Milil Milil ( pronounced " mil - LILL " ) , also known as the One Who Watches While Music is Alive and the Guardian of Singers and Troubadours , is a good exarch of Oghma . He is depicted in religious art and song as a handsome male human or elf with a charismatic manner and a haunting , melodic voice . He is venerated by human , elf , and half - elf , bards . Milil is the ultimate performer : self - confident , inspired , possessed of total recall or anything he sets a mind to remember , able to improvise facilely out of desire or necessity , well - educated in general theories of conduct and broad areas of knowledge , and masterful in all sorts of performance technique ( including a passing knowledge of disguise derived from costume theory ) , especially within his sphere of knowledge — music , poetry , and elegant speech . However , he is also self - centered and egotistical and likes to be the center of attention . When he is not the center of attention , he bores easily , and his mind wanders or he leaves . He is also given to flirtation with both deities and mortals for his own enjoyment , to deep annoyance of more sober powers . Milil often manifests as haunting music , particularly in clearing deep in woodlands . He appears as a wordless , lone male voice soaring through the air where no singer can be seen . At times , Milil draws the image of two dancing hollyphant s in the air in glowing yellow lines or in ink ( that appears from nowhere ) on parchment to signify his approval . This seems to indicate his delight in watching such creatures dance to his music . More often , Milil manifests as a radiance surrounding a bard , storyteller , or epic poet in the throes of inspiration — a sight always heralding a performance that moves an audience to tears , blind obedience , enthusiastic offerings of money , or whatever else the performer desires them to do . Milil often places helpful visions ( mental pictures of the whereabouts of treasure , lost loved ones , or directions overland ) in the mind of a singer or musician who pleases him . Milil also acts through the appearance or presence of aasimar ( all accomplished singers ) , hollyphants , light aasimons , movanic deva s and solar s . More commonly he sends songbirds especially nightingales , white horses or pegasi , calico cats , red or yellow roses , lilies , peonies , perfect gemstones of any sort , and peregrine falcons to show his favor and as a sign to inspire his faithful . Followers . Clerics of Milil , or Sorlyns as they are called , pray for spells upon awakening at sunrise , calling out to the Lord of Song with the Song of Praise , which is also sung after every victory in battle or great thing that benefits them . Most clerics multiclass as bards . An order of paladin s called the Harmonious Order venerates Milil . This group of personable and swaggering paladins encourages bards ( whom they tolerate despite alignment differences ) to accompany them to create ballads based on their exploits . Their role is to guard Milil ’ s churches and do good works in Milil ’ s name . Relationships . Deneir , Gond , and Milil serve Oghma , though Milil has little in common with Gond , and their relationship is strained . He is on excellent terms with a number of powerful gods , including Mystra and Sune , and often works closely with Lliira . He is welcome in the elf pantheon as well , and considers Finder Wyvernspur to have some promise , although the feeling is not reciprocated . He has earned the enmity of Cyric for his ridiculing ballad about the period of madness the Prince of Lies experienced .
