Iarah, goddess of Lust
Iarah, the queen of lust, rules the desires and secret indulgences of Baltharos. Her mortal form is a vision of beauty and allure, drawing mortals of every race and gender without discrimination. Her influence thrives not in open temples but in the shadowed corners of the world—brothels, casinos, and gilded dens of temptation. Though she wields little direct force, her words can sway rulers and criminals alike, her whispers carrying more power than any blade.
