Lunitari also known as the Lady of the Crimson Moon and Red Sorceress, is a God from the fictional Dragonlance setting.
Description
Lunitari, also known as the Veiled Maiden, Maid of Illusion, and Night Candle, represents the power of magic used for neutrality. She supports wizards who use magic in the name of balance, freedom, and curiosity. She seeks to preserve the balance of good and evil in magic. She is once the power divine force of mystery, but she removes herself from the Hidden Vale and joins her cousins Solinari and Nuitari in order to give magic her closer attention. Her focus instead became the mystery of magic. She is said to come fully born from the thoughts of her father Gilean. She resides in and represents herself through the red moon of Krynn. She tells to her faithful the secrets and discoveries of magic. She is close to Reorx, who sometimes helps her in forging magical artifacts. She, along with Reorx, conspires to trap Chaos in the Graygem, which has led the other Gods of Neutrality to distrust her. She rarely interacts with the Gods of Good and Evil, except for her cousins Solinari and Nuitari, whom she is especially close to, almost always being with them at the meetings of the gods. Her celestial symbol is the red moon, Lunitari.[1]
Lunitari, along with Solinari and Nuitari, puts loyalty to magic ahead of loyalty to the other Gods of her alignment. She is the God of neutral magic, worshipped by red-robed magic users.
Lunitari appears in the sky as a red moon. When the other gods were abandoned by the people of Krynn after the Cataclysm, Lunitari (along with the other two Gods of magic) was still accepted. High Sanction is reached by the moon Lunitari every 28 days; during this period red robed mages experience increased power due to Lunitari's increased influence on the world.
Her moon has only been visited by Sturm Brightblade, Kitiara Uth Matar, and some gnomes in the novel Darkness and Light.
