The following interpretation was written by Aaliyah. Aaliyah is neither a noble of Abington nor a member of the Aristoi. She is a "Scholar of Dawn", a member of the Guardians of Twilight that follows the path of Luna. However, she is also a member of the Arete family, which is based in Riverholm, the former capital of Abington, and in frequent communication with her sister, Aeryn, the Prophet of Aristoi Atamarism. Thus, Aaliyah is intimately familiar with Aristoi Atamarism, and considers the Old Testament of the Aristoi to be a variant of her own faith.


The History of the Twilight v. Genesis & Exodus

Luna v. Kalos

Luna is described by the Guardians of Twilight as the "Bringer of Light". Taken verbatum from the teachings of the Guardians, "She helps us see truth in the midst of lies" and "it is to her that we owe the balance". Kalos, on the other hand, is described by the Aristoi as "all things beautiful", and through her the Abingtonians learned how to communicate, and began gathering information "such as lists and bulletins and maps". These things were revealed to the Abingtonians through "harmony".

The most obvious similarity between Luna and Kalos is that they are both goddesses (as opposed to gods). But there are parallels between all of their most important features. What better way is there to "see truth in the midst of lies" but through the collection and communication of information? And could there be balance without harmony, or harmony without balance?

Thus, it should be clear that Luna and Kalos are really the same goddess. The Guardians and the Aristoi simply refer to her by different names.
