# Star
Naboth is a small green star that radiates with a bright, emerald-green light. It is much smaller than its binary partner, [[Olearius]], with a radius sixteen times smaller than its larger partner. Naboth is also one-sixth the mass of [[Olearius]], and is slowly accreting mass through a transfer of stellar gas—as gravity pulls a long trail of stellar gas from [[Naboth]] and draws it into Olearius.
Because the planet [[Mobius]] is the origin of intelligent life in the system as well as the dominant political and cultural power, the entire system consisting of [[Olearius]], Naboth and all their satellites is commonly referred to as the "[[Mobius System]]" with scientists and non-native alien species sometimes using the more technical designation "Mobius _AB_" to refer to the system, with "Mobius _A_" referring to [[Olearius]] and "Mobius _B_" referring to Naboth.
# Deity
Naboth is the goddess of life, light, relationships, and the [[Overworld]]. She is the wife of [[Olearius]]. Her iconography usually presents her as a dignified, motherly figure, upright or enthroned, crowned with a diadem, sometimes veiled. She is the patron goddess of relationships and marriage. She presides over weddings, blesses and legalizes marital unions, and protects people from harm during childbirth. Her sacred animals include the cuckoo and peacock.
The marriage of Naboth with [[Olearius]] is the main theme in most Mobian festivals celebrated in honor of the goddess. In temples and churches of Naboth, dances and rites are performed by young married people. In Naboth imagery, she rides a flying chariot pulled by peacocks.
Naboth is the goddess of marriage, relationships, and childbirth, and much of her mythology revolves around her marriage with her wife [[Olearius]]. She is charmed by her and she seduces her. But [[Olearius]] cheats on her with the lunar deity [[Peixoto#Deity|Peixoto]]. It is said that after her betrayal at the hands of [[Olearius]], Naboth was embraced by her child, [[Mobius]]—which is why [[Mobius]] is a strip wrapped around the star, Naboth.
