Illyria

Illyria is a true neutral goddess and the guardian of the wilds. She is a mixture between the divine essence of both Amatsumikubo and Tanacātēlatani. Illyria has no temples in any town, city or village. Those that have been erected for her are quickly abandoned as her priests discover the goddess refuses to lend her powers to those within civilisations.

Most of her followers are druids, rangers and nomads. She is worshipped by the sentient races of the sea exploring the endless dark below as well as wandering monsters, sentient beasts and the Sylvari tribes. Illyria is not an easy deity to understand due to the dogma of her priests. There are no answers given, instead, they believe one must search for these answers themselves if they are to hold any meaning. Followers from Illyria believe that the strong will eat the weak and they praise being clever and cunning over brute strength. Her druids and priests are required to go on a journey of self discovery alone into the wild to become full members of her priesthood.

Illyria is most often depicted as a naked woman with branches, leaves and flowers in her long and tangled hair, both beautiful and wild.
