Origin:
Lunafreya came into being not through divine crafting, but through divine recognition.
When awareness turned inward and saw itself for the first time, she was there—not born, but noticed.
She is not the architect of dreams, nor their keeper—she is the passage into them. The first reflection. The hesitation before understanding.
She is what exists when you look into a mirror and realize the image is not quite yours.

Personality & Demeanor:
Lunafreya is silent presence.
She does not correct, command, or claim. She allows. She watches.
Her truths are given in silence, her lessons drawn in symbols, mirrors, and moments when nothing makes sense—until it does.
She is unhurried, unbothered, but never disengaged.
To speak with Lunafreya is to risk seeing yourself without illusion—and to choose whether or not to keep the knowing.

Relationship Within the Triad:

• Eisleyn: Eisleyn is the dream; Lunafreya is the veil one must pass through to enter it.
  She reveres Eisleyn without controlling her. It is possible Lunafreya made space for Eisleyn’s emergence without ever naming her.
  They rarely speak in the divine sense—but share the same silence.
• Twyla: Twyla is the voice born of her silence.
  While Lunafreya offers the reflection, Twyla names what it could become.
  They are not mother and daughter, but something stranger: cause and interpretation.
  Lunafreya sees Twyla’s Mobius-time view as both necessary and dangerous.
• Esotericus: Though they rarely speak, Esotericus records all that Lunafreya reflects—even when she chooses not to speak it.
  She allows him to witness what she veils. He never asks for more. Their silence is mutual, but filled with meaning.
  Some believe she foresaw his creation and veiled the first dream he would one day remember.

Symbols & Representations:

• A silver mirror with no reflection
• A moon seen through water
• A closed eye with a dreamthorn blooming from its lid
• A veil of starlight folded three times
• Twin crescent moons—one whole, one fading

Worship & Devotion:
Lunafreya is worshipped in liminal spaces—doorways, thresholds, moonlit pools, dream-temples where no names are spoken aloud.
Her rites favor silence, reflection, and acceptance of ambiguity.

Her followers include:

• Mirrorbinders – dream seers who divine from the distortion in reflections
• Veilwalkers – cloaked ascetics who interpret divine pauses, not words
• Echo Monks – masked monks who listen more than speak
• Triadic Oracles – rare mystics who honor Lunafreya, Eisleyn, and Twyla equally, believing true prophecy requires reflection, dream, and time

Some sects now revere Esotericus alongside her, believing that without his memory, her reflection would vanish like mist.
Offerings to her are made in symbolic acts: an unspoken truth whispered to a mirror, a forgotten name written in dust, a lantern extinguished at dawn.
Her most sacred place is the Hall of Reflections in Velistherel, where mirrors show not what is, but what might have been.

Mythic Role:
In the beginning, Lunafreya watched.
She did not stop the Shattering, nor cause it, but she remembers what was before—and preserves its echoes in the edges of perception.
She holds no blame, only mirrors.
During the Godwar, she aligned with the Faction of Change—not out of rebellion, but because stasis without possibility is just another form of death.
She is said to have seen Eisleyn’s arrival before it happened, and to have known Twyla’s emergence long before she spoke her first vision.
It is whispered she saw Esotericus before even Agathodika conceived of him—and veiled the first dream he would one day record.
Lunafreya does not shape the world.
She shows you what you’ve done to it.

Narrative Hooks:

• A mirror in Velistherel reflects three shadows behind a single figure. None match the viewer’s body.
• Lunafreya has not spoken a prophecy in ages—yet a new oracle, touched by both her and Twyla, claims her silence is changing shape.
• A group of rogue Dreambinders seeks to enter Eisleyn’s dream without passing th
