Patron of Will and Inspiration
The ancient god of Will and Inspiration, Ieau is often portrayed either as an ethereally pale Elven man with pure white eyes and hair the color of midnight, or a sable colored unicorn. In ages past, Ieau was widely revered by the Elves for his reason and artistry. Despite the often passionate nature of these pursuits, Ieau was never known to show much, if any, emotion. Even so, artists of all backgrounds were once known to pay homage to Ieau, and some still keep small shrines or altars to him, praying for his divine inspiration.

It is said that the first play was created by Ieau, who wrote it for his brothers and sisters to perform in the heavens. There are as many different versions of the play itself as there are bards and tale-tellers in all the world.

Worship

Ieau was worshipped formally in temples that were tended by clerics, most often of elvish blood. Every temple of Ieau was a thing of pure graceful beauty. Each is slightly different, created from the inspiration of its head priest, though all are built of trees which have been charmed to entwine as they grow with elaborate black stone carvings to create walls and ceilings. The floors of Ieau’s temples are all of well kept grass, as the priests and priestesses of Ieau traditionally believed that unicorns do not prefer floors of wood and stone.

These temples served multiple purposes. They were first and foremost places of worship, where one might come to pray, offer a tribute to Ieau, or ask guidance of one of the priests or priestesses. They were secondly places of sanctuary for travelers and artists alike, as long as there was room to be had. Thirdly, the temples served as schools of sorts, where open lectures on the virtues of focused will and freely explored inspiration and classes in the arts were held.

Holy Day

Ieau was celebrated in the first day of spring. Said to be the day the world is inspired to create itself anew, this day is still often celebrated with picnic feasts, at which chimes are often hung in every reachable tree to catch and announce the passage of the wind.
