=== Ylanna ===
The Mistress of Music, The Patron of Poets, The Saint of Stage, Ylanna is the Goddess of Music and Celebration of the Imperial Pantheon and loves great shows. She often watches shows in taverns and is credited with sparks of inspiration with musicians and poets. She loves nothing more than grand, heart tugging ballets. She tries to make friends with just about anyone in the Pantheon willing to have fun, including Arianne, and by extension, Leusfiette, Lyra, and by extension, Vidya, Kaelus, and Nyxara the Dreamweaver. She is also on good terms with Thalia, calling her the 'mother of the pantheon.' Just like music and poetry, Ylanna is always changing, especially in appearance and it is rare for the goddess to ever appear twice in the same form. Whenever she is around, everyone around can also hear a specific melody, though they can never pinpoint the exact notes in it, just that it is the best melodies ever heard. Generally, she is a very light hearted and fun to be around goddess, and just being near her supposedly puts you in a festive move, even when you're at your worst.
=== Biography ===
Not much is know about Ylanna, but it is know she loved music. It is also known that soon after ascending, she personally invented the viola, a stringed instrument played with a special stick with fine horse hairs on it. Some believe that Ylanna was her stage name and that she hides her real name, though there is no leads to what that real name could be. Though she has been around for a very long time, no one truly knows exactly how, why, or when she ascended. In her early days she loved preforming grand plays of battles from The Old Empire, recreating battles from the War of Suli Extermination. She is believed to bless songwriters with the perfect rhyme they need and poets with the greatest word choice possible for the figurative language, but it is unconfirmed whether it is actually her. A scholar once asked her about her history and she replied "my story is so boring. I would much prefer sing of the epic tales of heroes of past and present." While she hates talking about her distant past, she loves talking about her friends and her relationships with them.
==== Trivia ====
Lady Vidya receives private lessons from Ylanna to try to get better at one of the only things she has yet to master, music. Frustrated with the lack of range on most instruments, Vidya invented the piano. She began teaching her after a trade with Lyra. Lyra has been around forever and has explored just about everywhere, meaning Ylanna values the material Lyra has in her mind.
Ylanna is known to love bards, seeing them almost like clerics of hers. 
Instead of the standard temple, Ylanna's places of prayer include music halls, studios, stages, and generally anywhere you can perform.
Ylanna expects her clerics to not fight unless as lost resort, but instead to stall and distract enemies while inspiring and boosting allies. If one of her clerics does have to fight, she wishes for them to do so in a grand displace of choreography.
It is believed that when a performer is very good, Ylanna's avatar will show up to enjoy the show and will bless the performer by concealing any nervousness they may have and keeping away drowsiness for longer performances. If a performer is very good, Ylanna may even greet them, either telepathically or in person privately.
Ylanna is seen as pretty mortal for an Intermediate Goddess, and some scholars believe it's because of the sheer popularity of her domains. Ylanna must take great care whenever she does personally show anywhere, usually sending a sliver of her avatar, making it hard to do anything meaningful, but also ensuring she won't blow up the entire region during the bass drop.
==== Relationships ====
While Ylanna is not known to be in a romantic relationship, she does have many platonic relationships within the Pantheon, thought the nature of these relationships are pure speculation.

Arianne- The two love talking about past love stories together, and enjoy watching present love stories play our.

Leusfiette- Leusfiette has had to remind Ylanna many times that musicians do not need to swear redemption after messing up a note. Besides that, it is unknown what the two spend hours talking about.
Lyra- One of the closest friends of the Goddess, Lyra, Ylanna, and Arianne plan activates to do with the less socially outward Vidya and Leusfiette.
