A couple of years ago Tama went on a quest, some combination of vision quest, Gloranthan heroquest, and divine trial, and when they came back they were filled with Sehanine's moonlight. (They're not sure themself exactly what happened and they definitely can't describe it; I'm imagining it something like the characters' journey up the Tree of Life in Promethea where things get more and more symbolic.) I'm going to say that going on this type of quest is a typical part of being raised to a certain rank in the priesthood, but most come back with prophecies or commandments whereas this character came back as a vessel of Sehanine's living will, which may have placed her somewhat outside the normal hierarchies.

===Cleric Moves===
'''Goddess:''' Sehanine | '''Tenet:''' Seek new experiences | '''Domains:''' The Moon, Deception<br>
Favor 10/10

*'''Disciple''' - You are a vessel of divine will, charged with promoting and defending your faith. Favor represents your current standing in the eyes of your deity. The maximum favor you may hold at any time is equal to your current level +CHA. You start play with maximum favor. 
**When you ''make any move roll that falls within the domain of your deity'', you may spend favor before you roll the dice to increase the result by +1 for each point of favor spent.
*'''Pray''' - When you '''take the necessary time to commune with your deity''', say what that looks like and roll +CHA, taking +1 if you bear your holy symbol, and +1 if you occupy a place sacred to your faith: '''on a 10+''', your prayers are head - restore your favor to maximum, '''on a 7-9''', gain 1 favor; '''on a 6-''', mark the ability used, and the Judge makes a move.
*'''Convert''' - When you ''convince a nonbeliever to join your faith'', gain 1 XP or 2 favor (your choice).
*'''Lay on Hands''' - When you ''call upon the power of your deity to heal a living thing which you are touching'', burn 1 Constitution and roll +CHA: '''on a 10+''', they heal hit points and/or ability points equal to double your current favor; '''on a 7-9''', they heal hit points and/or ability points equal to your current favor; '''on a 6-''', mark the ability used, and the Judge makes a move. You may not lay hands on yourself or a creature of opposite Alignment.
*'''Invoke''' - When you ''call upon your deity to manifest their power'', say what you want to have happen and how it falls within at least one of your deity’s domains. The Judge will assign your request '''hubris''' from 0 (''insignificant'') to 6 (''miraculous''). Then, roll -hubris, +1 if you bear your holy symbol, and +1 if you occupy a place sacred to your faith: '''on a 10+''', your request is granted with duration 3, and may be made permanent if you perma-burn 1 ability point of your choice per point of hubris; '''on a 7-9''', your request is granted with duration 1, but your deity demands proof of devotion—the Judge chooses 1 from the list below; '''on a 6-''', mark XP, and the Judge makes a move.
**'''Sacrifice''': take -1 ongoing to Pray until you destroy or tithe something of the Judge’s choosing (silver, blood, something of symbolic significance to your faith, etc.)
**'''Exemplify''': take -1 ongoing to Invoke until you satisfy your tenet
**'''Atone''': take -1 ongoing to Invoke until you gain at least 1 favor
**'''Evangelize''': take -1 ongoing to Invoke until you Convert a nonbeliever
**'''Redeem''': you may not Invoke again until you complete a trial of the Judge’s choosing
**'''Suffer''': perma-burn 1 point of an ability of the Judge’s choice

===Thief Moves===
Cunning 8/8

*'''Tricks of the Trade''' - Areas of expertise: Stealth, Acrobatics, Disguise, Negotiation
**When you ''take the time to bathe in moonlight and plot your next move'', reset your cunning to its maximum.
**When you ''make any move that falls within an area of your expertise'', after you roll you may increase the result by 1 for each point of cunning you choose to spend.
*'''Hide in shadows''' - When you ''are out of sight and remain quiet and still'', you may spend 1 cunning to go unnoticed until you act or until someone is right on top of you (whichever comes first).
*'''Move Silently''' - When you ''sneak from one place to another'', name a destination within sight and roll +DEX: '''on a 10+''', you get there and take +1 forward against whomever failed to notice you; '''on a 7-9''', choose 1 from the list below; '''on a 6-''', mark Dexterity and the Judge makes a move.
**They notice you before you get there, but you have the upper hand and take +1 forward
**You have to stop when you’re only part way there, or else they’ll notice you
**They notice you as soon as you reach your goal, and you take -1 forward
*'''Pick Locks & Disarm traps''' - When you ''attempt to neutralize or circumvent a mechanical device with the proper tools'', roll +DEX: '''on a 10+''', you do it, as well as could be expected; '''on a 7-9''', you do it, but the Judge chooses 1 from the list below; '''on a 6-''', mark Dexterity and the Judge makes a move.

**It’ll work, but there’s a hitch (ask the Judge what)

*'''Purloin''' - When you ''surreptitiously swipe something out from under someone’s nose'', roll +DEX: '''on a 10+''', it’s yours, and they won’t notice until they look for it; '''on a 7-9''', it’s yours, but they notice it’s gone right away; on a '''6-''', mark Dexterity and the Judge makes a move.
*'''Backstab''' - When you ''use a hand weapon to attack a surprised or defenseless target'', deal your damage and roll +DEX: '''on a 10+''', choose 2 from the list below; '''on a 7-9''', choose 1; '''on a 6-''', mark Dexterity and the Judge makes a move.
**You deal your damage again
**You slip immediately out of your target’s reach
**You create an advantage—describe it, and the next person to exploit it takes +1 forward

===Advanced Moves===
*'''Defender of the Faith''' - When you ''face a threat that would do harm to someone or something of value to your deity'', you may spend favor to gain temporary armor for as long as the threat persists, at a cost of 1 favor per 1 point of armor. This armor blocks physical damage, as well as any damage from sources within or directly opposed to your deity’s domain.
*'''Missionary''' - When you ''spend a day spreading the teachings of your faith to the locals'', restore your favor to maximum and take +1 forward to Negotiate with or Recruit a potential convert.

Silver in Hand:

===Notes===
*She still carries her birthname of '''Tama''', but since her ascension the faithful have taken to calling her '''Moonblood'''. (I'm going with female pronouns because I've been thinking of her as female and it makes it a bit easier for me to write as well. I imagine Sehanine's followers aren't particularly concerned about gender and amongst themselves they may use different forms of address.) By title she's a '''Priestess''' (again, they would have a gender neutral term for it), a '''Silvern Traveller''' from her quest to gain the favor of Sehanine, and an '''Envoy of the Moonlight Seat''' charged to go into the outside world and protect and strengthen the faithful outside Rahesh.
