Olissa Character in Iria | World Anvil

Olissa

Olissa (a.k.a. Goddess of the Sun)

Olissa was the first of the 4 original gods to be created. As soon as Gimros and Phydia created the first races Olissa found that she enjoyed spending time with them all. She would play in the fields with children, cook meals with house wives, and help the men construct their buildings. Of all of the gods she was the most hands on with the people, and the one normally tasked with speaking to Gimros and Phydia. With her personality she quickly became something of a mother to the other gods, despite the mere minutes of age difference between them all, always being the one to help them when they fought or guide them through something they didn't understand. Olissa is much the same today as she was the day she was created, a mother to all, and always watching over ever race and person in Iria, striving to help each and every person recover from the war.

Tenets of Faith

Followers of Olissa are expected to strive for peace for all. They are respectful to different views and different beliefs with the hopes of bringing people together from all walks of life. Though Olissa is a Good and Lawful being she holds no hostility towards those who are evil, undead, or anything else. For Olissa and her followers everyone should be allowed to live as they wish as long as it is peaceful to everyone.
They are expected to strive to solve conflicts peacefully if possible, and to capture those who cannot be talked down. Death of another person is only ever a last resort and is one of the only things that can make a follower lose favour with Olissa.
They are expected to offer help and aid to all that need or ask of it, as long as the request is not something that would kill another or themselves. They are advised to find others to help them if it is not safe alone, or to try and capture the target if they must target another being.
They are expected to extend as much of these values to non-humanoids as possible, especially those who seem intelligent enough to perhaps be calmed to reasoned with. Where this is not possible, they are not as heavily punished for killing a creature.

All Oldin are her 'pets'. Each one that exists within the world has a connection to Olissa and Olissa has a connection through each of them. It is said if an Oldin chooses you as a friend then Olissa will always be watching over you.

Slow, well thought out. To the point but 'gentle'. Very, motherly.
