Leira
Leira has worn many masks, and more than once has been thought to be dead or to be another deity altogether. Perhaps such a reputation is only natural for the goddess of illusion and deception. Her faithful agree that whatever the "truth" might be, their lady takes great delight in the confusion sown by her various incarnations. Leira isn't viewed as malicious or as a trickster but is seen as enigmatic, quiet, and retiring. The faithful of Leira seem to be scarce, although it is difficult to know this for certain, because those who favour her rarely make their inclinations known. Leira is the patron of illusionists and liars. She receives little regular worship except from illusionists, who pray to the Mistshadow for potency in their magic, and con artists, for whom she is a kind champion. Most people pray to her when they hope to keep something secret, or placate her with a prayer before making an important decision when they fear being deceived. Some folk perform a swirling motion with a finger behind their backs when telling a lie as a way of beseeching her for aid. Her priests wear vestments of white and mist-grey, and their faces are covered by smooth, featureless masks. Only in the east do temples to Leira exist, and shrines dedicated to her found across the realms are usually disguised as other kinds of sites, marked with signs that only the faithful would recognize. Leira is the daughter of Lorik and Istra, and twin sister of Teira. Leira has the powers of a 20th level Wizard, and a 10th level Rogue.Divine Domains
