The sun, guided by Sol, blazed brilliantly during the day, but when evening came, the world was plunged into complete darkness, leaving mortals and immortals alike to stumble blindly through the shadows.

  The Æsir knew they needed someone to guide a gentler light through the night sky – someone patient, steady, and brave enough to face the dangers that lurked in the darkness. They chose Mani, a god whose name means “Moon,” and whose heart was as pure as moonbeams and as constant as the tides.
