Selûne
(a.k.a. Our Lady of Silver
The Moonmaiden
The Night White Lady)
Selune (seh-loon-ay) represents the mysterious power of the moon, the celestial force that influences the tides, changes lycanthropes, orders of reproductive cycles, and pulls at the edges of sanity. An incalculably ancient deity, Selune approaches existence with the placid calm of dappled moonlight. Like the moon itself, the quietly mystical Lady of Silver has many faces. At times, she seems distant, cloaked in the sadness of past defeats and tragedies. At others, she dances joyfully, her lithe form glowing with majestic radiance. A chaotic being well accustomed to change, Selune can be count on for at least one constant--her ceaseless war against her arch-nemesis Shar. Together the two created Toril and infused it with life, and ever since, they have battled over the fate of their creation.

Tenets of Faith
According to Moonsea superstition, one who mocked Selûne while aboard a ship would never complete their voyage. The sailors of Thentia took this very seriously. Furthermore, Thentians saw the whole Moonsea as sacred to the goddess. Another Moonsea legend held that couples who came to Point Moonsea on the first night of Selûne's first day and exchanged their vows would suffer no strife in their marriage.
Moonstones were believed to be sacred to Selûne by her followers.[64] Some folk believed silver to be Selûne's hardened tears.
