Mene (Dragon's Blood)

Mene is the former goddess of the moon. She is worshipped by the elves. She is said to live in the Lotuses of Mene. It is yet unclear why she vanished and how she relates to Selemene.

DOTA: Dragon's Blood, Book 1, Episode 3: Neverwhere Land Fymryn: A thousand years ago, deep in the Nightsilver Woods, the Sun shut her eyes and the moon turned to blood. Elf Girl: Did it hurt? Fymryn: It made her weak. Elf Boy: Mene, Goddess of the Moon. Fymryn: ''Yes. Ssh. Listen now. The night turned red, and our goddess was trapped in shadow by Selemene. Elf Boy: Selemene, the Dark Moon Goddess. Elf Girl: Mene is still inside the shadow? Fymryn: She is. Elf Girl: Can she get out? Elf Girl: Why? Why did Selemene do that? Fymryn: Selemene wanted worship from the Coriel'tauvi. Punished anyone who wouldn't call her Goddess. Elf Girl: But some elves, they did say her prayers to her? To Selemene? Fymryn: Yes, some did. Some still do. Elf Girl: But she's evil. Fymryn: That's how evil works sometimes. Elf Boy: But— *The boy gets silenced by Fymryn who places her forefinger on his lips* Fymryn: Selemene banished anyone who wouldn't pray to her, far from our home in the Nightsilver Woods, into the darkest corners of the world. *Fymryn gazes upon the Elven shrine that was once dedicated to Mene* Fymryn: Our true Goddess left this world, but everyday we worship Mene, so one day she'll come back to us. *The elven children and Fymryn pray in unison, saying "Praise the Moon of Mene" in prayerful tones* Elf Boy: But if Mene is dead, how does she come back? Fymryn: Through belief. Worship. What is divine may never die. You see, Mene left a gift for us in the Temple. Her magical lotuses. Elf Boy: Presents? But they're just flowers. Fymryn: Special flowers. She lived for her flowers, so when he lays the flowers on the earth, she will return. Elf Boy: Uhh...who is "he"? Fymryn: "He" is a man with spectacular knowledge and power. A sorcerer. Elf Girl: Does he have a name? Fymryn: He doesn't. He lives in a miraculous tower, tucked in the valley of the highest mountains. And that's where I will go. And I will bring him these.'' *Fymryn opens her bag, containing the magical lotuses that she stole from the usurper's temple. The children gather around the magic lotuses and gaze in wonder* Elf Boy: ''The presents! *gasps* You're going to bring back Mene. You're going to take us home! Elf Girl: I don't wanna go home. I want more story! Fymryn: *chuckles* Don't worry. There's plenty left to tell.''

Prophecy
A prophecy predicts the return of Mene, when the Lotuses of Mene are laid down on the Earth by.

Trivia

 * Mene is the old name of Dota 2's Selemene before it was replaced for unknown reasons, so any mention of Mene in Dota 2 lore refers to the same moon goddess Selemene. In Dota: Dragon's Blood, however, they are two distinct and individual goddesses.
