Sehanine, the Moonweaver (Seh-ha-neen)
Goddess of moonlight and the autumn season, the patron of illusions and misdirection, as well as the goddess associated with the tides due to her lunar attributions. Widely worshipped within halfling and elven culture, she is largely considered to be the deity of love and protector of the trysts of lovers. Those who work in secrecy and trickery often ask for her blessing. While both moons are her domain, Catha is widely associated with Sehanine, possibly as her creation, and there are those who believe the red moon Ruidus is ruled by another god or power.
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.

Tenets of Faith
- Seize your own destiny and pursue your own passions.
- Let the shadows protect you from the burning light of fanaticism and the absolute darkness of despair.
- Walk unbridled and untethered, forging new memories and experiences.
Holidays
Sehanine has no holy day but is celebrated by the elves on the night of Catha's largest full moon of the decade. Elven astronomers track the moon's phases and how it grows closer and farther to Exandria to predict these days with great accuracy. Many haughty elves use this festival as an excuse to be 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 Moon Weaver.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The Moon Weaver'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.
