Iledrith is Eos’ deity of magic, and their devotion to this portfolio is absolute. Unlike the other gods, avatars and manifestations of this deity have never been seen, and Iledrith is never known to get involved with the affairs and politics of nations and mortals. A remote, mysterious entity, not even their gender is truly known (though opposing sects alternately claim them to be male or female).
Every moment of Iledrith’s attention is focused on expanding and empowering magic for the use of all, and their clerics are expected to join in this endeavor, be it by researching and practicing arcane magic, teaching the common folk not to fear it, or by defending wizards, scholars and academies. Many works of magic which would otherwise be impossible were achieved through Iledriths’s blessing, and often through the intercession of one of their high priests.
Iledrith is an ancient deity, but one that was a minor demigod for much of Eos’ ancestral history. It is known that in those remote times magic was far weaker, many of the spells of today were hard or even impossible to cast. In that period, martial skill or the use of the mysterious powers of creatures like the Mind Flayers were the only avenues to greatness. With the rise of the worship of Iledrith, magic has bloomed into prominence. The preachers for the faith say that as the worship of Iledrith continues to spread and grow, the world will enter a golden age where even commoners can work magic, and great wonders will be possible. Nay-sayers and rivals of the faith spread cautionary tales of a future Age of Shadow, with magical tyranny and unimaginable destruction.
