Mylaileen (My-LAY-leen)

Mylaileen is worshipped by all the peoples of Olrion bar the daemons (who despise them). They are venerated because of the act of Mylaileen's Kiss reversing some of the evil effects of  Yrdul's Strike. For this they are considered a saviour of Olrion and its peoples from the ravages and excesses of violence, strife, and conflict.

However, the peoples differ in how they interpret the tales of this event. While most humanoids consider the effects of the kiss to have fully taken place—that is, there is no more progress to be made—the orcish disagree, saying that the effects of the kiss are still rolling out and that things will continue to get better. This difference largely comes about because of the orcish hoping that one day their oppression will be over. Dragons tend to be split in opinion on the matter, with the more conservative siding with the humanoids and the more progressive with the orcish.

Mylaileen is also considered the patron of beauty and the arts, and so artists, writers, musicians, and all other creatives worship the god in tandem with Drig, who is considered to have bestowed the capability of creativity onto the peoples of Olrion in the first place.

Because Mylaileen is considered to be the god of love and sex, they are often petitioned for help with romantic situations, as well as asked for guidance on this during divination. In days gone by, it was popular to have sexual interactions in their name, as the god was considered to rejoice on these (the more extravagant, the better). This practice has largely died out in "polite" humanoid society, but it is popular in both cults to the god and in certain orcish and draconic rites.

The gods are depicted anthropomorphically, usually as the people who have created these artistic depictions. This does mean that dragons do consider Mylaileen to look like them, but because their numbers in Olrion are few, most depictions conform to a humanoid model (the orcish are fans of much more abstract art in general, and also have less ability to make it due to the circumstances of their oppressed lives).

Mylaileen is usually depicted as having dark grey skin, golden eyes, and black hair formed into locs that are half-tied off the face. They are what the humanoids would call "feminine" despite being genderless. Their body is toned, they tower above all others, and they are very curvaceous.

Mylaileen is always depicted in whatever clothes are fashionable at the time, except for one detail: it must be the colour of pink peonies, their holy flower. Currently (in 8E) this is a flowing, low-cut wrapped dress with high heels, much like a noble lady. They wear an intricate organically curved circlet.

Mylaileen was born conjoined to their twin,  Yrdul, when Verduna's egg shattered open. At first, they happily took a backseat role in the formation of Olrion as a planet, for they were much too distracted by their sibling's constant attempts to bicker with them. They did, however, have some input every now and again, and this was enough to keep them happy.

However, their twin grew tired of their lack of power. In an argument about hatching revenge, they ripped away from Mylaileen, hit them over the head with a mountain and buried them beneath it for not agreeing with them. Mylaileen was trapped here for over a thousand years as their siblings tried and failed to capture Yrdul. Finally, however, Drig used the seas to scry for Mylaileen's location and they were freed.

The god was furious to see the effects of  Yrdul's Strike upon Olrion: how could such evil be allowed to come to pass? They realised that they had to rectify the matter and that doing so would provide them with some of the sweetest revenge imaginable. Echoing the use of action to affect change that their sibling employed, Mylaileen kissed the world in an event now referred to in religious scripture formally as Mylaileen's Kiss. From this kiss, a more peaceful and loving nature rolled out across Olrion. The other gods were impressed and the peoples of Olrion heralded them as their saviour.
