Selûne, The MoonMaiden
Selûne, also known as Our Lady of Silver, the Moonmaiden, and the Night White Lady, was the goddess of the moon and held the portfolios of the moons, stars, navigation, wanderers, questers, seekers, wanderers, questers, seekers and non-evil lycanthropes.
Prior to the calamity, the MoonMaiden was a greater goddess of the moon's mysterious power, the heavenly force that governed the world's tides and the cause of lycanthropes to shift form, and drew to the brink of madness, and back again. Her nature, appearance, and mood all changed in turn with the phases of the moon.
She continued to serve as an greater goddess until the reappearance of Priscilla, in which she sacrificed her power, domain and life to greatly weaken Priscilla, selecting a new heir in the process, marking the beginning of the Silver Strider which succeed her.
In any form or state, whenever she was in darkness, Selûne's avatar continually emanated a faint blue-white glow like moonlight.
Nevertheless, at all times, Selûne was caring and accepting of most beings, and forgiving of most of her followers' faults. She was both ageless and ancient. She was quietly mystical and, as a being of chaos, well used to change. She had a serene and peaceful nature and was slow to anger; she would not fight if she could help it, but nor did she hold back if she must. She was fiercely protective when confronted by evil. The one constant was her eternal conflict with Shar.
She was generous and freely bestowed gifts and blessings on mortals. She also made few demands of her followers. When beseeched by her clergy, she always responded.

1. Description
1.1. Appearance
In both her avatars and her religious artwork, Selûne appeared in many forms, like the phases of the moon. One was a dusky-skinned human woman with long limbs; perfect and exquisite beauty; wide, radiant, lime-green eyes; and long, ivory-hued hair that fell to her knees. Another was an ethereal young girl of slender frame, dark eyes, and dark hair, wearing diaphanous robes colored white or resembling dappled moonlight, which trailed her "moondust" or "moon motes". A third was a matronly middle-aged woman, plump yet fair and aging gracefully, with gray-streaked dark hair. This one sometimes lived among mortals; the most notable such avatar was the innkeeper Luna. A simple depiction of the goddess was of a woman's face on the disc of the moon.In any form or state, whenever she was in darkness, Selûne's avatar continually emanated a faint blue-white glow like moonlight.
1.2. Symbol
Her holy symbol was a bright pair of eyes of a darkly beautiful human woman, encircled by seven silver stars.1.3. Personality
Like the cycles of the moon, Selûne had many and changing moods and natures. Her faithful, coming from many walks of life, viewed her in countless different ways, and she reflected this. Sometimes she was enthusiastic, vivacious, joyous, and majestic, given to action and dance. At other times, she was subdued, motherly, and almost poetic or tranquil and embracing. Then she was remote and weighed down by sadness at defeats and tragedies, even those that happened long, long ago. Finally, she could be aggressive and fierce, but cold, and with little mercy for her enemies. These shifting personalities made her versatile. Nevertheless, she was viewed as a calm power.Nevertheless, at all times, Selûne was caring and accepting of most beings, and forgiving of most of her followers' faults.
