Llymayn

**Llymayn** is the Goddess of Light, Passion, Kindness, and Selflessness. Above all else, She encourages Her faithful to fight for their dreams, and to help each other and those in need. Llymayn believes that through these actions, one can inspire others, and instill feelings of benevolence, security, strength, and loyalty in those around them. She hopes that those that receive kindness return the favour to others, making the world a better place as a whole, in turn.

Forgiveness holds a special place in Llymayn's heart, and She believes forgiving others is an act of selflessness and compassion. Without others to show forgiveness to Her in Her time of need, her existence would have ended long ago. Llymayn is known to influence peoples' lives more than the other Gods, something that She is not always good at hiding the majority of the time.

Llymayn's wrath, noted from history, has been stirred by great acts of cruelty, tragedy, and utter disregard for humanity or life.

## Description

Llymayn is depicted as a blonde woman in a loose white gown, often with Her hands raised to the heavens, or looking upwards. In other depictions, She is shown kneeling while a ray of light bathes Her, Her hands clasped together while She gives strength to Her Favoured.

## Mark of Faith

Llymayn's Mark of Faith is a three pointed sun made of gold, often worn as a necklace or on the forehead. Each point represents three aspects of Llymayn's teachings. The first point represents the Dreamer. He is depicted as a man lost in slumber. The Dreamer encourages Llymayn's faithful to have dreams and goals to achieve. The second point represents the Giver, who is depicted as a maiden holding a basket of fruit. The Giver encourages worshippers to give to those in need, whether that is food, kindness, or protection. The last point represents the Builder, and he is depicted with a hammer. The Builder reminds Llymayn's faithful that action and dedication are always needed to make one's dreams come true.

## Worshippers

Followers of Llymayn often work as healers, bodyguards for kind nobles or rulers, and they often band together in order to stop corrupt oppressors.

   Llymayn has temples throughout Vitaria, but there is a noticeable lack of them in the major Cor Anaran cities. Because many of the mages in power encourage oppression, they are often at odds with Llymayn's faithful. As a result, these mages do their best to stop Llymayn's worship. This is seen as a taboo of sorts, and is not discussed in open conversation.

## Relationships

Llymayn seeks to understand her fellow Gods, but doesn't always agree with them. She is angered by Rendain's arrogance and selfishness, and thinks that Vea should be more influential in peoples' lives.

Llymayn sees Chessah as a younger sister, and does Her best to protect Her. Additionally, She respects Ishtan's strength and adherence to his doctrines.

## Dogma

*Be kind to others, forgive those who challenge you, and fight for yourself and those who need you. Your actions carry a weight greater than your lifetime.*
