Home Plane: Elysium, The Gates of the Heavenly Realms, The Children’s Gardens
Portfolio: Light, Law, The Sun, Healing, Children, Childbirth, Motherhood, Hearth, Growth
Worshippers: Midwifes, Healers, Caregivers, Matrons, Anyone who wishes to invoke a strong bond with a child.
A warmth all encompassing and welcoming is the first thing one would feel around this ball of light. Gryla is an odd looking dragon. She stands typically at 120ft tall from shoulder to floor, her neck and head length topping her total ‘height’ at a whopping 200ft tall. If you don’t count the feather crown she has. From her nose to the tip of her tail she’s a staggering 540ft long. For the sake of others she usually shrinks her size down to that of a 10ft tall, 40ft long dragon. Especially when she has to meet with the others at the round table. Gryla’s scales are hard to place a single color on. In most initial sightings they are a pearlesque white, however there’s a striking underhue that shifts with her mood. This underhue is a form of bioluminescence that rare beasts have. It gives Gryla her light effect. On top of them being bioluminescent, her scales also are nearly impossible to peirce. Her wings are not in the typical dragon fashion as they are feathers. Each feather gives off a trail of glowing dust, if plucked the feather disintegrates into a fine powder. When she flies Gryla produces a rainbow hue in her cloud trail.
This isn’t her only form as the female is able to shift into a humanoid. She stands just under her Father’s chin. Long pale golden locks trail down her shoulders to pool around her toes for a few feet. She keeps her hair in a ponytail bound about midway down her back. The rest of her hair is braided with golden chains, these chains have bells attached so they give her a musical tone. In her dragon form these chains and bells are wrapped around the hair that spills from behind her feather frill around her head. Her body build is a slender wisp of a female. She looks extremely weak, don’t trust this. Her skin is a soft peach that’s lightly kissed by the Sun.
Dogma: Gryla is about forgiveness. For any and all evils against her. As for her followers, that’s a different story, she doesn’t tolerate evils against them, especially her expecting mothers or children. She imparts the compassion to care for all who come to her seeking comfort. Regardless of who or what they are.

Historical Facts
She was one of the first Dragons to breathe, born from sheer energy of the cosmos.
She is the younger twin sister to Corinthia.
She is still a virgin.
She loves to bake, this is a lore fact as she has many times baked or cooked something for an evil creature that has led to a comical moment of friendship.
She doesn’t demand things from her worship. She merely wants them to live peacefully.
Backstory: Gryla Lightsong was born from the energy of the cosmos. With her birth came the Dawn. Quite literally. She brought about a new age of Light with her birth. How she gained the Draconic blood no one actually knows. She was supposed to be birthed as an Angel, or in the likeness of one. Her being the first dragon birthed from the cosmos was just a fluke.
Gryla was always the most innocent one of the deities. She didn’t like fighting or yelling, something that her Father thought was odd to spring up in a child born from two Deities of Combat. Gryla had a personality opposite of both her parents. She learned it instead from the other Deities, oddly enough…Corvus. The Deity of Death was one of the primary companions to the twins as they developed due to his knowledge of herbs and healing. Gryla can recall clearly her lessons in healing with the elder. Her days learning the sword with him as well. She learned the sword as a means of defense in a crisis. Her Father taught her everything else she knows, including cooking and caring for children.
She was well aware of her Father’s mortal born children. Having enjoyed playing with them when she was able to sneak away. When she heard of what was going to befall the Demi’s she couldn’t stop them. After her sister fulfilled her Primal sanctioned duty by turning her bow to the one who transgressed against another deity, she saw her sister punished in the worst way. In her rage she cried black tears of emotion, the tears forming into a necklace that was later used as a key to unleashing her sister. On top of these tears, Gryla also caused an Age of Darkness where she didn’t allow the Sun to cycle for 500 years. As punishment for this crime against Life itself, in order for her necklace to be a proper key to releasing her sister from her prison it must be bathed in Gryla’s blood. Gryla cannot do this willingly, she must fight a creature or creatures of darkness and lose.
Since her sister’s punishment Gryla has taken over as a nature deity to promote growth. However, she is not the observer of the end of the natural cycle. Gryla adores everything she gets to do. A few notable things that Gryla is known for would be that she is the creator of the Holy Dragons of the Sun. Having created them in honor of her bond with her Father. As well as the cultivation of a garden to protect the last of the Unicorn herds.
