Sendala
One of the four moons, Sendala is the blue moon. It orbits the planet from pole to pole, completing one cycle every 80 days, rising in the east and setting in the west along a different plane each day.
Sendala is also the goddess of female fertility — both in the literal sense and metaphorically. Mothers, wild rice harvesters, community elders, and healers pray to Sendala for aid in their efforts nearly as often as do those seeking a lover or husband. In art and literature, she is usually depicted as a naked, large-breasted woman in her 20s carrying a cattail, medicine bag, or a bowl. Sometimes all her skin glows a radient blue, but more often, only her glowing blue eyes betray her identity. Blue is the color of Power, which is the myst with which Sendala is most often associated. Sendala is the twin sister and lover of Niminth — the god of male fertility and of the green moon.
