I've always considered being Leyan a way of life for Evelith - she respects Leya, but she doesn't worship her as a Goddess. It's like being vegetarian, except instead of eating aubergine eggplants, she concentrates on martial arts and is a strong female elf in a land of macho-macho men. It's just something you do. Evelith's devotion rests with Ronan, but many of her actions are Leyan.

Evelith does have a ritual she performs once a week, or upon entering a particularly overwhelming battle. Sometimes she'll go to an altar, but generally it's something she does quietly (using mychar's). I got the idea from Steven Pressfield's book Last of the Amazons, which was just an amazingly fun read and gave me alot of ideas about Amazons. Evelith will kiss her blade, and slightly cut the tip of her tongue or her lips to draw a tiny bit of blood. She then says that she has claimed first blood, so it belongs to no one else, and that she has now tasted death and will not fear it. It centers her before battle. It's usually a little more flowery than that, but hey.


I <3 Leya, too!

You would have thought that that first had had had had good occasion to be seen as had, had you not? Had had had approval but had had had not; equally it is true to say that that that that had had approval but that that other that that had not.

As a player, I've always thought Leya was a pretty cool mutt. The story of her life is an awesome one, too. It was one of those first stories I had heard in GS, years and years ago, which engrossed me pretty heavily into the history of the game.

Sepher has a mild respect for her, but it hurts her, in his opinion, to be the daughter of Kai.
