Lyssa

Lyssa, Goddess of Beauty and Illusion

And it was, that a stranger came to the village of Wren seeking shelter and employment. Though young in years, her body was stooped and twisted, her flesh eaten by disease. "Ye have the mark of plague upon ye," said the citizen named Gallrick. "Leave this place lest you sicken our people." "I've lost my family and my home," cried the desperate woman. "Have you no heart?"

Yet each person, in turn, did look away.

Then from the crowd came a young woman, Sara. She looked upon the woman with pity. "If you need help," said Sara, "I will give it." And Sara did approach the gnarled, bent woman and did offer her a helping hand.

Then the sickened woman pulled from her body the robes of plague, revealing Herself to be the goddess Lyssa.

The people of Wren fell to their knees, begging Lyssa's mercy. But lifting Sara gently, saith She, "True beauty is measured not by appearance but by actions and deeds. Many have eyes, but few have seen. Of all here, you saw the beauty behind the illusion. And you alone shall be blessed with My gifts."
— Scriptures of Lyssa, 845 BE

Lyssa is the dual-faced goddess of beauty, water, and illusion. Though typically referred to as a singular entity, she is often depicted as the twins Ilya and Lyss, perhaps not so coincidentally the names shared by her divine attendants. Whether she is truly one entity, two, or some manner of paradoxical combination is unknown. Following Abaddon's defeat by the Five during the War in Heaven, Lyssa usurped the position of God of Water, something deemed too vital to leave in the fallen god's hands. In the Holy City of Arreat, Lyssa was worshipped at the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance.
Lyssa is considered by most to be the paragon of all beauty, and it is said that many young men would glancce at her statues only to be entranced and die of thirst days later.
