Lirr is usually depicted as a fresh-faced woman with dark blue eyes and long black hair. The goddess carries a tome that can show any prose, poetry, spell, or artwork ever created. Lirr gladly cooperates with all who respect love, learning, and the arts, and opposes those that would destroy love and art or hide it from others. | |||

Lirr teaches that the written word is the lynchpin of civilization.

Lirr's priests wander the world searching for love, lore, poetry, historical tales, magic, and works of art. They sneak into lands controlled by oppressive rulers, seeking to rescue items of interest that are in danger of being destroyed out of either ignorance or malice. Many Lirrian priests train as bards, telling stories and creating works of art rather than singing. Such clerics often find work as scribes, tutors, and artists. Novice priests spend months creating copies of the local temple's archives of scrolls, books, and artwork, which are then distributed among the masses so that others may enjoy them. | |||
