Letiera



Letiera is the Goddess of magic, though she has no true clergy or church. Despite this, she has thousands of worshippers or followers in the form of the world's magic-users. Any mortal wishing to cast a spell must speak to Letiera, essentially asking permission to use the power of magic which permeates the world. It is not required that a wizard worship Letiera, though he or she must know enough about Mage-Speak, the language used to speak with Letiera and cast spells, to converse with her. Some wizards argue that a god/worshipper relationship with Letiera can lead to more powerful spells, but there is no conclusive answer. Letiera almost never denies a magic-user permission to access Orodan's magical power, unless they happen to have insulted her.



Magic precedes the creation of Letiera. She did not create the world's magical power, but she does govern and control it. The goddess of magic is unique in how often she directly communicates with her subjects, and is even known to occassionally have recreational conversations with powerful magic-users. She enjoys seeing how mortals use the power of magic, whether it be for “good” or “evil.” As stated previously, there are no priests of Letiera, but some of the more powerful wizards in the world could be considered such. They are able to open channels of communication with the Goddess relatively easily. In theory, one could ask a highly skilled wizard to contact Letiera, though they may be hesitant to agitate her.

Appearance
Letiera is typically depicted as an ethereal, blue woman with long flowing hair and robes, or even as just an ethereal blur.

Morality
As mentioned above, Letiera does not discern between good and evil when granting requests of magical power. She sways in no direction but her own, and typically allows access to Orodan's magical powers for anybody who has not personally angered her. At certain points in history, she has been known to entirely cut off access to the world's magic at the request of other deities, but this is a desperate and rare occurance.

Should a mortal anger Letiera, she can also shut off that particular person's access to magical power. This measure has led to the death of more than one foolish wizard who thought they were above her power.
