Lithmor is the element of light, the physical and mental embodiment of this force of nature. She is among the ten Erlithmanil and acts as the counterpart of Zalikar, darkness. She is a very popular figure in Emynea and worship of her has always been widespread especially in Alkelbulan. Zalikar was her husband for millenia and they had a daughter, Sylthari. However, the two are now sworn enemies.
Lithmor, like all of the Erlithmanil, possesses five aspects. These aspects are both different divisions of her magic and expressions of different parts of her mind. Lithmor's aspects are Kalitho the Prismatic, Rithaldis the Radiant, Mpertem the Joyous, Rylmar the Dreamer and Kanilwyr the Known. Kalitho is color as in visible light, Rithaldis is radiance and the embodiment of the sun, Mpertem is joy and euphoria, Rylmar is hope and dreams and Kanilwyr is knowledge and memory.
As the embodiment of light, Lithmor is bright, inspirational, bold, passionate, radiant and creative. She trusts those she chooses to wholeheartedly and is naturally altruistic. She can become manic at times and forgets not everyone can handle her intensity. She is often worshiped as a goddess, especially in Alkelbulan. Ilnid competes with Lithmor as a deity in Alkelbulan and reverence for her as a prophet of Allah (Luxis) is prominant in Islam al'Rasul. She is a natural leader, skilled in inspiring all around her and burning brightly no matter the odds.
Alongside all of the Erlithmanil, Lithmor's physical form was destroyed and her soul was sealed away by Accia Syltharis, and her own daughter Sylthari the Celestial, before her body could reform. Without their divine souls, the bodies of the Erlithmanil were unable to regenerate and withered away. This string of events is referred to as the Downfall of the Erlithmanil. Like the rest of her kind, she seeks a new body and took on an Elemental Familiar to this end. Stella is her familiar, an equally energetic and bold creature. Stella is currently serving a Shape Shifter partner who was more or less unable to synchronize with Lithmor, failing as a host and abandoning Ilnithic after Lily Desjardins continued pushing him too far in training. Stella and Lithmor are awaiting his long lifespan to end, very little time remaining for him.
Physical Appearance
She prefers Alkelbulian characteristics, often altering more specific features from subethnicities depending on what she finds most beautiful at the time. Neither dainty or petite, Lithmor takes up a full, athletic and robust body. She is powerful and bold, palpably proud of her own strength and natural radiance. She is an avid appreciator of beauty and confidently displays her own without any trace of uncertainty. She has become an icon of feminine beauty and empowerment for this reason.

(Frequently Altered at Whim)
Lithmor is extremely striking and beautiful. Her complexion is perfect regardless of which skin tone she chooses at the time and many would describe her as radiant. Her hair is naturally alabaster but she enjoys adding an array of bright colors. This is styled similarly to whatever is popular to the peoples she favors the most at the time and the color of her eyes often changes with her mood. She prefers eye and hair colors that are not natural and she greatly values creativity and self-expression.
Lithmor enjoys keeping up with fashion and style, finding joy in humanity's ideals of beauty and encouraging creativity. These standards of beauty greatly affect the style of her hair, clothing and jewelry. When society has advanced far enough, she adores keeping up with fashion industries. And as one might expect of such a radiant, confident goddess, she enjoys showing off her body when she can.
Abilities
Lithmor is the source of all five of her aspects—she is light itself. She can freely manipulate any of her aspects without limitation. She is also able to temporarily cut off a light caster from accessing her element, temporarily disabling their innate connection. However, Lithmor cannot permanently disconnect a caster and it takes concentration to maintain. She also retains the ability to create new light casters, temporary or otherwise. Lithmor can freely come and go from her elemental planes and exert control over them. She can be aware of anything occurring in these planes when shifting her awareness to them. However, most of these abilities are limited by whether or not she possesses a host body. Without a body, all of her activity is limited to her planes and her separate aspects. Unlike most other Erlithmanil, most of her asepcts are mental ones.These five aspects are Kalitho, Rithaldis, Mpertem, Rylmar and Kanilwyr.
Kalitho—Color
Rithaldis—Radiance
Mpertem—Joy
Her remaining abilities are all mental aspects. Mpertem revolves around euphoric emotions, states, thoughts and memories including joy, pride, bliss, mania, happiness, motivation and satisfaction.
Rylmar—Hope
Rylmar is the aspect revolving around positive imagination as opposed to its counterpart Felryth, fear. These can include aspiration, ambition and hope but also rules over all dreams, Felryth ruling nightmares.
Kanilwyr—Knowledge
Finally, Kanilwyr is the aspect of knowledge, memory and honesty. Kanilwyr occupies a special place in Lithmor's mind as Irkath does for Zalikar. All information and knowledge which is known, commonly excepted and currently circulated falls under her domain and she herself automatically gains all knowledge stored within this plane. This includes all memories not falling to Irkath, those which are not secret or concealed. This is one half of a total omniscience shared with Zalikar's aspect Irkath, caught in an eternal tug of war between what is known and unknown to humanity. Some mistake her aspect for truth when Kanilwyr rules over what is commonly believed.
