Thessalya, Goddess of New Beginnings, Actors and Illusions

Called Benefactor of Thespians, Stagewright, Rising Sun, Matron-in-the-Wings and The Many Faced One.

Leila is Goddess of Stories, but her stories are the ones told around tables or campfires, spun out like brilliant threads in the night. The stories which Thessalya tells are acted, weaving the threads into a tapestry of light, song, dance and acting. The center of acting in all the known world is Amethyst Ampitheater of Utter Harness, temple to Thessalya as Benefactor of Thespians. Many are the playwrights who throng to that city to spin their stories, many are the actors who come to find their fortunes. Few manage to find their way from the minor stages and backalley slophouses to the great Jeweled Stage to enact their dramas for kings and peasants. But the secret that only the faithful stagehands of Thessalya's temple know is that the Rising Sun shines on all her children, successful or not, for so long as they tell their stories with all their hearts and all their might.
