Myhriss (MEE-ris) is the Power of love, romance, and beauty. As such, she is revered by lovers and romantics throughout Wearth. And though the mass cynicism and ennui that most people on Wearth posses keeps the total number of worshippers of this Power down, the Power and her clergy are not overly worried – for they know that as long as man walks the Wearth, love and romance will inevitable thrive again.

Myhriss, of course, always seen as a women of aching beauty, adorned in silken robes or white and/or red. Her superficial features, however, vary according to whom you ask. Each different culture see her as the most beautiful of their women.

Love can cure the world's ills. Quarreling rivals and warring nations can be brought together with a well-placed romance, and beauty can turn the heart of a dumb beast or a despondent tyrant. Beauty is often fragile, so protect it from accidental harm, as destruction of something beautiful is a great tragedy. Beauty comes in many forms, for even the most evil red dragon is a sight of terrifying splendor when it is on the wing. Celebrate love, affection, romance, and beauty wherever you find it

Services to Myhriss involve proclamations of love between and amongst the congregation and are always accompanied by harp playing. Her symbol is the red heart; representing true love.

Clerics of Myhriss are somewhat starry-eyed and always looking for signs of love and beauty in the people and places around them. Clerics of Myhriss are a warm, friendly folk who get along well with nearly every other church.  The only exceptions are the clerics of evil Powers (naturally) and of Kurell (who find them to be a somewhat flighty lot). The clergy has more female clerics than male, though this disparity is hardly overwhelming.

One seemingly paradoxical aspect of this clergy is it’s stance towards marriage; it does not participate in it. While it may not disapprove of the institution, it will not endorse it, either. Married couples are certainly allowed among Myhriss’ worshippers, but her clerics do not perform ceremonies of marriage and are required to remain celibate (though certainly not chaste).
