Niminth

One of the four moons, Niminth is the green moon. It orbits the planet once every 40 days, rising in the east and setting in the west along nearly the same plane as the sun.

Niminth is also the Mar god of male fertility — both in the literal sense and metaphorically. Warriors, hunters, and mapmakers pray to Niminth for aid in their efforts nearly as often as do those seeking a lover or bride. In art and literature, he is usually depicted as a naked, well-endowed man in his 30s armed with a spear or marsord. Sometimes all his skin glows bright green, but more often, only his glowing green eyes betray his identity. Green is the color of Energy, which is the myst with which Niminth is most often associated. Niminth is the twin brother and the lover of Sendala — the goddess of female fertility and of the blue moon.
