Tele

Telekanti, or Tele, is one of Terra Avium's two moons. Tele is the white moon, and the main moon in Terra Avium, and the one moon that works the most similarly to Earth's moon. In the Material Realm, Tele is seen as a bright white moon travelling across the night sky. In the Spiritual Realm, Tele is a pocket dimension that contains the palace and sanctuary of the current Moon Goddess, Uoira Alarae.

During Qwui's reign, Tele didn't have phases - which symbolised the utter perfection of Qwui's skill and grasp on moonlight, and also the unsplitted Lunarian Ring which was whole. During Uoira's reigh, however, the Lunarian Ring was split - forming phases of the moon. Furthermore, it represented Uoira's mortal background paired with her skill as not being as perfect as Qwui. The symbolism was also poetic, as it implies the imperfect nature of birdkind.

## PALACE OF TELE

Tele, like any other Godly places, has a palace dedicated to that God or Deity. The most significant place in the palace of Tele is its throneroom. The throneroom is marble white, with perfect symmetry that reflects moonlight to form both a breath-taking piece of artwork and architecture. The whole palace gives a very dreamy feeling but brigh, blurry, and very angelic.

Around the Throne of Tele is clear water, resembling the waves and the oceans in which the moon can command. The Moon Deity can shape the water and control it, bringing tides and waves to Terra Avium. On the walls are stars twinkling in the forever night, with floating candles drifting. Whenever any divine deity moves in this palace, it leaves an after-image, making it look like a piece of fine silk drifting after the deity.

Above the Throne of Tele is the Lunarian Ring, a divine artifact crafted by the original moon Goddess - Qwui. The Lunarian Ring is the central source of power that directs moonlight all across Tele and Terra Avium. It also acts as a key to unlock moonlight and control of the waves. In the Palace of Tele, there lies only half of the Lunarian Ring, with the other half in the Palace of Nili.

The Throne of Tele is round - similar to the shape of Tele. It is rather simple in design, with only a round white throne that vibrates light. The Throne can be shifted and floated around by the will of the Moon Goddess. Fine steps of ice would form whenever the Goddess steps onto the throne, and off.

The Throne is another key which opens the gateway between the Material and Spiritual and Tele's Pocket Dimension. The Throne signifies authority, and symbolic of Tele itself. The Lunarian Ring channels the moonlight, and the Throne helps the Lunarian Ring reach Terra Avium, opening a path. The Throne is made out of 8 shards (the Moonshards), representing 8 different aspects of Tele. Without the Throne, moonlight cannot reach Terra Avium. Without the Lunarian Ring, moonlight wouldn't able to be carried. The Throne as a key to a flowing path river, and the Lunarian Ring is the boat which carries that moonlight

Angelic songs and vocals echos throughout the palaces, sung by music spirits and shards of the moon manifested to praise the Moon Goddess and sing of the stories of Tele and Terra Avium. The songs are also accompanied by harps and flutes. The songs are considered highly holy, and mortals must be given permission if they were to listen to it. In the Whispery Mountains during The Gathering, the songs are also sung, with the Moon Goddess's musicians singing in harmony along with the other God's musicians.

## HISTORY

Before the Gods migrated to Terra Avium, Tele was only a floating rock which orbits the planet. Before Qwui, Tele was dim and without moonlight. The Palace of Tele was abandoned by some previous God before then, with the architecture being forgotten and unmoving in time. Tele was dark and didn't shed light, for it was the Age of Savages. Sometimes, the angry Elementals threw rocks at Tele, forming its iconic craters.

When the Gods migrated, Qwui took sanctuary in Tele, and became the Goddess of the Moon. Qwui created the Lunarian Ring, and set it atop the Throne of Tele, which fuels Tele with moonlight and bringing it to Terra Avium. The Palace of Tele was flooded with light again, and Qwui lived in it and sat on the throne of Tele.

When Qwui went insane after the war of commencement, she made the owls go against each other, marking the beginning of the Great Desolation. She then declared war of the Gods, and led the Elementals as well as the Traitor Gods to destroy everything. This move made the Lunarian Ring corrupt, and used for evil purposes. Moonlight turned red that night, washing Tele in red as the first blood of the war bathed the once white moon.

Tele remained blood red until Theruee found the Blade of Names and striked Qwui with it, stealing her powers as well as her moonlight, and used the Sunrazor to destroy her physical form and sent her soul to Undirheim. With moonlight taken away, the Lunarian Ring was deactivated, hence making Tele darkened like it was before the Gods migrated. This marked the first eclipse in Terra Avium, and it stayed dark for thousands of more years afterwards.

For several thousand years, Tele was forgotten and just a dim piece of rock in the sky. However, some time in the Ruins of Aftermath, a keen mortal saw her kind going against one another, and saught a way to reknit birdkind. That Avian was Uoira, who faced multiple challenges (namely the 8 Trials of Silverlight), collected the 8 Moonshards. The Moonshards formed the Throne of Tele, opening a path between Tele and Terra Avium.

Afterwards, Uoira reclaimed moonlight and returned it to Tele. Tele was bathed again in white angelic light, and the reign of Uoira began. Moonlight surged throughout the whole of Tele, and even spreaded to Nili and awakened Ashak.

In the Tales of Tele & Nili, Uoira and Ashak reclaimed the Lunarian Ring, and split it in two to divide amongst each other. Uoira got the Lunarian Ring of moonlight, the night, and the waves. With the Lunarian Ring in place, Uoira was able to unite the Silverlight Owls, using moonlight and Tele to guide them to the Silverlight Forest - forming a country and a nation of united Owls. Tele was back to what it was meant to be - a united moon with the Throne of Tele and the Lunarian Ring in charge.