Personality
Lithmor is a strong and passionate entity but she can also be pushy, intense and judgmental. Inspiration is important to her, both in finding it for herself and inspiring those around her. Not everyone can keep up with her energy, creativity and intensity. While she can be warm and comforting presence, she has trouble understanding when she has taken things too far or lost sight of what is important. She has a brilliant and artistic mind and is a great advocator for the arts and academia, something her daughter also takes after. She enjoys championing for the weak or inspiring the downtrodden.
Failures and Embarassments
She has always regretted the distance that has formed between her and Sylthari. She regrets not taking her side sooner. Lithmor wishes she had been more supportive and spent more time with her. She also regrets not fighting harder to oppose Zalikar before their downfall and is disappointed in herself for falling out of favor with Luxis during that time through inaction. Her relationship with Zalikar had become quite unhealthy towards the end of their relationship and she tended to enable him, trying to hang onto and salvage the relationship which had once been so beautiful. She is also prone to episodes of mania.
Morality
Lithmor prioritizes life, joy, creativity, aspiration and truth. She wants people to live fully, chasing their dreams and doing what brings them happiness. Sometimes, she loses sight of anything else or what consequences may occur too focused on the present. She is repulsed by Zalikar's actions and actively tries to oppose him to make up for her previous inaction. She wants humanity to achieve the best future they can aspire to. Her ideal is a bright future, free of despair and wonton death. She wants a beautiful world and works to scour away all ugliness.
Goals
Unlike Zalikar and a number of her cohorts, Lithmor seeks the advancment of humanity. She finds limiting them distasteful, wishing humanity to grow as much as possible and push the limits of what they can achieve. This includes technological advancement, something many of the Erlithmanil are wary of as they have seen many advanced human eras rise and fall. She simply wants to see humanity thrive.
Family
Despite their drastic differences, Zalikar and Lithmor fell hard for each other early on, remaining married for millenia. Together, they sired the first Aethid, Sylthari the Celestial. Zalikar was far closer to Sylthari but Lithmor adored her daughter none-the-less, taking any excuse to spend time together and working together to inspire humanity. Sylthari was beloved by many of the Erlithmanil, both as the first Aethid and for her dazzling peronality. They lived together as a family within Accia as the Dark King, Luminescent Queen and Lunar Princess. Even after her betrayal, Lithmor misses her daughter and questions how things might've been had she taken a stronger stand against her husband's eradications of humanity, had she sided with her daughter. Lithmor feels she cannot face Sylthari until she has made up for her previous inaction.
Friends and Followers
Ferith has always been her closest friend among the Erlithmanil. She also enjoys the company of Rylis and Raegeric. When she needs calmer, less energetic company she would spend time with Fliral or Ylithuum, their nurturing personalities restorative for her. She absolutely detests Dalyeric and currently views Zalikar as her nemesis despite their once fulfilling romance.
Lithmor was perhaps one of the most involved elements in regards to humanity, often befriending and becoming a patron to those who impress her with their knowledge, creativity or power. However, after being burned a number of times by those taking advantage of her generosity and trust, she has developped a more selective group to grant her strongest blessings. These chosen few live in the practical paradise, Dawn Ahrayn, acting as guardians and priestesses to Lithmor even as s he remains sealed. These are the Zalag Ennun.
Divine Domains
Each of Lithmor's aspects have their own elemental plane. Physical planes overlay and exist parallel to the physical world, connecting anywhere and everywhere an aspect occurs. For some planes, this is static while others constantly ebb and flow as the aspect occurs and moves. Mental planes instead connect to every mind of every cognizant species in Emynea, different planes connected to and storing the memories and thoughts related to certain emotions by aspect.
Aspects and Planes
Aspect | Plane | Description |
|---|---|---|
Kalitho's Plane, the plane of light, is by far the most interconnected of her two physical planes. Any instance of light connects the physical world to Kalitho's Plane, the brighter or more prevalent the stronger that connection. All waves on the electromagnetic spectrum fall under Kalitho. | ||
Rithaldis' Plane is the solar plane, the plane of radiance. Sunlight, solar plasma and even ionizing radiation comprise this plane and connect it to the physical world wherever it occurs. While beautiful, this is one of the most intense planes and absolutely lethal to those without elemental protection! | ||
Mpertem's Plane is a mental plane which every mind is connected to, connecting the joys and euphoria of every living thing in Emynea. Memories and thoughts related to Mpertem are stored here and a jubilant illusion of each individual lifeform wanders this plane. | ||
Rylmar's Plane is a mental plane, connecting the fantasies, aspirations and dreams of every lifeform in Emynea. This is a dreamy plane to view or travel, home to endless fantasy creatures and fanciful adventures. | ||
|
Kanilwyr's Plane is a mental plane but is by far the most structured. All memories and knowledge currently known to man are contained within this plane, granting Kanilwyr a half-omniscience shared with Irkath, the unknown. Kanilwyr automatically knows all information, memories and common knowledge as it becomes known. Her plane is organized as one massive library, well organized and easily navigated. However, Kanilwyr will not allow anyone to access memories or private information stored in her plane without express permision, which she will automatically know of if given! |
