Dara Happa Stirs question

[tempestari]

Hi!
Now I'm preparing the Dara Happa Stirs campaign (it's an excellent book) and i've read a reference of a cult that can't found nowhere.
That god is Sedenya and it's an outlawed god in Dara Happa.

I've found nothing about that god in any of the RuneQuest books that I have.
(and I've a lot...). Can anyone help me? Which god is Sedenya?

Thank you!

Sedendya is what becomes the Red Moon from the 3rd Age, at least the cyclical power of the Red Moon.

Thank you very much!

And she grants some interesting magic to her worshippers in Dara Happa Stirs.

I was surprised to see her, not that it doesn't make sense - I just wasn't expecting it.

Another one of the excellent little nuggets to be found in the supplement.

Yes, Sedenya is born of Lesilla, and although the name is known in the Second Age, it isn't until the Third Age, with the rise of the Red Moon, that Sedenya's name becomes of any real potency.

Outlawed gods aren't that uncommon in Dara Happa. When Yelm was killed by Orlanth, it allowed all kinds of rebellion to take place that saw many false gods trying to fill the power vacuum. Antirius attempted to stabilise things but goddesses like Lesilla saw an opportunity to realise some power and took it.

If you're interested in the deeper cosmology, I'd recommend reading both 'Glorious ReAscent of Yelm' and 'Fortunate Succession'. These are Dara Happa foundation documents and provide a far deeper treatment of what happened when Yelm was killed. You'll also find out what happens between the end of the Second Age and the beginning of the Third, which can be worked into your Dara Happan campaign without too much difficulty.

As I saw it, what happens in Mernita begins the process that will eventually see Sedenya's rise, so it was fun to play around with the very, very beginnings of what will become the Lunar Empire.
