Known Lore:
Sheylynn is the Long-time companion of Seir and they are known to be together. For a long time, she was known as one of the Bhamori, wearing her mask of mortality to draw people close to her- but specifically to target Seir. Her plans, long and intricate, worked flawlessly. As her mask of Kasim and Sheylynn, she tricked everyone, her deception so complete it even fooled the Gods. Once she regained her official status as one of the Pantheon, she worked long and hard to gain more control and power. This put her in direct odds with Kestia, who was able to see through her. Sheylynn left the forefront of the realms to wander with Seir, keeping him under her thumb and their bond strong.

Origin:
Though people said that she was once human and joined with Kasim to save Seir, she would never have been able to do this if she was not already a true God. This was part of her long plot to trick Seir and the Gods, she always was a God and Kasim was one of her forms in her Deception of the Realms. By making Seir think he had a choice in binding them together, she had the subtle Domination over him. Born of Desire and Greed, she wants it all but is willing to play the long game to get it. The thing she wanted most was Seir and in the end, feigning her weakness and willingness to help him, she got what she wanted. She has had many faces in the Realm and wore them all for her amusement in the Deception.

Tenets:
- Master yourself, or you can never master another.
- Be cunning when you deceive, it is not about lying.
- Think ahead. Always be prepared for anything.
- What is mine is mine, what is yours is also mine even if you don't realize it yet.
- Tyranny takes many forms and none so intoxicating as that of those who give themselves willingly to it.
- In the end, Might make Right.

Symbols, Depictions and Colors:
- Red and Black
- A Gauntlet Fist
- A heart Bound in Chains

Followers, Worship & Relationship with Mortals:
Those who follow her tend to be warriors or thieves, politicians rulers, assassins and slaver's. Those who seek to dominate the fields of battle, or desire to use their skills of deception to get ahead. She is there in the ear and minds of leaders, gaining a foothold over Empires. Many Warlords and Tyrant worship her for Might Makes Right.

Place in the Pantheon & Relationships:
Sheylynn is mostly neutral to the other gods save for Kestia and Seir, the former whom she loathes and wishes to see fail and the latter whom she covets. In her attempts to not be swayed by personal feelings, she is only swayed by the two of them and will easily place a black mark in her ledger on the Gods.
