Lliira is the goddess of content-ment, release, joy, happiness, dance, and freedom, and is the patroness of festivals. She has the portfolio of the dead goddess Waukeen. Therefore she has two types of specialty priest: One of Joy, happiness and dance and one of trade, wealth and money.

Lliira's followers are believers in the ability, potential, and talent of the individual, and the celebration of life and its diversity. With the absorption of the church of Waukeen, Lliira's church has become wealthier, but taken on a more responsible air, as it attracts more of the merchant class.

Lliira's priest are known as joybringers, and dress in a mixture of orange and yellow.They are entrusted with the leadership and tasked as plan-makers of festivals. Followers of Lliira are called Lliirans and wear brightly colored outfits, whom adorn themselves with rubies and sapphires. They are known for always having a smile on their lips, and it is unheard of to see one with a frown.

Since the Time of Troubles, the church has attracted many of the former followers and clergy of Waukeen, and many of that faith's old temples have now been reconsecrated to Lliira. With the infusion of new blood, the church has become mildly more responsible and mildly more mercantile. It has also developed a stronger feeling towards personal freedoms.

Both types of Lliira's priest are allowed to wear any type of armor and use bludgeoning weapons, plus the lasso and net. If a priest of Joy uses a weapon which inflicts damage on another, all the priest powers are revoked. This does not apply to undead or non humanoid monsters. The penalty exist until the Lliiran priest spends a full day engaged in meditation and absolution, followed by a big party all night. Priests of Trade do not have this restriction, but are expected to act appropriately.
