Inquisitors’ tyranny is strangling the collective.
The Guildmaster is back at the guildhouse and you can talk to him inside the building.
Gust Striking the Port
Description
Righteous Inquisitors have seized control of the Silvermoon Trade Group. Defeat the Raging Tempest attempting to subjugate the collective.
Fight and defeat the Raging Tempest. He’s down by the docks.
Reward
1x Abyss Artifact
A Promise Beyond the Shadows
Description
Return to the great magnate and deliver the news that the Raging Tempest has been defeated. It is now time for the Silvermoon Trade Group’s next decision.
Return to the Guildmaster to receive your reward. You are now allied with the Silvermoon Trade Group.
Reward
1x Seal of Greed – Silvermoon Trade Group
1x Official Knight’s Plate Helm
