Shallah

From a scroll describing the realm of Shallah, Lady of Peace and Love:

She is the gentle breeze that soothes and lingers on your soul. She is the light rain that quenches and cleanses your troubled spirit. She is love, peace and beneficence.

She embodies peace and beauty, love and virtue, well being and beneficence. She is found in all things tranquil and beautiful, all thing which perpetuate love and harmony.

From the beginning of time, Shallah has been impressing Peace into the minds and hearts of mortals, gracefully undoing the influences from War, Wrath and Madness. Her ways are gentle and courteous, firm and stabilizing without toleration of violence and brutality.

To follow Shallah is to live in pursuance of true peace and virtuous love, to accept the vows of self-sacrifice in order to achieve true peace. Those that wield weapons of war and violence are Her enemy, as are those that spread malcontent and hate.

In Shallah is Peace and Love.

History

The Cult of Shallah began in the First Age, shortly after the birth of Caanae. In the year 400 AH, Ayva and Yaksha both had prophetic dreams and when they awoke, were led to create the Cults of Illuminas and Shallah, respectively. Yaksha became the first Prophet of Peace.

In the year 678 AD, Shallah descended upon the city of Antioch during a break in the conflict between the Gods and the Demon Lords to preach a message of Peace and Serenity in a time of great turmoil. It was short-lived, interrupted by Azaoz and Ipstal, whose taunts attracted the attention of Illuminas. As it always happened with those Demons, a battle soon began and it looked as if Azaoz was going to kill Illuminas, but Shallah intervened and took the killing blow. This allowed Illuminas to briefly retreat, regain His strength, and then release it in the form of a massive explosion of light, which obliterated Ipstal and killed the Lord of Light in the process.
