Not known for her ambition, Lliira went along with the young and brash Waukeen's plan. Waukeen advocated a straightforward approach: climbing the Celestial Stairway from its landing in Shadowdale and bribing Helm with his heart's desire to allow the two of them back into the Outer planes. Having been on good terms prior to this, the two goddesses decided to stick together while they worked out a plan of action. When Lord Ao cast nearly all the Faerûnian deities into mortal avatar form and scattered them across the surface of Toril, Lliira was among them, As luck would have it, the first being she met was the avatar of Waukeen. Some speculated that the leaders of the mercantile organization Iron Throne, whose identities were a mystery, were devotees of Lliira. Their battle prowess caused their fellows in the church to both fear and respect them. Their duties included protecting Lliiran temples and battling with Loviatans. Order of the Scarlet Mummers: One of the church's first knightly orders, the Mummers were formed to avenge the murder of Lliira's High Revelmistress in Selgaunt.From that year onward the specialty priests were distinguished by the title of "Joydancer." Her clergy were renowned throughout Faerûn for their easy going and good-hearted nature, making them some of the most popular clerics in the continent. Worshipers īoth the specialty priests and clerics of Lliira were known as "Joybringers" until 1365 DR, when members of the clergy became confused by the naming scheme. When Waukeen eventually returned she was jealous and upset that so many of her faithful did not return to her service, and thus the friendship between the two goddesses became slightly soured. When Lliira started answering their prayers in Waukeen's stead many of the Waukeenar assumed their goddess was dead and turned to the faith of Lliira, rededicating their temples to her. Her disappearance during this time lead many of her followers disaffected. Prior to the Time of Troubles another good friend of hers was the goddess Waukeen. For a time they had a falling out due to her corruption by Shar, but following her salvation through Sune during the Time of Troubles their relationship was rekindled. Īnother deity she was good friends with for this reason was the goddess Sharess. She was also allied with the deities Deneir and Oghma, but refused to view the latter as her superior. Relationships Īmong the Faerûnian pantheon, Lliira's best friend was the deity Milil, due to him sharing of her love for revelry. After events of the Spellplague, Lliira became an exarch of Sune and moved to the Gates of the Moon with her. Lliira resided within the divine domain of Brightwater, sharing it with the goddesses Sune and Tymora. She was willing to temporarily transform or transport others somewhere else, and likewise would personally pull pranks (such as replacing wine with sour milk) either as a joke or to get back at those who insulted her. She herself refused to do harm to others unless absolutely necessary, though she did not consider certain methods of dealing with problematic people to be hurting them. A sword drawn in anything but ceremony was enough to drive her away, and she would simply leave if combat broke out. Lliira could not, however, tolerate violence or ill feelings, especially at celebrations, and was known to withhold her blessing from revels marred by it. She had a flair for performance, but was neither ambitious nor greedy, willing to resist temptation and abstain from power out of loyalty and respect for promises made. Personality įew things were sufficient to bring down Lliira's joyful revelry as she went about enjoying life without a care in the world, remaining somewhat detached from everyday events. A sparkling wake of winking lights trailed behind her as she danced, flashing at least 60 feet (18 meters) behind her and longer if she so desired. She had eyes of pure blue, long, golden hair (sometimes streaked with silver or odd pastels of blue, pink, green, or lilac), and wore a tight-fitting body suit under a series of thin, translucent robes which artfully twirled and draped as she moved. This 9 feet (2.7 meters) lady was sensuous and shapely, laughing and dancing through the air without concern for dignity or pride. Lliira initially manifested as brightly whirling lights and smoke in the middle of the air before a young woman danced out from the cloud.
