Bulon La Mogoaw is the moon goddess of the T'boli and the supreme female deity of their pantheon, consort of the sun god Kadaw La Sambad. The two occupy the seventh and highest heaven and together engender the seven sons and seven daughters of the creation cycle. As the lunar counterpart within the cosmic dyad she complements the solar Kadaw, the pair embodying the ordered alternation of day and night at the summit of the layered T'boli universe. Her children include the warrior Cumucul, Sfedat whose corpse becomes the earth, and the demiurge D'wata.
