Selùne, Goddess of the Moon
Selùne, Goddess of the Moon, is the goddess of life, twilight, and stars . Her symbol is a Pair of eyes surrounded by seven stars. Selûne is thought to be among the most ancient of Rulides's deities. Most humans in Rulides consider the moon in the sky to literally be the goddess gazing down on the world, and the trailing motes of light behind it her tears. She is also a goddess of stars and navigation as well as motherhood and reproductive cycles. She is seen as a calm power, frequently venerated by female humans as well as by a mix of other folk: navigators and sailors, those who work honestly at night, those seeking protection in the dark, the lost, and the questing.
There are many legends about Selûne, chief among them being the tale of the battle at the beginning of time between Selûne and her sister, Shar. The Tears of Selûne, the cluster of starry lights that follow the moon around the sky, are thought to be brought about by the goddess's joy, sorrow, or both.
Milk, a symbol of motherhood, is used in many rites performed by the worshipers of Selûne, as are trances and meditation. Those who favor her typically set a bowl of milk outside on each night of the full moon. She is an intermediate deity in the pantheon. She is Chaotic Good.
