Feyan, Goddess of Charm

Feyan is the Goddess of Charm and Persuasion, and is responsible for the creation of the fey. She is the eldest daughter of Syvl and Kevolah, and the twin sister of Valen.

## Origins and Creations

Feyan was the second child born to Syvl and Kevolah in the First Era. Sometime after this, she created the fey people.

Feyan lived for a while on the Prime Material Plane of Somara, but soon grew disillusioned with many of the facts of life there. In fact, she created a list of things she disliked about it (collectively known in modern times as Feyan's Terms) and presented it to her father, asking him to create for her a separate plane of existence that she and her people could live in. Syvl reached out to Valazar, and the two created a copy of the Prime Material Plane, then removed many of the negative aspects that Feyan disliked. This new plane became known as the Feywild, and she and her people moved there (along with a group of elves who would later become the eladrin).

On the Feywild, the fey expanded greatly, and Feyan began reorganizing the plane as she saw fit, turning it into an utterly alien paradise that followed her sets of rules.

Feyan ruled over the plane directly, overseeing all the affairs of her peoples, with some of her trusted underlings governing different lands as fey courts.

Interestingly, however, Feyan seems to have disappeared sometime during the Eighth Era. The last remaining record of her appearance was during the end of the Seventh Era, when she reportedly left the Feywild to attend the funeral service of Darion Tessandro, the hero of the Dark World Crisis. After this, there is no record of her ever returning to the Feywild, and some of the fey who were close to her have not seen her since. In her absence, the fey became fractured and disjointed, with each court claiming power over their own lands and falling to power struggles with the other courts. If the Fey Kings and Queens know anything about this, none of them are willing to say anything.

## Appearance

Before her vanishing, Feyan would rarely leave the Feywild, showing intense distaste for the other planes of existence. When she appeared to mortals, she often took the form of a tall, lithe female fey, with impish features and a playful demeanor. She wore her blonde hair in elaborate styles, alongside extravagant jewelry and intricate pixie-woven gowns. She did not often carry weapons, but was reported to have skill with both shortbows and shortswords. She was often accompanied by a host of animals that acted as her loyal servants, many of them having been awakened to possess sentience.

Feyan would often set up places for mortals to accidentally stumble upon her, never going to meet mortals on their terms. Those who she wished to see would often find themselves walking into a magnificent feast set up in the middle of a forest, or spot a grand, luxurious villa suddenly appearing on the side of the road ahead of them that would vanish as soon as they left.

## Personality

Of all the deities of Somara, Feyan probably had the most colorful. She loved having fun and enjoying herself, and had a taste for art and beauty. She was very spontaneous, and would often host excessively opulent parties in the Feywild and invite many of the other gods and demigods for her pleasure.

She was very fond of conversation, and would often drop in on her followers for no other reason then to talk, gossip, and/or vent.

Feyan was very peculiar about things she liked and disliked. She was very proper and placed a large emphasis on etiquette, and would freely rebuke those who neglected it in her presence. She hated liars, and has on several occasions cursed those who attempt to lie to her or cheat her. She did not like iron for some reason, and recoiled at its touch. She hated gifts and believed that you would always owe back an equal amount to what you received , and she also hated misers and cheapskates.

Likely due to her colorful and divisive personality, she had interesting relationships with many of the deities of Somara. She had outward disdain for Caius, Decia, Dionus, Mogus, Oghma, and Xyas. She was good friends with Fortas, Iella, Lucan, Mala, Paela, Raei, Ultha, and Valen, and looked down upon Durefn, Jekhari, Mealyn, Nhekri, Roggirth, Saris, and the Elemental Lords. The remaining gods she more or less got along with.

## Worship

Before her mysterious vanishing, Feyan received worship mainly from the Fey, but it was not really a religion so much as paying homage to their creator and benefactor. Feyan was heavily involved with the happenings of the Feywild, and helped establish the College of Glamour for bards, worked with Raei to establish the Circle of Dreams for druids, and helped create the traditions that became the paladins' Oath of the Ancients, the warlocks' Pact of the Archfey, and the rangers' Fey Wanderer Archetype.

In spite of this, however, she almost never granted clerical powers, and since her disappearance, has not granted any powers to mortals who profess to serve her.
