Loa Focus - Nieliah
Nieliah is the loa of romance, passion, femininity, sex, beauty, florals, and perfume. Her main colors are pink, green and white, and she loves sweet cakes, expensive liqueurs and perfumes as her gifts and offerings. She absolutely adores both men and women, and revels in every aspect of love and sexuality. Her veve is a stylized heart with a butterfly on each side. Her domains are Good, Love and Pleasure.
Somewhere to the East of Ville des Marai are hotsprings known as Nieliah's Bath. The area is incredibly difficult to find, and it's said that Nieliah guards her oasis jealously so that only those that truly yearn for love are able to find it. Those that bathe in the exceedingly pure water of the hotsprings will find their hearts and passions open wide, and will fall in love with whomever else is bathing in the springs at the time (a DC 18 Willpower check is required and can be intentionally failed; failure means that the PC/NPC has fallen deeply in love with the first person that comes within 10' of them while they are in the sacred water. This is a Charm effect that lasts for as long as the bather is in the water and for 2d4 weeks thereafter. Once this time has elapsed the lovers can choose to part as friends or continue their relationship as they choose).
Nieliah's Bath can affect nearly anyone. |
Nieliah looks like a beautiful woman with rich, dark skin. She wears green and white robes, and always has a crown of seven fresh, pink roses in her hair. Butterflies are sacred to her, and supposedly she is able to see and hear through any butterfly she wishes to. Having a butterfly randomly landing on you is considered good fortune and foretells that the individual will fall in love soon. Intentionally killing a butterfly is said to bring a curse, causing love to reject the killer until amends are made.
