Has Selune or any priestesses of Selune been in any novels as a main character?

It seems like Selune never gets any exposure. Hopefully that will change in 4th edition novels.

Thanks to any who can help

IIRC, there're clergy of Selune in the Sembia novel Black Wolf and the much older Finder's Stone novel The Wyvern's Spur. Both portrayed Selune's church positively, but neither have Selune's clergy as the protagonist.

There's a fallen/heretical church of Selune in RAS' Sellswords novel Road to the Patriarch, but, once again, they're not the protagonists....

I hope that helps!

I think the werewolf priestess does have a pretty major role at least (as well as serving as Designated Love Interest). Been a while.

Then, of course, there's also Tymora's Luck, and the Dungeons & Dragons comics in which Selūne herself make an appearance.

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Indeed. Selūne was in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comic, published by TSR and DC, way back in the late eighties-early nineties timeframe. However, though she did have frequent appearances, she wasn't one of the major characters.

Yes, and she (Feena) is also the protagonist of Mistress of the Night.

I liked it quite a bit, it is worth looking for!

I thought so. The progatonist is smart and is actually proactive rather than reactive.

You're welcome.
