Nymph

Nymphs are a type of spirit within Thaelis-Y'Aada.
Nymphs are a fickle family of spirits, born of the initial union of the god Manus and Iris, the Queen of Rapture. It is thought by some theologians that the devotion Iris showed towards her nymph children led to her neglect and disfavour of the other gods she birthed (Lec-Ken, Atropal, Szasra, Sheoth and Raniss), and resulted in the dark and generally vengeful aspect most of them now exhibit towards their worshippers.
Nymphs serve their mother as lars, and due to the divine essence of the Allfather, exist in 9 varieties, each containing within them a greater influence of one of the primordial energies. Each of the nymph lines is ruled over by a queen known as a "Muse", and presides over an aspect of high culture, beauty and elegance. The elemental affinity each type of nymph embodies can often lead them to swear allegiance to other deities aside from Iris, and this she tolerates due to her pride in her creations.
Scandalous rumours occasionally circulate concerning Manus and his nymph offspring, citing numerous instances of supposed incestuous infidelity. The clergy of Kaesel and Rinn vociferously assure enquirers that whatever flirtatiousness the Allfather might have shown in the past, his fidelity is now certain. Followers of Iris know better. Due to their innately seductive and lustful nature, nymphs have mothered children with numerous human and fey races, making nymph scions among the most
