Massea

Massea, the Lady of Love, is one of the Spirits of Linnath. She is the most widely worshiped of the Linnathian spirits. Her temples are the largest after Katelikessar's, and her clergy surpass his even in number.

Appearance
Massea is said to be the most beautiful of all creatures in existence, and especially beloved by Katelikessar. No man has ever seen her Divine Form, and it is forbidden to make images of her.

Most of her representations and statues, therefore, are taken from the appearance of her High Priestess, who is said to be the Avatar of Massea.

Powers
Massea's appearance is enough to entrance any mortal who gazes upon her, and even the other Spirits and Katelikessar himself are not immune to its charm. The robes and gems she wears are the most pure to ever exist, and their value is beyond any compare. A single lock of her hair would be worth enough to buy the entire world a hundred times over.

She is the Patroness of families, and it is said that a single touch from her High Priestess can cure infertility no matter how great or magical. Massea herself is unable to be denied by any creature divine or mortal, though her love is such that she does not use this to her own gains.

Of all the Spirits, she loves most the Children of Katelikessar.

Church & Followers
The Massean Church is the most expansive of all the spirits in the realm, and in recent years it has overcome even Katelikessar's in size. For non-human races (Apart from Dwarves) love her dearly, and her following among humans has always been strong.

Her clergy dress in beautiful dresses and vestments, and adorn themselves in gems and crystals of great beauty. Perfume is considered to be a sign of holiness, and they smell of it constantly. Her paladins dress in the roman or greek style.

Her High Priestess is selected from her most beautiful clergy, and is the most powerful Cleric in the entire realms, though again, the love of Massea fills her so completely so as to make it seem this was not the case.

There are two types of Massean Clergy, Missioned and Unmissioned. The Unmissioned make the majority, and stay at temples preaching the word of Massea. The Missioned are those who have taken vows to see the spread of love throughout the realms, and to collect beautiful things for Massea. The highest achievement of any Missioned is to find the truest of loves.
