Background Information

A wide-brimmed, pointed mage's hat known as the favored headdress of the Star Sibyl Shanlili, preeminent sorceress and founding mother of the Crystal Era. "Moonseer" -as she lovingly referred to the cap- is adorned with a crescent moon of brass, befitting its mistress's zeal for astronomy. The slight upward curl of the brim was introduced so as not to impair the wearer's field of vision when gazing at the heavens. In the present age, its primary use is ceremonial, as an honor bestowed upon only the most accomplished students of magic on their graduation day.

Historical Background

Selenian likely comes from the more commonly written selenium from the Greek word selene meaning "Moon". Selenium is also the name of a chemical element named in honor of the moon. Selenium has an atomic number 34, represented by the chemical symbol Se, and an atomic mass of 78.96. It is a nonmetal, chemically related to sulfur and tellurium (from the Latin tellus meaning "earth"), and rarely occurs in its elemental state in nature.
