Illyāna

by

Finley Vorden

Illyāna, the Goddess of Beauty and Fertility, enjoys widespread worship despite what many theologians quietly describe as “problematic divine personality traits.” Daughter of Rūdār and Alȳrā, she embodies not just physical beauty but the concept of aesthetic perfection itself.

According to popular myth, her beauty was so radiant at birth that it created precious materials, gold, gems, and everything the world now considers beautiful and rare.

Illyāna's temples represent the height of architectural extravagance, featuring rare materials, perfect proportions, and interior spaces designed to flatter everyone who enters them through carefully positioned lighting and reflective surfaces. Temple attendance tends to increase dramatically before major social events, with supplicants seeking the goddess’s blessing on their appearance.

Illyāna devotees should:

• Create beautiful spaces
• Bless new couples and newborns
• Maintain their personal appearance
