Sehanine

The Moonweaver

Pronunciation: (Say-ah-nee-nnn)

Sehanine is the god of moonlight and the autumn season, as well as the patron of illusions and misdirection. Widely worshiped in halfling and elven cultures, she is considered to be the deity of love, protecting the trysts of lovers with shadows of her own making. Those who work in darkness and trickery often ask for her blessing.

Sehanine is found among the verdant tangles of the realm of Arborea, watching over the elven courts, or wandering among the colorful fields of the Feywild.

Holidays

Sehanine has no holy day but is celebrated by the elves on the night of the decade's largest full moon. Elven astronomers track Catha's phases and how it grows closer to and farther from Exandria to predict these days with great accuracy. Many haughty elves use this festival as an excuse to obe sly and mischievous, while younger elves use costumes and illusions to prank their peers. Some elves of Bysaes Tyl hold a secret festival in the Pearlbow Wilderness during the full moon, since the Dwendalian Empire doesn't allow worship of the Moonweaver.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

The Moonweaver's depictions are as numerous as the myths and stories of her meddling with the unions of mortals. She is most often painted as a young girl with light blue skin and white hair, her body and limbs merely wavy silk strands of silver moonlight that caress and create the edges of the shadows around her.
