While Ixion is more or less the Immortal of the Sun, there doesn't seem to be an Immortal of the Moon(s) of Mystara. Or is there someone I'm forgetting?

Asterius, IIRC, is the major Immortal of the Moon.

Seems to me there is an Immortal (Valerias?) who is known by the name Matera to the Hollow World Milenians. Matera, of course, being the visible moon of Mystara.

Asterius is commonly associated to the moon only because his symbol is a silver moon (or a silver coin, as some say, given his inclinations), but he has virtually nothing to do with that astral body (unless you think that moon can be associated with thievery).

VANYA is called Matera in Milenia in the Hollow World, but since Milenia is in the Hollow World and it has NO MOONS, then by all means Vanya CANNOT be linked to the moon ;)

Nyx and Hel are associated with DARKNESS, NIGHT and COLD, certainly not with the moon.

I think a good choice for a moon related immortal is Valerias: she's Ixion's mate, and "the other half of the sky" so to speak :p
Moreover she's very mercurial (also given her alignment) and associated with romanticism, and moon is a key symbol of romantic love. :embarrass

Nyx and Hel are associated with DARKNESS, NIGHT and COLD, certainly not with the moon.

But the moon is also associated with darkness, night, and cold. I'll go checking to have a look to see if any of the entropics use the moon as a symbol.

It makes a kind of sense that as an immortal of energy and light is associated with the sun, it should be an immortal of entropy and darkness that claims to symbolise the moon. But as Pandius is located there, perhaps none of the immortals should lay claim symbolise the moon.
