Orisis

Category:Gods

Orisis is the goddess of love and desire. She is a noticeably fickle goddess who has strong opinions on what people should, and should not desire. She is one of the deities that is known for meddling in the affairs of the races of Lothessia. Depending on how deserving she thinks a person is depends on how she answers prayers and requests. She is also known to interfere in the lives of those she deems most deserving of favor..and those she deems most deserving of punishment.

Being the goddess of love and desire, people often think of Orisis as only relating to marriages and sexual relations. However she does not delineate between the two. One doesn't have to be married to someone in order to love them; she also connects with other instances of love, such as love between friends, love between parent and child, and the love between siblings. Just as she does not only deal with the love of lovers, she also does not only deal with the desire for another's bodies, but with all desires.

She often answers prayers and requests, although be careful what you ask of her. If your desire, in her eyes, seems bent for greed or selfish desires she might just grant your request ,,,, just not in the way you may think. For example if you pray for gold because you desire wealth and opulence, then you might receive an inheritance from a loved one's death. However if you pray for things that you desire for unselfish reason she may very well grant it beyond what you desire as a reward.

She will also intervene when there are no prayers. Those who show they have a love for another in an extraordinary way, such as losing limbs, wealth etc to protect them then she might come down and give that person something that is God-Touched. Each is different and suits Orisis' desires as much as those who are granted it.
