%% Lirnal, the Lord of Lies is the Abyssal Planes deity of Twilight and Trickery. He also has the names Linra (Elvish) and Linvom (Dwarvish).

Evergloam

Evergloam

Evergloam is a plane of darkness and deceit. The trees and caves seem to stretch on forever, and the shadows seem to move of their own accord. Lirnal, the Lord of Lies, reigns over this realm with an iron grip. He delights in trickery and manipulation, and the fiends that call Evergloam home are no different. Mortals who venture into this realm are warned to keep their wits about them, lest they fall prey to the seductive whispers of the fiends. The creatures of Evergloam are skilled in the art of deception, using their guile and charm to lure unsuspecting travellers into traps or swindle them out of their possessions. The light in this plane is forever dim, and mortals who spend too much time there may find themselves losing their sense of reality and succumbing to the darkness.
