The Rivenese not loyal to Gehn are known collectively as the Black Moiety or just Moiety. A constant undercurrent of rebellion, the Moiety do their best to undermine Gehn's work and shun those who don't actively stand beside them.

The Moiety were born out of the experience of a couple of villagers at witnessing the confrontation at the Star Fissure between Gehn and Atrus. Although members of a primitive culture, they were able to discern the basic gist of the event, as well as adding their own twist to the story. They came to the conclusion that 1. Gehn was a false God, 2. Atrus, having defeated Gehn was a true God, and 3. Catherine, having been chosen by Atrus as his wife, was the Rivenese Messiah, born from the cradle of Riven to lead her people to a new world, post the defeat of Gehn.

Surprisingly, this last assumption came to be somewhat true. During Catherine's return and entrapment on Riven, she wrote a new Age for the Moiety from a discarded, half finished book of Gehn's which she named Tay, where the Moiety built a new home.
