Description

Merri'llmnbar is usually depicted as a tall, beautiful, slim Elf with piercing blue eyes and light blonde almost white hair dressed in blue silk with a crown of crystal on her head. Merri'llmnbar gifted the Elves with the ability to be unparalleled in the realm of graceful dancing. She is also the counter to her sister's rampant libido, championing Courtly/Romantic Love rather than Erotic Love. This has partially lead to her being portrayed as frigid to others. However according to the relevant Lore it is shown that beneath the frosty, austere exterior is a warm and caring heart who loves her husband. Holl'onnianya and Merri'llmnbar regularly get into scuffles over how love should be portrayed and the proper place of Romantic and Erotic love usually using their husbands for demonstrations (which usually turns out sexily for everyone involved particularly in Fan Fiction).

Merri'llmnbar's name is invoked at the beginning of any courtship with Elves. A libation is also poured to her at the beginning of any dance or formal occassion. She is honored at the beginning of the Winter with the festival of Klo'Merrion. Interestingly she is not worshiped only by Elves but by some Betterthanwatermenstor's as well. The main reason is because there is no Elven Deity corresponding to Water but there are Deities for the other 3 Primary Elements and the Betterthanwatermenstor's treat this as another reason why Ice is superior to Water. Merri'llmnbar has made no formal statement on this topic.
