In the Estarine faith practiced by the elves, Lythia Nuros is one of the seven elven gods made of starlight who came to Adnati to give it life.
She is depicted as working with Tyra Manora to create Lunaal, the largest of Adnati’s moons, and then with Ilimoran Toruvial to create Sola, the sun.
Lythia is most associated with the institutions involving elven civilization: governance, politics, international diplomacy, strategic defense, and trade and commerce. She is similarly associated with record-keeping, archives, and libraries, and consequently with academia and scholarship. In both written and performing arts, she is associated with dramatic plays. She is one of the three gods of light and is most commonly associated with the sun. She is associated with ritual magic that can take hours or days to cast, and with arcane lore and the study of lost magic. She is depicted with silver-gray hair, with pale skin flecked with iridescent blue highlights.
In common culture, she is the namesake for LythÃ, the brightest of the five planets in the heavens, and of Lythiadÿn, the seventh day of the week.
