Ionshemon, The Silent Prince

the sombre and serene god of the moon. A strange and enigmatic deity his plans and desires are rarely understood. He takes the form of a handsome young man with single red eye and rams horns.

## Personality

Ionshemon is a largely cynical and compassionless deity, peering down unto the shadowy night without a single care. Despite this he is incredibly perceptive, far more than his sister, Shenunsi, knowing almost all things that take place within the night. However he isn't very liberal with this knowledge, he has one of the greatest of the collections of infromation, that many constantly search for, but he rarely gives it out. He is often hailed as a god of knowledge, however this title is also often paired with being the god of secrets
When it comes to his family his behaviour tends to emulate his mother, Hersped. He rarely shows affection and appears to actively resent his twin sister, Shenunsi, and father, Septmet. However he does tend to show favour to his mother and aunts, in more subtle ways, such as hiding their paths during the night from his other family members.

In his interactions with mortals he is contrary and withholding. Rarely being truthful but never outright lying. He will only ever tell the truth to the people who effectively outwit him. He values wit and deceitfulness being the patron of liars, thieves and secret keepers.

## Divine realm

Ionshemon shares the highest level of the high-world, Exodom with his sister, Shenunsi. He travels across the sky in his silver archives watching the night from his chariot.

## Activities

it is Ionshemon's purpose is to act as the moon, travelling across the sky in the depths of the night providing only a hint of illumination, each night he takes that illumination away until there's nothing left,  then gradually giving it back. His reasoning for this remaining completely unknown.

As the night goes on he listens to the words of his spies, the subjects of the king of bats who fly down to mid world, hearing and seeing all that they can. Sleeping during the day with their ears open to the thrown away truthes.

During the day when his sister holds the sky he disappears from all sight, he does not enter Low-world in the same way she does and appears to simply cease to be until the night encompasses the world again. Many believe that he has, using his vast knowledge, found hidden pathways through the worlds.

## Relationships

* Shenunsi: the two have a strange relationship. He keeps his distance from her at all times and she constantly tries to reach him. They haven't actually met in many, many years
* Septmet: Ionshemon resents his farther. The reasoning behind this has been never made clear, but he is aware of his sons emotions and mention of him sends the sky dark with storm clouds
* Hersped: the two have a mutual, silent affection. They rarely converse and when they do their words are swift and simple. But love for one is an intense thing, of course no one would be at fault for missing it.
* Twillferna & Kulls Donbane: Ionshemon finds his aunts interesting, and thoroughly amusing. When he meets either they treat him with an uncharacteristically pleasant demeanour, no one really knows why.
