Fae god of dreams, hope, and twilight. Luthanis was once a lord of the Mirage who ascended to godhood in pursuit of Illythia, the Moon. He gathered power through the dreams of mortals, shaping their hopes and fears until he had enough to rise beyond the Mirage and stand beside her. He is generally gentle and patient, but still unmistakably fae in nature: otherworldly, unpredictable, and capable of being dangerous when slighted.

All dreams fall within Luthanis’s domain, including daydreams and fleeting thoughts.

He does not simply observe dreams,he can influence them, guide them, and sometimes reshape them. To Luthanis, redemption is itself a kind of dream:

• The hope to become something better
• The regret that lingers like a nightmare
• The quiet belief that change is possible

He does not force redemption, but he ensures it is always present as an option, even if only within a dream.

Darkness is also part of his domain, not as destruction, but as a necessary state:

• A place to rest
• A place to hide
• A place to confront what must be faced

Without darkness, there is no dawn. Without dreaming, there is no change.

Animals: Deer, wolves
Colors: Deep violet, navy blue, silver, pale gold, pearl
Celestial: The moon in all phases

Omens and Signs:

• Vivid dreams under direct moonlight are considered a sign of his attention or favor
• A candle burning an unusual color at night may indicate his presence
• Sudden, peaceful sleep during times of distress can be taken as a blessing

Motifs:

• Antlers traced with starlight
• Forms that shift between beast and spirit
• Reflections that do not quite match reality

Luthanis rarely appears in a fixed form. In dreams, he is typically a shifting figure that feels familiar, but not entirely correct.

Common aspects include:

• A stag with antlers made of constellations
• A wolf with a long flowing mane of starlight
• A tall figure cloaked in darkness, with features obscured by moonlight
• A person the dreamer recognizes, though subtly altered

There is always something off, something that makes it clear he is not of the mortal world. He originated in the Mirage and never fully left that nature behind.

Luthanis is worshipped by those who live in the quiet spaces between certainty and change.

Common Followers:

• Druids and natural mystics
• Scholars of illusion and prophecy
• Those seeking redemption or escape from their past
• The weary, the hopeful, and the lost

Some worship him directly. Others revere him as a path to the moon.

- Rest, so that you may rise again - Face your darkness - Change is always possible, even if only in dreams - Offer others the hope you once needed

Clergy of Luthanis vary widely, but share a common purpose: to guide, to soothe, and to awaken possibility.

They may be: - Half-awake mystics who interpret dreams - Gentle caretakers offering rest and refuge - Wandering guides who help others confront their past

They are not always soft-spoken. Dreams can whisper—but they can also roar.

Many offer sanctuary, even to fugitives, believing that transformation is more sacred than punishment.
