Elyrial

''"Whence cometh thy breath, whence cometh thy heart, whence cometh thy mind? Wherefore dost thou speak, and hear, and smell, and see, and think and feel? Elyrial, goddess of life; it is she who gave ye this form so like to hers and it is she who thou shouldst thank." ''- Beginnings 3:20

Fifth born goddess of Marpholones and Tirena, twin of Uldreth, Elyrial carried humanity in her womb and delivered them with the assistance of her husband into the world. It is written that she was the most beautiful of all the gods, even more-so than her mother, Tirena the Fervent Goddess.

As the goddess of life, Elyrial weaved together all the natural beasts and creatures of Norospire in her Pool of Forms including the halfling race. She is always accompanied by her two hand maidens, the first women ever born who pledged their undying allegiance to the mother of mothers. Wives and mothers often revere her and ask her for emotional strength in their tumultuous task of child rearing. Tokens and icons of Elyrial are carried and worn by pregnant women, especially during labor when it is often customary for the mother to hold tight a token covered in Elyriallic iconography.

Elyrial's clerics focus on the vibrant positive energy—one of the fundamental forces of the world that sustains all life. The godess of life promotes vitality and health through healing the sick and wounded, caring for those in need, and driving away the forces of death and undeath.
