Description: There is no known physical manifistation of Leira.

	Leira is a goddess of deception and illusion, both natural and magical. Leira can
	be anything, anywhere, that is not what it seems. Few worship Leira outside the ranks
	of illusionists, since few other types of characters see profit in misunderstanding
	and deception though many pay her homage to ward her off or placate her before
	important decisions and judgments are made. She is seen as a neutral rather than
	evil because she represents the caprices of nature and not deliberate deceit (that
	is the province	of Mask).


Clerical Information:

	Clericy Name:

	Main Temple Location:

	Clericy Description: The church of Leria has large numbers of priests and illusionist
		in its organization. Exact numbers are unknown because members of the faith
		cheefully lie about its tenets,	organization, numbers and powers. Relations
		between various followers in the hierarchy are good, mainly because no one
		knows fully what is going on.

		Making matters worse is the fact that all of the church hierarchy dress in
		the same manner--long, cowled robes with a smooth, silvered globe worn as
		a mask.The mask runs down to the chin, but bulges out so the priest can
		still breathe and speak normally.The mask is made of silvered glass so the
		wearer can see normally, though everything looks rather dim. These masks are
		blessed to resist shattering and to reflect the time of day.

		The silvered mask will reflect gaze attacks from creatures whose atacks can
		be reflected by mirrors, though the priest can still see the creature and be
		affected; the priest gains a +3 bonus on saving throws vs. gaze weapons.
		Vampires, who hate mirrors, seek to slay Leiran priests	whenever possible.

		The color of the orb depends on a number of factors, including the time of
		day (red is for	morning, blue for afternoon, rust for dusk, and gray for night).

		Leiran priests are called whatever they choose to be called, and official
		titles vary from day to day and from person to person. Pompous titles are
		often followed by misleading ones (this week's high pontiff is next week's
		acolyte).

		Given their tendencies to prevaricate, priests and devoted followers of Leira
		are at best tolerated, but usually mistrusted. A sure sign that a Leiran priest
		trusts you is not that he does not lie, but that his lies are obvious lies,
		huge tales without a shred of plausibility.
