Lyane



Lyane is the goddess of nature and love. S he has, s ince Armageddon, handled many of Sissiannas tasks, and is therefore regarded by many as the guardian of forests on equal footing with her mother. She also protects the animals inside, but not in such a sense that she rejects hunt or slaughter, each may take from nature what he needs to live or defend themself.

Beans and material sacrifices is not the only way to pay homage to Lyane - singing, dancing, and performance of a beautiful work of art, as well as ministry to plant a tree is appropiate as well.

Worshippers
Lyane's worshipers are generally elves. She is part of the elfish pantheon, but also a handful of humans follow her. This is primarily humans who have lost faith that Sissianna ever return, and therefore have turned to Lyane. As the harp player is responsible for many of the same things as her mother, their worshipers are largely the same. Musicians, artists, poets, people and nature lovers alike worship Lyane with prayers and song.

Family
Lyane is related to many of Aferheims gods through her parents. Her mother is Sissianna, and her father is Burania .Thus, Nimar and Djorka her grandfathers, while Rina and Fanabina are her grandmothers. Ragil, Rasnasolin , Aram , Flarn/Thlarn , Girak and Djorka are Lyane's uncles while Dilarna is her aunt.

The Church of Lyane
Lyane's high priest is Sparrow Egeblad. Since Armageddon Lyane has been in the elfish pantheon, and her admirers are many. Nevertheless, she is still partly in the shadow of Sissianna, because when the two goddesses are so similar, humans in particular holds onto the goddess they have known for more than a thousand years. Lyane's and Sissianna's churches has, among the elves, a good working relationship overall, but since there are also some of Lyane's worshippers asserting that Lyane would lose her divine status by Sissianna's return, there have been some disputes. Not distinctly between the two wings, but between their members. Only the elves have built a cathedral to Lyane's honor, but the House of the Song, in Vetas, is also prettier than most human buildings.

Appearence
Lyane is typically depicted like with long, loose hair and a heavy, twisted gold necklace around her neck. Often also helps various woodland critters close to her.

Lyane's Kingdom
Lyane's kingdom is a huge, lush forest landscape with hundreds of deep, clear forest lakes. Between the trees, there are clusters of large, beautiful cities, where all the houses are made of white stone, with roofs of gold. Everywhere animals and the mirners of Lyane jump around with the joyful worshippers, and the gentle light which shines over the kingdom, is warm and comfortable.Here you will forever and always hear a happy humming, which brings peace and joy to those who hear it, and Lyane herself often plays the harp to the humming.
