The Lunacatalogia

This piece is intriguing and frustrating in equal measure, given Mianmo’s unreliability as an insight into the world she inhabited. If we could trust her Lunacatalogia, it would have major impacts on the archaeological record, given her seeming reliance on the narrative presented in the Lives of Sedenya document (famously translated by G. Stafford) over the more recently unearthed Lunar Way Annals. This is most notable in Mianmo's treatment of the Seven Mothers, particularly relying on its seemingly fantastical details of the Goddess's Descent and the First Battle of Chaos. It can also be seen in her high-mythic presentation of the Crimson Bat, rather than its more naturalistic origins in other sources.

However, she claims in notes elsewhere that this was all vouchsafed to her by her friend Mesyllandre Otoros, and literary analysis has suggested that there are some startling heterodoxies contained within. All we can say for sure is that Mianmo here claims to represent the views of one specific Etyries-worshipper, which means that the arguments about the esoteric religious beliefs of the Lunar Empire will likely continue with the regularity of the Moon’s own phases.

Research into the whereabouts of the text of her once-referenced Lunacatalogia 2: Addi and Send Valu remains ongoing.
