Sehanine Moonbow

Daughter of the Night Skies, Goddess of Moonlight, The Lunar Lady, Moonlit Mystery, The Mystic Seer, The Luminous Cloud, Lady of Dreams

The Lunar Lady walks beyond the veil of the night, separating herself from the lives of mortals. Though she seldom concerns herself with the affairs of the world, she remains a protector of the elves, blessing them with her illusions and omens. Though arguably the most powerful of the elven deities, Sehanine’s influence ebbs and flows with the lunar cycles, and she is almost as powerless as a mortal during the daylight hours of the new moon. But, the followers of the Daughter of the Night Skies know that the moon will always rise again.   The most dedicated Sehanites often serve their communities as seers and morticians, but the organized hierarchy of their church is shrouded in secrecy. It is well known that Sehanine Moonbow loathes the undead, and her clergy often carry out funeral rites for the fallen regardless of the individual’s faith, in order to ensure their bodies are properly put to rest.   Sehanite places of worship are often constructed in carefully chosen locales, allowing them to measure and record the lunar phases and movements in great detail. The sleeping quarters of priests are often built with skylights, to allow rays of moonlight to shine on them as they sleep, to receive messages from their goddess.   Though all full moons are a time of worship for Sehanites, certain celestial phenomena hold special value. When the full moon falls on the winter solstice, and the moon shines during the longest night of the year, many worshippers claim to have been visited by their Lady of Dreams, and even turned into moonbeams themselves, traveling across the night sky as she imparts them with spiritual knowledge.
