Dion-Isis

Symbol- A two pronged fork with a bunch of grapes in the middle

Personality- Dion-Isis is hedonistic, enchanting, and deeply enigmatic. She thrives on sensation in pleasure, intoxication, and beauty, whether honest or illusory. She prizes appearances over substance, charm over truth, and indulgence over restraint. Yet she is not without purpose. Dion-Isis believes that through art, performance, and indulgence, deeper truths can be accessed. She is as likely to laugh at a lie well told as to punish a dull truth.

To her, fine art, graceful lies, and well-aged wine are not luxuries, but tools of diplomacy, control, and power. She teaches that appearances matter, that the world bends more easily to beauty than truth, and that those who master illusion will always have the upper hand.

Though her fey origins are acknowledged, her Oligarchic clergy focus on her more "refined" aspects. Her patronage of the arts, her wisdom in the theater of politics, and her subtle shaping of public opinion.

Worship- Dion-Isis is primarily worshipped among the Fey and artistic communities, but has also taken root in many Oligarchy circles, especially among noble houses obsessed with legacy, beauty, and performance such as House Holbein and House Sheer. Her temples are lavish theaters, bathhouses, and salons where illusion magic and aesthetic perfection are treated as acts of devotion. Festivals in her name are often masked, wine-soaked affairs marked by poetry, pageantry, and whispered secrets.

Her clergy are known as the En-Chanters, and they often wear veils, face paint, or masks in public where they sing their sermons. They serve as illusionists, courtiers, artists, and pleasure priests. The wealthiest Noble Houses often retain a cleric of Dion-Isis to manage their house’s aesthetic, messaging, and scandal containment.

Cultural impact/legacy- Dion-Isis enjoys reasonably wide acceptance across the Oligarchy. She is the goddess of grace in public, invoked at banquets, public debates, unveilings of artwork, and noble weddings. Her shrines are built into opera houses, ballrooms, and gardens of aesthetic perfection.

Her blessings are sought before speeches, during courtship, or when a scandal must be smoothed over with the right outfit and the perfect glass of wine.
