Ancient Lunar Deity; Patron of Star Elves; Mystery of the Night
Status: Missing
The moon is tranquil, calm, and mysterious. It is the celestial force that influences the tides, changes lycanthropes, orders reproductive cycles, and lights the darkness. Seluna reigns in solitude. Each star is a reflection of her beauty. All around the world, people use the stars and moon to navigate; thus, Seluna's followers are very diverse. They pray to Seluna at night by cupping their hands to fill their palms with moonlight, before bringing their hands to their heart.
Seluna's imagery can be found in courts of law, as she is the deity of truth. It is said that Seluna can tell no lies. Seluna's most devout followers are the Star Elves.
In ancient times, a group of Varos's Sun Elves ventured into the Snowfell Mountains on a mission of discovery. They grew weary, and were ill-prepared for the dangers that the terrain presented. Lost, starving, and on the brink of death, the group of elves implored Varos to save them. Seluna came to their rescue instead by lighting the night sky with a multihued aurora that guided the elves to a small, secluded shelter in the mountains near a freshwater spring. The elves believed Varos had abandoned them, and turned to worship Seluna instead. They came to be known as Dark Elves, and later a religious schism ended with them renaming themselves Star Elves.
