Mystryl - The Goddess of Magic

Mystryl - the Lady of Mysteries, is the greater deity and the goddess of magic. Mystryl is most notably known as the being who embodied the Weave, the primary source of magic in the cosmos. She supplies and regulates magical energy to all, making possible spells and magical effects. But her portfolio also included knowledge and energy, Curiosity and creativity, song, time, and the season of spring.   Legend has it that at the dawn of time Lord Ao created the universe, and out of the early chaos came twin deities: Shar of the darkness and Selûne of the light. Together, these two beings created the spheres in the darkness, one of which was the world of Velgrath and its spirit, Melora. Melora desired new and more abundant life for her world and asked the sisters for light and warmth in order to nurture it. In this, the two beings could not agree. Selûne eventually acted on her own and gave Velgrath a sun, which Shar immediately sought to put out, thus beginning the battle between light and darkness that raged for eons.   At some point the Dark Goddess got the upper hand and doused many of Selûne's motes of light. In a desperate move, Selûne tore a piece of magical essence from herself and hurled it at her sister. When it hit, Shar also lost a portion of her essence and was cast into the void for centuries. From the blending of dark and light energies, Mystryl was born as a being of pure magic inextricably tied to the Weave. Both of the twins were diminished as a result, with the Moonmaiden's wound being more grave. However, Mystryl was ideologically closer to Selûne, and being created from both light and darkness, Mystryl acted as a balancing force between Selûne and the Lady of Loss.   Mystryl's relationship with her worshipers and followers is open and welcoming to members of all alignments. The majority of her venerators are human but all seekers of arcane lore are accepted.
