Selene, Goddess of Beauty and Love is the concealed visage of true beauty. She seeks to share Her view of the world with all who wish to learn it. Although most mortals are content with their own unique views of love, Selene tries to help them recognise that Love has no boundaries and encompasses many different elements while still remaining faithful unto itself.

Beauty, as well, can be found anywhere one seeks it, as long as it is truly sought, for Beauty appears in more forms than the mortal mind can imagine or even comprehend.


History

Selene is the second divine to hold dominion over this realm. Originally merely a dream of Sarapis during His period of slumber during the Year 350, the goddess passed from the dreamrealm into full reality through the aid of Valnurana and a collection of mortals who bolstered Her will. Upon his awakening, the Logos stripped Eros, the former God of Love and Beauty, of His status and transfered the mantle to Selene.

In the year 611AF, Selene having rescued her love Lupus from being destroyed by Bal'met, was visited by the rogue god in an attempt to finish the job he once started. Selene trying to protect her love was no match, and was killed but not without wounding the god away from Lupus who still slept.

The Order of Selene

Selene favours those who seek to find Beauty and Love in all that they encounter, especially within oneself. Little else is known of the devoted followers of Selene.

Divine Symbols

The holy symbol of Selene is the silver spider.
