Lunarel

"I am the silver light in the dark, the whisper between the stars, the dream that lingers when the dawn arrives. Those who seek shall find, and those who question shall learn." 

Overview

Lunarel is the divine embodiment of the Moon, dreams, mysteries, and balance, worshipped by the Lunar Covenant and those who reject the Empire’s rigid rule. While Solenara is the light that commands, Lunarel is the glow that guides, the veil that conceals and reveals in equal measure.

They are feminine-presenting but non-binary, embodying the fluidity of identity, time, and fate itself. To their followers, they are the guardian of the Veil, the bridge between the known and the unknown, the unseen hand that shapes destiny without force.

To the Holy Solarian Empire, Lunarel is a dangerous deceiver, a false light meant to lead the faithful astray. The Church of the Radiant Flame teaches that Lunarel was once Solenara’s servant but turned against the Sun out of envy. They claim Lunarel’s magic is untrustworthy, chaotic, and a threat to the order of the world.

But to the Lunar Covenant, Lunarel is not the enemy of the Sun—only the balance that was lost.

Divine Aspects

Lunarel is a deity of duality and shifting forms, associated with mysticism, cycles, and hidden truths.

1. The Moon, Keeper of the Cycles

• The moon waxes and wanes, but always returns—so too do life, fate, and history.
• Lunarel is a symbol of constant change, teaching that nothing is permanent, and all things must evolve.
• The Lunar Covenant believes their exile and persecution are just another cycle—and that one day, the balance will be restored.

2. The Dreamweaver, Guide of the Lost

• Lunarel is the patron of dreams, visions, and prophecy.
• Their priests and mystics walk the paths of dreams, uncovering truths hidden in the subconscious.
• It is said that those who seek guidance may receive a vision from Lunarel in their sleep—but the meaning is never clear.

3. The Veilkeeper, Guardian of the Unseen

• Lunarel rules over the Veil, the boundary between the physical world and the realms beyond.
• Spirits, forgotten gods, and ancient secrets lurk within the Veil, accessible only to those who can pierce the illusion of reality.
• Some claim that Lunarel does not just keep the Veil, but was the one who wove it in the first place.

4. The Silent Watcher, The Patient Hand

• Unlike Solenara, who demands obedience, Lunarel offers guidance but never forces a path.
• They teach that true wisdom comes from seeking, not from being given answers.
• Their presence is felt, not imposed—a whisper on the wind, a shadow in the water, a light in the distance.

5. The Eclipse, The Hidden Truth

• Some Lunar scholars believe Lunarel and Solenara were once equals, two halves of a divine whole.
• The Eclipse is the rare moment when their lights merge, symbolizing a forgotten unity between Sun and Moon.
• The Church bans Eclipse worship, seeing it as heretical and dangerous.
