Queen of the Faeries
  Beauty, Chaos, Domination, Magic, Moon, Nobility. The Short Bow. Chaotic Bows.
  Maeve, beautiful and terrible, holds dominion over all the realms of faerie. Her portfolio encompasses dreams, magic, awe, beauty, creativity, elvenkind... and utter, amoral chaos. She is the patron diety of all elves, and though most sincerely wish she wasn't, very few elves willingly pray to another diety for fear of evoking her wrath. Her aegis rests over the hearts and souls of the elven people like a shadow; a silent, private burden that all elves must bear in silence. The elven courts do not discuss their fealty to Maeve in modern society, and no formal records exist of the things done to pacify Maeve. Yet a few human souls dwell in insane asylums across Therya, screaming of how they were seduced by elves and stolen away to a realm where years pass in a day, taken as the playthings of the Shining Lady...
  Maeve is not a true power, or at least not a true member of Therya's divine pantheon. Older than the world itself, she dwells on the fringes of the plane of Pandemonium, in a perfectly sculpted domain of bright colours, beautiful flowers, cheerful music and inhuman grandeur. To mortals, her motives are inscrutable and her hungers insatiable, and she might as well be a real god for all that it matters. Her temples are always richly decorated, elegantly beautiful and utterly deserted, for no one wishes to draw her eyes onto them. Her clerics are elves chosen against their will by the high elven council and groomed for this station, along with the rare members of other races -- artists, playwrights, dreamers and musicians -- who are for whatever reason willing to make a quite literal Devil's Deal and surrender their soul and their sanity in exchange for an inhuman, mind-searing muse, a channel of pure dreams and creativity quite unlike anything else a mortal could ever know.
  Maeve's symbol is a stylized rose. Her alignment is Chaotic Evil, with the evil aspect representing not so much true malevolance as an utter disregard for anything other than her own desires. Her Domains are Beauty, Chaos, Magic, Moon, Nobility and Trickery, and her chosen weapon is the short bow. Her clerics must be Chaotic and cannot be Good.
   Worship: Maeve appreuciates the sacrifice of art, gemstones, jewelry and cloaks, finely crafted adornments and anything else that is beautiful, especially if the sacrifice is still screaming as it is being given (i.e., the charismatic creature is killed while standing directly on top of Maeve's altar). Drow are also especially pleasing to her as sacrifices, since they have turned their backs on her patronage. She is pleased when her children kill drow, displeased if the make peace with them or surrender to them, and gravely displeased if they try to enlist their aid. She is also angered by her followers committing unchaotic acts.
   Blessings: For any follower, Maeve will replace lost spellbooks, replenish mana and use the Wyrdways to carry them to safety should they be in mortal danger. For the slightly more favoured, she will remove fatigue, imbuing the subject with a kind of feverish creativity so much coveted by artists. For those more loyal still, she will identify items of beauty (cloaks, rings and amulets), as well as bows. For truly favoured followers, she can replenish the spirit, and she has even been known to raise truly treasured playthings from the dead.
   More permanent blessings from Maeve imclude increased grace and beauty, talent as a performer, magic being more difficult to resist, friendship from the Fair Folk and inherent magic for sowing discord, conjuring beautiful (but destructive) music and similat abilities. Some of her most treasured followers are said to be able to use any magic items regardless of restrictions, just as rogues do.
   Maeve is mercurial and wild, however, and when she intervenes in a follower's life, the result may be either lavish blessings or terrible fury, regardless of how much of her favour a worshipper possesses or whether she is offended -- though of course negative interventions are more likely when she is angry, and positive ones when she is pleased.
