Milil
The Lord of all Songs (a.k.a. One True Hand of All-Wise Oghma)
Milil is the perfect artist; confident, inspired, obsessed with anything he deems worth remembering. He is well formed and educated, skilled in all forms of art, especially in his spheres of knowledge - music, poetry and rhetoric.
Despite these positive qualities, like so many artists he is also self-centered, egotistical and quickly bored as soon as the general attention turns away from him. He also enjoys making love to mortals and gods alike, fascinated by the feelings that can be aroused in this way. He thus represents more the completed thought, the process that takes an idea from concept to completion. As a result, Milil's ethos teaches us to see the world as a progressive process, a song that begins with birth and only grows quieter with death. Most of Milil's clerics (who often dress in crimson, adorned with golden animal shapes), as well as many other servants such as bards and orators, spend a lot of time teaching and learning song lyrics, playing instruments or the correct modulation of the voice. Milil serves Oghma loyally, while he has a slightly strained relationship with Gond. He is deeply attached to Mystra, Sune and Lliira.

Tenets of Faith
Life is a song that begins at birth. Always strive to complete the song and drive it to its greatest beauty, not just the lyrics or the melodies.
Never destroy instruments or music, nor disturb a singer before he finishes his performance.
Listen to the world around you and fill it equally with your own songs.
All music is good as long as someone enjoys it.
Spread songs and musicianship as often as you can and sing with Milil every day.
Music is the most precious thing that peoples can create, so support its practice, use, and creation at all times.
Awaken the love of music wherever you are and in whomever you meet.
