Altuma: Goddess of the Moon and Hunt
Altuma, the Goddess of the Moon, arises from the celestial accord forged by Lugus in response to his discontent with the sun's brilliance. Crafted with divine artistry from a blend of Aergetlam's light and the clay of Dagadae, Altuma embodies the delicate balance in nature and the luminous reflection of her celestial counterpart.
Lugus, seeking solace in the wilderness, breathed life into Altuma, fashioning her as a wild and radiant beauty. As the mistress of the wilds, Altuma not only mirrors the splendor of Aergetlam's radiance but also stands as a manifestation of Lugus' creativity and connection to the untamed realms.
Balum's forbidden love for Altuma adds a poignant layer to this divine tale, with the God of the Sea expressing his yearning through the rhythmic dance of the moon's pull on the ocean waves. Despite the decree against their union, Balum's undying affection manifests in the eternal embrace between the moonlit tides and the boundless depths of his longing.
