	In the conversion to 4e Forgotten Realms; since there were so many gods that some had overlapping portfolios, many were removed and some were mashed together, with little regard for their story (and therefore how much sense it made in-universe to combine them). As there were multiple goddesses of the moon, [[Eilistraee]] was killed off and Selûne was combined with [[Sehanine]], who was the Elven version. This completely ignored the fact that there was little overlap among the 3 goddesses: Sehanine is also, and mainly, the elven deity of death and mysteries, while for Eilistraee, her association with the moon is mostly cosmetic and due to the fact that surface drow are more cofortable by night; she is not a moon goddess and her goals/activities are completely unrelated to that. In any case, in core 4e, Sehanine took the mantle of "moon goddess". In 4e Forgotten Realms it transpired that Sehanine had been an "Aspect" of Selûne all along (or vice versa), even though that made absolutely 0 sense, since Sehanine has always been an interloper, multispheric deity, while Selune is one of the deities involved in the creation myth of Toril, therefore predating the arrival of Sehanine. In any case, while there were two different religions for goddesses of the Moon and they were allowed to have differing origin stories and power levels, in 4e they were in essence the same thing.

For instance: Chauntea thought the universe was a little chilly, so Selûne turned the space heater on ''(presumably awakening [[Lathander\|Amaunator]])''. So having created other deities by the end of their fight like [[Garagos\|Targus]], the original god of war, [[Moander]], the god of decay, [[Jergal]], god of strife, death and the dead, they had pretty much escalated their little cat fight up to a full blown military conflict!
