LLIIRA

Goddess of Joy

DnD Beyond Forgotten Realms Reddit

Description: Lliira (pronounced: LEER-ah), known as Our Lady of Joy, was a good lesser deity. Lliira was a beloved goddess, a deity of contentment, release, joy, happiness, dance, and freedom. As the patron of festivals, she was honored at any celebration, and dance was the primary way to worship her. The Mistress of Revels was said to abhor violence, and any fighting or drawing of weapons (except in ceremony) at a celebration would cause her to withhold her favor.
Personality: Lliira hated most forms of violence, especially at celebrations. She was known to withhold her blessing from celebrations marred by it.
Following: Her priests and priestesses, known as joybringers, took it as their mission to make other people happy, even if just for a moment. Her faithful would always wear at least one clothing item of a bright, cheerful color, and her priests' vestments had more in common with festival attire than with somber ecclesial garments. Rubies and sapphires were sacred to 'Our Lady of Joy', and her priests blessed anyone they saw wearing such adornments. Lliira's followers weren't frivolous, however. To them, divine joy was a very real gift to the world of mortals, and one much needed. To that end, they fought those who would bring misery to others. They were fierce against their foes, and joyous revelers when their work was done.
