God of the moon and autumn, Sehanine is the patron of trickery and illusions. She has close ties to Corellon and Melora and is a favorite deity among elves and halflings. Scouts and thieves ask for her blessing on their work.

Sehanine's worshipers see her blessings in the moon's phases. The full moon shields the faithful from harm. A bladelike crescent bodes well for their attacks. And a dark moon presents opportunities to take what you will. Other omens sent by Sehanine are as follows:
- Blue moon (good omen, marks an auspicious event)
- Red moon (bad omen, heralds bloodshed)

- A candle's flame glows with silvery light during prayer (good omen, marks a heard prayer).
Tenets of Faith
Her teachings are simple:
- Follow your goals and seek your own destiny.
- Keep to the shadows, avoiding the blazing light of zealous good and the utter darkness of evil.
- Seek new horizons and new experiences, and let nothing tie you down.

Contacts & Relations
After the gods had won the war against the primordials, they fought amongst themselves for dominion over various aspects of the natural world. Sehanine sided with Khala, Zehir and Corellon against Pelor and his allies, until Avandra offered compromises in the form of day-night cycles and the seasons. Later, during the War of Winter, Sehanine intervened alongside Pelor to protect the ancient compromises of night and day from being overthrown by Khala, the god of winter.
She opposes Asmodeus and Zehir.
In the Feywild, Sehanine is the most prevalent patron among witches, who refer to her simply as the Goddess. The Firbolg's worship Sehanine as one of the Three Fates. Sehanine is the Maiden, alongside Melora (the Mother) and The Raven Queen (the Crone)
