Her worship is peculiar but is no longer regarded as anathema and in some places sages replace the Chaos rune with that of Disorder, but this is probably mere propaganda. This is now counted as the start of the Second Age. Initially a goddess of gypsies and vagabonds, her worship grew throughout the Dawn Age, until, at the end, a crusading exodus of Moonies swept east from Karnak and north from Heliopolis via Godsport and, despite opposition from the troll lands, established the Citadel of Moonguard (some say with political support from Transylvania). Selene ranked foremost among the Chaos Deities and has remained so ever since Time began. To this day, there is a continual strife between the elements of Moon and Dark, power swaying between the two cyclically. Upon the resurrection of the Sun, only possible because Selene's presence confined the trolls and prevented the Darkness gods from interfering with the Lightbringers' Quest, the Great Compromise was negotiated, dividing the cycle of the hours into day and night, but it was held that Selene deserved a place of reverence and all the Gods of Light, or who had cause to dislike the dark, voted that she should continue to invade the darkness. Others perceived that this Light could be, and appeared, bright and wholesome, but was still tainted with Darkness and Chaos. Some thought it had driven its creator mad also. The new element proved flawed and drove some insane who worshipped it. She ceased to follow the mainstream chaos cults. However, having become a Deity of Light, she had changed her world-view and without sacrificing her chaos power. This element invaded the darkness and enabled Selene to attack the trolls and other darkness deities. Selene saw that she needed a light for her powers to function adequately and so created or discovered the element of Moon. During all this time she could only function in only those places where light fell, but when Zorak Zoran slew the sun, the world was plunged into darkness, and the power of illusion was useless in the dark. Where her brethren raised up whatever weapons and powers they could find, Selene chose to wield weapons that did not exist! She fought well and was extremely successful, especially in countering the Truth cults.
But one deity instead sought a different way.
When the Devil invaded the world during the Rent, most of his progeny either made or seized a form for themselves.
