Rejj's Tome of the Gods

Welcome to the domain of Faenella!
Faenella is known as the fair bard, and is a wonderful performer, a muse of poetry and wanderlust, and the inventor of creatures. The faerie are her creation and are considered her offspring. Dryads, nyads, sprites, and angels (not faerie, but of her domain) are all considered to be her children. She supports young ones who run away from home to seek adventure, adventurers themselves, and bards. Her gift to mortals was inspiration, and she created the harp and other stringed instruments. Caravans can often be found under her care. She is very fond of cats (as well as birds) and keeps one around whenever she plays music. Faenella is portrayed as having glowing brown hair, bright green eyes, and a slender Elven body. She visits mortals and is seen often. Faenella's symbol is a wren.

Murrula is Faenella's Light aspect.
Murrula is the goddess of beauty and gifted youngsters, and sings mostly acapella, and is virtually indestructible--her creation is the phoenix. Murrula can't stand bad singing in the least, and will either silence them or bless them with a beautiful voice. Murrula also seeks out young bards and will train them incognito, or, if she is not available to do such, one of her attendants will. She also makes sure their young self does not get them into any trouble. She protects travelers and her kiss simply heals hangovers. She is the creator of the flute and the other woodwind instruments as well. It is said she appears as a beautiful, young, slender Elven woman with fiery red hair and bright amber eyes. Murrula's symbol is a phoenix.

Idon is Faenella's Dark aspect. Idon is known as "the reaver" (The Immortals Chapter 1 Page 20) and is the god of roving bands of thieves, rakish young men who love and leave women, and mothers who abandon their children to continue their life "unburdened". Idon is obsessed with his own good looks and if he feels a young man outshines him he will often turn him into a pig. While obsessing with his good looks, he is also very charismatic. Idon is a very lusty god and when a clan member once exclaimed "By Idon!" a visiting traveler had to ask "Why do you say that?", the clan member responded "Because half of us are!". Idon is the god of lust and music usually not liked by others. He also created the drum and other percussion instruments. Idon's music is often very hard to listen to, but no one would say so to his face lest they risk his wrath, which can be very dangerous. Idon appears as a black-haired, blue-eyed youth who is lean and is physically built well. While not a good fighter when it comes to a duel, he is an excellent backstabber, second only to Damaris in planning a good ambush. Idon's symbol is a heron.
