Lliira, Our Lady of Joy, is the goddess of content-ment, release, joy, happiness, dance, and freedom, and is the patroness of festivals. Lliira has recently taken on the portfolio of the dead goddess Waukeen, the goddess of trade, money, and wealth. Therefore she has two types of specialty priest, one of Joy, happiness and dance and one of Trade, wealth and money. Lliira makes her home on the outer plane of Arvandor. Her symbol is three stars: one orange, one yellow, and one red.

Lliira's followers are believers in the ability, potential, and talent of the individual, and the celebration of life and its diversity. Often this to hedonism that would make a Sunite blush (briefly). With the absorption of the church of Waukeen, Lliira's church has become wealthier, but taken on a more responsible air, as it attracts more of the merchant class.

Lliira's priest are known as joybringers, and dress in a mixture of orange and yellow. Since the Time of Troubles, the church has attracted many of the former followers and clergy of Waukeen, and many of that faith's old temples have now been reconsecrated to Lliira. With the infusion of new blood, the church has become mildly more responsible and mildly more mercantile. It has also developed a stronger feeling towards personal freedoms. With Lliira's rapid growth it is quite possible she will soon become an intermediate power, as was Waukeen.

Both types of Lliira's priest are allowed to wear any type of armor and use bludgeoning weapons, plus the lasso and net. If a priest of Joy uses a weapon which inflicts damage on another, all the priest powers are revoked. This does not apply to undead or non humanoid monsters. The penalty exist until the Lliiran priest spends a full day engaged in meditation and absolution, followed by a big party all night. Priest of Trade do not have this restriction, but are expected to act appropriately.

The standard spell selection for both types of Lliiran priest consist of major access to the spheres of All, Animal, Charm, Creation, Healing, Guardian, Necromantic, Protection, Sun, Travelers, Wards, and Weather. Minor access is given to Divination, Elemental, Plant, and Summoning.

Priest of Lliira receive 135 character points to spend on skills and abilities from the following list. Skills cost 2 to 10 points. Any unspent points can be used to acquire nonweapon proficiencies or saved for use during the game. The standard priest of Lliira spends her character points to acquire the abilities of combat bonus, dancing, followers, soothing word, turn undead, and access to spheres. Priest worshipping Lliira as Waukeen's godly regent spends their character points on appraising, gem cutting, disern true metal, followers, turn undead, and access to spheres.
