Milil
Milil (pronounced: /mɪlˈlɪl/ mil-LILLor: /mɛˈlɪl/ meh-LILL) was venerated as the Faerûnian lesser deity of song, poetry, eloquence, creativity, and inspiration. He represented the whole song rather than just one part, such as the music or lyrics, not just the finished thought, but the whole process that took an idea from its conception to its completion. In the mindset encouraged by the Lord of Song, life itself was like a song, beginning at birth and ending upon death.
