Selemene

Selemene is the goddess of the moon. She is worshiped by and. The ancient Nightsilver Woods is dedicated to her, and contains her private reserve of glowing lotuses, growing in silvery pools. Selemene is associated with the Lunar Moth, although the precise nature of this relationship is unclear.

Powers
Having control over the moon and its energies, Selemene imbues her followers' weapons with lunar energy, smites their enemies with moon beams, and shroud the land in shadow. In times of great need, the goddess descends into the world, and obscures the sun with a lunar eclipse to aid her champions in battle.

She has also blessed Andalmere, the Lion of the Moon.

The Dark Moon
A sect of warriors, the Dark Moon, devotes themselves to Selemene's service. Residing in the Nightsilver Woods, they find and initiate new members into the order as Selemene demands. One such initiate was Luna, the Moon Rider. Having found herself at the edge of the forest, Luna was put through a trial, during which an enormous feline beast sparred with her, and led her to a moonlit hill.

Those who refuse to join the Dark Moon are forbidden to return to the Nightsilver Woods.

Holy Sites
The Temple of Mene is dedicated to Selemene. Mirana, having abandoned her kingdom to serve Selemene, sometimes prays at the temple, where she receives prophetic visions. On the night of each new moon, the followers of Selemene don sacred garbs, sing rites and burn offerings to the goddess.

A Shrine of Selemene also exists, erected at the spot where a moonshard fell from the sky long ago, when the Nightsilver Woods were still young.
