Iallanis (EEuh-lan-is)

One of Annam's favorite children, Iallanis was introduced to the Jotunbrud and their struggles while still an adolescent. She assumed her spot in the Ordning shortly thereafter.
Iallanis advocates love, forgiveness, beauty, and mercy. She never turns a giant of a good nature from her flock. Iallanis is particularly beloved by the stone giants, cloud giants, storm giants, and kin of the Essalrang. She is said to have sired the swanmay with the naiad Fionnghuala.
At some point in the Thousand Year War, the Seldarine under Corellon allied with the dragons when they invaded Fomoria from beyond the Arbonesse because they wanted the giants' land in the Mirror Realm. The giants fought, lost, were driven out, their land was taken, and Lúnofion was founded on it once it was under the elves' control. Unlike her brothers, Iallanis did not fight the invaders but stayed at home and was not driven out like them by the Seldarine. It is said that she still resides in the Feywild to this day.
Presently, Iallanis serves as the Lady of the Pools, watching over the elemental locus of water at the headwaters of the Arbonesse.

Worshippers of Iallanis

Iallanis will accept any good-aligned true giant as a priest or shaman on equal terms. Prior to the cataclysm she'd even accept kin as equals, though her father and Stronmaus have both forbidden such a policy as a violation of ordning.

Hierarchy

Novices in the service of Iallanis are called Buds. Full priests of the Floral Giant are called Bloomsisters and Bloombrothers, and collectively are known as Bloomchildren. In ascending order of rank, the titles used by Iallanan priests are White Lily, Yellow Daffodil, Orange Poppy, Blue Violet, Purple Orchid, and Red Rose. High-ranking priests have unique individual titles. Specialty priests are known as Florani and druids. Florani tend to be associated with specific tribes, while druids wander from place to place and maintain holy sites.

Duties of the Priesthood

Iallanis's priests chiefly concern themselves with keeping the Jotunbrud united, dispersing mercy and absolution to those in need, and creating things of beauty.

• An evil deed never goes unpunished nor a good deed unrewarded
• Kindness is the milk of might; passion is the milk of life.

Holidays

Each year, on the first day of spring, all of Iallanis' priests assemble in one of the giant steadings for a grand revelry. If possible, a marriage is performed at the height of this celebration. Since a marriage performed under these circumstances is considered a great honor among the Jotunbrud, most of the important members of Jotunbrud society wait until the spring ceremony to wed.
