Lihlel
The Great Spirt of Rhythm
Primarily thought of as a divine feminine of beauty and grace. Lihlel was a Aulrufae aristocrat who spent her life dancing, organizing festivals, bringing an otherwise nomadic people together. When young musicians begin to make sense of their craft and emotion becomes synchronized in the notes they play, Lihlel is thought to be both guiding and entrusting them with bringing others together.
“Lihlel is the word for the synchronicity of song and dance in Aulrufae Culture. That I found history of a living woman was a surprise to me. At the time of writing this, I’ll be visiting her in Ancrese in less than a month’s time.”
Lihlel in art is depicted as a graceful woman in a deep forest green gown caught mid-step in a dance nobody else knows.
Shrines of Lihlel
Most family homes of Aulrufae have a Shrine to Lihlel. Usually a place where they keep a few instruments in the living area. They may also be found in public at the occasional corner where musicians will pick up the instruments and play at random for the passerby on the streets.
Lihlel Mystics
There is magic in the literal sense in dance. The Mystics of Lihlel have a dance for every occasion and they send out waves of health or disaster in their movements.
