Moon (Terran myth)

Moon is a character in Proto-Terran Mythology and its descendant religions. She is a tragic character who embodies the Moon and a central goddess of the Terran pantheon.

Origin
Moon was conceived of as the Pliant counterpart to Sky's Vital and Ground's Virile. Her stories served two purposes: to explain certain cosmological and natural objects and events, and to be a rhetorical device for Vital designated salticids to control Pliant designated salticids. The Moon as it is in the sky is explained as Moon's sleeping sac, with her parasite being the catalyst for an imagined apocalypse.

Interpretations
Most Terran cultures share the concept of the Four Tragedies of Moon, a long-form tale explaining Moon's greatest sin: wronging the Great Flower and destroying the paradise enjoyed by the very first salticids. Moon is used as an example in many cultures, especially those with rigid gender hierarchies, of how Pliants should behave, with the consequences of stepping out of line being severe as exemplified in the story.
