Description:
Lord Moon is the brother of the Sun Goddess Glantanka and the Fire God Filash.
Also known as Lunara in the Old World (and as a female deity in Analand by this name) and as Kuran (South East Allansia) where he is seen as the son of Glantanka.
He is known as Tiriel, The Silent Guardian to the Dark Elves.
It is believed that he is a member of one of the original families of the Gods created by the Primal Deities.
In his case, his family is believed to have been created by Ashra.
He is one of the Greater Gods.
Some religions believe that Lord Moon was Sindla’s husband, for as his sister’s light attracted Titan, Sindla was captivated by his more enigmatic light.
There is much argument to suggest that Lord Moon is not a purely Good deity.
The Moon is worshipped, as has been said, by the Dark Elves and this does not appear to be a blind belief because he has granted them his blessings on occasion.
However, like other Gods of Good he is bound to the path of Goodness that can forgive the creatures of Evil enough to grant them blessing when they need it.
Also the Moon in certain manifestations is associated with nights of Evil, such as Shekka’s Moon.
This may have something to do with a history between Shekka and Lord Moon that we do not fully understand.
In the legend of Throben Lunara is one of the six Gods who created this mystical land to prevent the loss of the wisdom of magic after the First Battle.
The people who were invested with magic by him were the Sightmasters.
It was the six Gods who together brought about the existence of the Theomancer to unit the six peoples of Throben in this tale.
