'''Immarra Hyacinth''' is a goddess in the [[High Elven Pantheon]], held as the patron goddess of beauty and romantic love. She is the Unfading Beauty, and a direct child of [[Pyria Veleptor]], birthed to enrich the lives of the [[Atarlie Empire]]'s population of elves as a twin to [[Feno Ilirel]].

Her symbol is a tiger lilly in full bloom, and birds of paradise in all their myriad forms are sacred to her. As a chaotic good deity, she grants her followers access to the Charm, Glory, Good, and Plant domains. While not being warlike herself, those in her church who go into battle do so with a glaive-gisarme as her divine weapon.

===History===
Imarra was born to [[Pyria Valeptor]] shortly after the creation of the elves and her older cousin, [[Rophalin Imperitor]], as a twin to [[Feno Illirel]]. She was tasked with, and busies herself in, enhancing the beauty of elvendom, whether through inspiring poets and musicians as a muse, delivering the secrets of various visual arts, or providing for natural beauty through the creation of a great number of creatures and plants.

===Relationships===
Feno is a daughter of a kind to [[Pyria Valeptor]], and she and [[Feno Ilirel]] worked together to create the elven god of charity, [[Navarre Yesbella]], who they raised as their daughter. She is known to have had a long-standing affair with [[Lysanthir Lugolor]], creating many creatures and plants of great beauty, all of whom are ultimately fated to die and fall into Lysanthir's domain.

===Appearance===
Immarra is a tall and unusually beautiful example of the elven race, whose hair colour shifts and changes with her mood and the passage of the seasons. She always appears with a fan of colourful feathers to hand.

===Realm===
Imarra is part of the elvish divine family, and so has a portion of the realm of [[Elysium|The Cradle of the Wise]], a fortified city in the plane of the [[Elysium]]. This is her native plane, and she spends a great amount of time in her legendary gardens there, perfecting new creations to release into [[Ahren]].

===Providence===
The sudden breakthrough from creative block, an unusually full blooming of a garden, and the scent of unexpected fragrances on the wind are all signs of Imarra's providence. She appears in the dreams of many of her followers as a muse-figure or in the guise of their lovers and whispers her inspirations to them.

===Servants===
A whole class of Azata known as the Muses serve Immarra, and carry her favour, blessing, or inspiration throughout the multiverse on her behalf.

==Unique Servants==
===The Muse of Emperors===
Known by the epithet alone, this large and unique Azata is singularly beautiful, her snake-like lower body clad in prismatic and iridescent scales, not unlike opal. She serves Immarra as her divine herald and has been said to appear particularly often to Emperors whose rule has caused the arts to stagnate, to inspire, bully, or cajole them into action.

==Church==
Of all the minor dieties of the pantheon, Immarra is the most popular, though not nearly as often observed as [[Rophalin Imperitor]] or [[Pyria Valeptor]]. Immarra has jurisdiction over both the arts and romantic love. Her follower base are disproportionately skewed toward the younger generations of elfdom.

===Worshippers===
Artists, be they painters, sculptors, illusionists, actors, musicians, dancers, poets, and so forth swell the ranks of the Church of Immarra. Those who have been lucky in love and are smitten with romance, as well as those who have been unlucky in love and wish to petition her intervention, also make up a sizable cohort of her faith. Many are aristocrats, for whom the trappings of beauty are both weapon and armour.

===Clergy===
The Clergy of Immarra Hyacinth wear light-blue robes or drapes of light blue over their armour. While not a warlike bunch, Immarra's clergy have responsibility for defending the natural beauty of the world as well as repositories of the arts. Many of her clerics are also artists in their own right, in some way, shape, or form.

Unusually for a Chaotic Good diety, she counts an undeniable minority of paladins among her ranks. Most are employed as templar of sorts. A rare few of these paladins have been known to quest in her service, either to recover some missing artifact or on a divine mission to see more of the world and bring back word and vision of what they found.`

===Temples & Shrines===
Immarra's temples are always immaculately constructed, regardless of size. In place of public fora for discussion, they usually house a performance hall and a large complex of gardens, and their catacombs are not for the burial of the dead but full of studios for clergy and students of the arts who are being instructed by such clergy.

Owing to the large number of objets d'art in such temples, they are often discreetly guarded by templar-paladin in the service of Imarra.

===Holy Texts===
Immarra's holy texts are the [[Perspectives]], a single volume of musings on art that range from philosophical analysis of what it means to be beautiful or to love, as well as practical matters on elements of design, color theory, and perspective.

===Church History===
Immarra's church is not directly a political tool, but the over-representation of the aristocratic class among her faithful means that the church itself often has the appearance of being political, and has been used in the past as a tool to soothe or agitate the populice through art.

===Holidays===
Immara's Day is the 14th of the 2nd month of the [[Rophalin Calendar]], a day for lovers in all stages of love to mark their relationship. She is also invoked at all weddings within the Empire.

===Favoured Animals===
Birds of Paradise, who come in as many forms and colours as the eye can percieve, are sacred to Immarra Hyacinth, credited with their creation.
