Moons

The Moons, or Greater Deities, are shards of one or multiple Planets that have broken off, in some cases combined, and attained wills of their own; usually choosing a sphere of patronage soon after their 'birth'. It is the prevalence of this sphere of patronage and faith in the Moon itself that it treats as 'food', sustaining itself and growing in power the more of either there is; however, like any living creature, it is possible for a Moon to be 'overfed'. As a result, Moons choose limited spheres of influence (e.g. Dishonour, Day, Souls, Curses, etc...) in order to keep their food source focused, encouraging slow, consistent growth.

Not every shard of planet, or even moon in the astronomical sense, is necessarily a 'Moon' in a divine context; as there are plenty of non-sentient celestial bodies in the system of Sol that behave as they naturally should.

Planets often interact with significant mortals, whether directly or indirectly, and seem heavily invested in mortal affairs. This contact usually takes the form of enigmatic messages delivered through oracles or clerics, or even rewards granted to the pious. However, The Moons cannot walk upon Vulcan in their true forms, as such an action would cause apocalyptic amounts of disaster; therefore, if a Moon deems its direct presence necessary, it will send a micrometeoroid of its form to the place it desires to walk, this will take an avatar of its choosing and act as a direct extension of the Moon's will.
