Description
Lyrios is a graceful figure with skin like shallow tropical waters, clear and bright. His hair chimes like underwater bells, and his eyes reflect the play of sunlight on waves. His movements create complex harmonies in the water around him.
Artistic and contemplative, Lyrios finds music in all aspects of life. His voice can shift from whale song to shore bird calls. He celebrates the arts while preserving traditional sea songs.
The Sea-Born Family
As the youngest child of Nerissa and Boreas, Lyrios represents the beauty and artistry of the sea. While his older siblings Anar and Civara focus on trickery and trade, Lyrios preserves the songs and stories that give meaning to life on the waves.
He is beloved by his family for bringing joy and harmony even in troubled times, his music calming storms and lifting spirits.
Divine Purpose
Lyrios travels the world's waters collecting and creating music. He teaches the songs that help sailors navigate and marine creatures communicate. His melodies carry across the waves, bringing hope to those far from shore.
His worship is found among bards, poets, and sailors who sing to pass the long watches. His temples are places of song and celebration, where the traditional sea shanties are preserved alongside new compositions inspired by the sea.
