Selûne

Moonmaiden

Selûne is the goddess of moonlight and the autumn season. Known as the Our Lady of Silver or the Moonmaiden, she is widely worshiped in halfling and elven cultures, she is considered to be the deity of love, protecting the trysts of lovers with shadows of her own making. Her nature, mood, and appearance change with the phases of the moon. So those who look for her guiding light in the darkness, to those who work in darkness and trickery often ask for her blessing. Non-evil lycanthropes bend to her as seekers and diviners pray for truth.
The Moonmaiden is mystery and honesty, joy and sorrow, love and madness. She always keeps in mind the balance, working well with Istishia as the push and pull of the tides.
Depiction. Selûne’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.

Physical Description

Body Features

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.
