Lyra (old)

Lyra is the Lady of Oceans, and one of the four creators of The Mortal Realm. She lives with Wol, deep in his halls. It is said that when a living being dies and rots, it descends deep into the earth, where its energies reach Lyra. Though Wol guards its soul, Lyra takes the life it once had, and weaves it into new beings, who sail through great underwater lakes and rivers to reach the surface and be born. In her absence, no plants nor men nor animals would be born, and the world would be still and lifeless.

In addition to her role as lifebringer, Lyra is also goddess of weather, and all the seas and rivers of the world are of her making. Mortals who upset her would be wise to stay far inland, for her wrath has swallowed entire townships whole.

Tenets and Taboos
Cultivate life, says Lyra, and understand that progress means change. Be not set in your ways, but adapt. Know that rigid ice will break, yet water only flows. Make love and be fruitful, do not set your own needs ahead of your kin. Rest and recuperate well, for you will need all your strength when enemies are at your door. Seek peace with kin, forge bonds with friends, and seek your peace through them.
