Alternately called the wife and daughter of Corellon, Sehanine is the mightiest of the female powers in the elven pantheon. Identified with the mystic powers of the moon, Sehanine's tears are said to have mingled with Corellon's blood and given life to the elf race. The elves to not forget this.

Sehanine watches over the dreams of the elves, keeping them from harm while in reverie and sending omens to protect them from future dangers. What's more, she shares the power of life span with Labelas Enoreth, and when an elf's ready to move on to the next world, she sends him visions of the path he must follow to reach the homeland. It's no wonder she's so well-loved by her charges.

Sehanine shares Corellon's tower in Arvandor, spinning her webs of illusion and care from its marble confines. Along with Labelas (and, to some extent, Corellon), she makes sure that elves due for reincarnation move along to a better form, and that elven refuges on the Prime Material Plane are kept safe from intrusion. Those who are companions and allies of Corellon tend to be friends of Sehanine as well.

Outside of Arvandor, Sehanine's proxy is a genderless cutter named Moonsilver, the grandson of a coupling between an elf and a tanar'ri. Moonsilver's own mother - the direct child of the lovers - was eventually hunted and slain by fiends from the Abyss who resented the union. Feeling as though she'd been derelict in her duty, Sehanine raised Moonsilver as her own. The tiefling's been given the power to become invisible at will, and is currently learning how to catch and ride on a moonbeam.
