Leira has quite a small following. Not widely worshiped, the majority of her worshipers are users of illusion magic.
Her priests, known as Leirans, or Worshipers of the Mistshadow, wear silver masks and often disguise themselves to deceive those around them. Leirans would speak the truth only to other Leirans. High-level clerics of the Leiran faith are called Mistcallers.
Every morning, and on every moonlit night, Leirans lay face down and pray to the Lady of the Mists. If there was any mist, Leirans would walk through it and pray. The most revered act in the Leiran faith was the "Unmasking", a purification ritual performed when new followers entered the faith or if a follower changed rank. During the ritual, the follower would walk barefaced among its peers while the clergy would hold up candles and reflective surfaces.
Leira was slain by the new deity of lies, Cyric, wielding the sword Godsbane, which was in fact an avatar of The Mask. Her portfolios were subsequently absorbed by the mad god.
Upon her death, her godly power erupted in a blast that reached her places of worship all across Faerûn. Motes of her divinity coalesced into incorporeal beings known as glamers.
