Alluria

I am Alluria, goddess of Beauty and Creativity.

## History & Relationships

### History

Alluria was once one of the original Greater Deities. Vampires were her creation, widely regarded as beautiful fey beings, even though they fed on blood. All this changed when Morothane attacked. He stole her power and her vampires, elevating himself up to the Greater deities while Alluria fell to Intermediate. His finishing move was to take all knowledge of the attack, Alluria’s once Greater status, and his once lower status and locked it away in Forbidden Knowledge. No one but Morothane remembers, but the majority of the Fae still worship Alluria.

Recently, Alluria worked in tandem with Osheth to steal the Forbidden Knowledge domain from Morothane. She distracted him with talk about vampires, and since he knows the history, he quickly answered her questions, allowing the theft to occur. After which, she let Osheth keep it. Morothane has yet to notice the theft and not even the clerics have felt the ripples of change. Now, Osheth has a chance to uncover the dark deed. However, given his nature, who knows what, if anything, he would do with the information.

Recently, she spoke with Korthos because he has the strongest connection to the S.S. Spellglider through his Herald, Zoya. Alluria wanted everyone on the ship to have the same dream, and it was about an adventure they would go on in the future. She wanted to make sure they were guided to do the right thing. Alluria wanted to make sure the instructions were beautiful, and Korthos, in the spirit of adventure, didn’t want the heroes to have too easy a time and so required the instructions to be a riddle.

### Relationships

Alluria just wants to give and receive pleasure. She won’t tie herself down to any one person, and deprive others of future pleasure. She once was intimate with Grom, but he was upset that she wouldn't stay with him, and him alone. He felt it wasn’t loyal and left. She has a secret relationship with Osheth, they get along well because they're both hedonistic. Osheth is greedy and so wants her all to himself, but she could never devote herself to just one partner and Osheth knows that, but it doesn't stop him from trying. Alluria regularly engages in orgies with Tepthys, Telagos, and Iona, who are and act as a family unit. Bardanther enjoys her company occasionally and she and Kelemar make really interesting sex toys and use them on each other. Alluria has a bit of a rivalry with Elenya over the Friendship domain, which she believes should belong to her, however that does not stop them from frequently having sex. Cerrwyn occasionally seeks out the company of Alluria, for even the goddess of solitude can enjoy the pleasures of the flesh.

Deneva and LeMaire refuse her advances. She doesn't have sex with Morothane, Malasar, Arziel, Grom, Sargona, Aonn, Vorbus or Yith Shaggoth. Sargona refuses the warmth of intimacy and another body.

## Dogma

Alluria values beauty, creativity and passion above all else. Her followers can show their devotion by embracing embracing such things. This can be done by in a variety of ways, which include creating pieces of art and music or pursuing hedonistic pastimes.

### Quests

Small quests can include visiting a museum or putting a painting up in one's home. Larger quests would be creating renowned masterpieces in the arts or opening new art galleries to spread beauty around the world.

### Temples

The temples of Alluria often double as museums or art galleries and all such places tend to have at least a small shrine dedicated to her on the premises. The true temples also have rooms set aside for those who pursue the passions of the body.
