Ora

 Ora Alternate Names: Tylos, Queen of Lights, The Empath Alignment: Neutral Domains: Ora is the deity of all ‘lights’ (eg. Sun, moons, stars) supposedly responsible for sending them on their proper courses at the proper times. Dreams, love, imagination, navigation, and discovery are associated with her.

Personality: Ora is fickle, haughty, and easily bored. She is an excellent example of someone who has it all yet always wants more. She has the capacity for warmth and understanding just as she can also be coldy manipulating. Flip a coin, you can't be sure what Ora you will get.

History: Ora was one of those who came to partake of the creation of the Four, and she loved it. She was fascinated by the physical form that had been created, and she longed to connect with the created beings. Her love carried beyond mere affection, and she lusted after the elves, and taught them the arts of passion. Unknowingly, she became the precursor to Madryn's own enticements against the Elves. For she wrought in them the emotions of desire, and jealousy.

After the betrayal of the Elves, and the wrath of the gods, the new earth required a light to guide the mortal creatures. So Ora placed her gentle lights in the sky above, commissioned by Shareia that her works should also be a symbol. Just as the rebellion plunged the world into night; so night would carry the five moons as a reminder of the curse.

But Ora's lights were not sufficient to govern the earth, and Malaraes created a greater, brighter light called the Sun. Ora thought this light harsh and glaring, and she and Malaraes competed for dominance of the sky. In the end, Kysor-Myr ruled that they should both have their part of each day, and that for a time, each of their lights would rule.

Even past the Sundering, Ora still meddles in the affairs of mortals, often causing other gods to intervene. Her most recent crime has been her act of lust upon a man who was bonded to his wife almost as strongly as Eraesaer was bound to Shareia. Her deal with Kull was foiled, and both their designs ruined when Kysor-Myr intervened.

Physical Manifestations: When Ora takes a human form it is usually of a willowy woman with long white-blond wavy hair that floats around her, its shadows having a blue cast. Her skin is a very pale champagne color and her eyes gold. Her clothing is a simple rich garment woven of many light colors, seeming to give many dimensions of white. Her lips are the strongest color of her face, small, full and with the same blush as a fresh rose petal.

She may also manifest as nothing but an ethereal glow accompanied by the scent of stardust.

Alliances: Ora's alliances change to suit her needs and desires. She has allied most recently with Madryn, though in the past she has had alliances with all the gods. On whims, she will associate often with Malaraes, who has been her one-time lover before.
