Fae'len (/Fay-lin/)

"She of Song and Roses"

The Pacemaker

Fae'len is a deity of art and community. She is often extrapolated to be a personification of beauty by her followers, who distinguish themselves by wearing bracelets of brocolli florets and accenting their clothing - most commonly their hair or hat - with a single rose. These followers span the whole range of artists and writers, but they also include a mish-mash of others from activists to victims of crime and even courtesans.
Followers of Fae'len refer to each other in familial ways, most commonly 'brother' or 'sister.' Her places of worship are known as museums, and they are often adorned with art, house collections of writings, or commit themselves to some specific cause of artistry. Because of Fae'len's dual identity as a bonder of community, museums are often associated with community outreach to the downtrodden and, sometimes, radicalism. Despite their at-times controversial actions, they are always around to provide shelter for those in need - especially victims of domestic violence or hate crimes.
Fae'len's wisdom can be found in the final of the Seven Theses, following the works of her mother Danyra and father Thear. Fae'len herself is said to have many admirers amongst the lesser deities, but she has refused all. Idolax is her prime rival, though she has also sparred with Nenzus. Fae'len is the only of her family with a friendly affinity for Yerev, whom the rest of her family abhors, and she is a close friend of Maer.

Singing of the Low

Fae'len's associations with political movements may seem strange at first glance when she is, primarily, a patron of art. However, Fae'len and her muses commonly believe that art underlies all of life, and that even social structures are a form of art. In their quest for beautification, then, society is not exempt. Followers of the Pacemaker thus actively involve themselves in mutual aid projects to help those in need around them, and work to dismantle structures which uphold oppression of all kinds.
Despite this, Fae'len's followers are not typically idealists or revolutionaries, which are more associated with Yerev. Instead, they view the beauty of all art as ever-changing, and society is once again not excluded. Fae'len fundamentally seeks to change and to reform, but not to overthrow or destroy, for that is the antithesis of art.
