#lioel

Major Divinity number 2!!! lets hear it for major divinity number 2!!!

Lioel embodies the element of wind, including the absence wind is sent to fill. this means he rules over all sounds (esp music!), creatures of the air, knives, language, breath/breathing, inspiration, communication, and of course, death.

he is the patron of daemons, aka the horned humanoids of Yuwen. Get it? Horn? like the thing you make a noise through? that's hollow? yeah. that thing.

Lioel has permanent second child syndrome, and actually gets so unhappy with his domain of "nothing" that he attempts a coup of sorts, trying to kill his dad (the world tree) Oris with a poison so strong and deadly it causes an apocalyptic event felt across the Cosmic Pool known as The Rending (ooooo so dramatic)

the force of the Rending is so powerful it actually ends up causing Lioel to spill the rest of the poison on himself, thus eradicating him from existence.

ive been on a lioel kick lately. trying to figure out a better portrait illo for him. someday !!!!!!!

1 - a fantasy horn instrument based on a celtic carnyx!!!! and some fucking bonkers brass instruments i found online

2 - those attic harpy sculptures that are just So good ifykyk

in prehistoric times, its said lioel, elemental god of Wind, after releasing his daemons onto the world, climbs the tallest mtn in old grove, and builds a very tall tower, and secludes himself in this tower for many years as he writes the sheet music of the cosmic resonance. this is a moment during that long, arduous period of artistic gestation and manifestation where lioel meets the beady eyes of a flock of birds flying past his studio window-

working away at my worldanvil and just finished up lioel's epithets!! eventually i want to add like fantasy etymological root words that add other layers of meaning to his name(s?)
