Way of worship

No real doctrine and organization exists within the church of Tyralio. Due to his own disregard for rules and law, he would not subject his worshippers to be beholding to certain tenets. Most attempts at organizing a religion, with tenets, a clergy and structure have failed, as it is an affront to The Prince Of Deceit.

Worshipping him is often done through small everyday deeds; telling jokes, questioning authority, and sowing small seeds of chaos in the world. Festivities is often used as a way of worship, breaking the monotonous pattern of everyday and giving in to folly for some time.

Realm & Residence

Labyrinthia, Tyralio's Maze, is a neutral plane, where souls devoted to Tyralio go. As the name suggests, the entire plane is one big labyrinth containing everything from cities to wilderness. The layout is quite confusing with many dead ends, impossible stairs and irregular gravity. In addition, illusion magic runs rampant, creating sometimes humorous - sometimes deadly situations. Tyralio's Palace lies in the center of the labyrinth, and legend says that anyone that can find their way there, will be granted a wish and permanent residence there. This challenge becomes the goal for many of the souls spending their eternity here.

Stories & Fables

Delecsyos' Conception

Legend says that during a festival, Amaras - Goddess of Love and Tyralio had a drinking contest. Amaras was the challenger and demanded a son if she won, and Tyralio would get the recipe to her famous love potion, if she lost. Tyralio confidently accepted and they brought out two barrels of mead. They each started drinking and it soon became apparent that Tyralio would win. But Amaras was conniving and had laced Tyralio's barrel with the love potion. When Tyralio had finished the barrel and won, he had become deeply in love with Amaras. Even though he won, he forgot all about it and was completely seduced. He ended up giving Amaras a son after all and when the deed was done, the effect of the love potion had faded. Tyralio became furious and cursed the child. Amaras birthed Delecsyos - God of Indulgence who was born with the legs of a goat and goat horns. He came the first Satyr.
