> What's the authoritative source on Natha?

ILH-2 ;-) Natha is the current form - and thus current name - of the Cyclical Power. She is currently red, but has previously been white, a different red, two different blues, black and invisible and in due course will change again to white. Natha began as Zaytenera, daughter of Yelm, whose life was perfect and unsullied by any experience. Then she spied and followed a god of change and began to have experiences, becoming Verithurusa. The Old Gods resented her bringing change and blamed her for the Darkness. They slowly stripped her of her divine power during the Gods War. Yet she survived, though just barely, hidden as a reborn soul among human beings. At times her divine spark ignited and she appeared as an avatar, but always she faded back into the cycles again. At last the Seven Mothers freed her, and after arduous adventures and terrible wars she recovered the lost parts of her soul and ascended into the sky.

Natha is the reincarnating Moon Goddess. When she dies, she is always reborn, sometimes (but not always) as another aspect, but always in a different body, whether mortal or divine. She has seven forms, each manifesting a different power of cyclicism and a different stage of her life. The current form of the Cyclical Goddess is known as Natha, and the default subcult members join is Natha the Red Moon, although they can choose to join her other aspects instead.

Hope that helps.

All the best

Mark
