Editing Drusilia (section)

== Overview ==
Drusilia is the goddess of love, fertility, and vitality. Where Ishtar is a heavenly goddess devoted to all life and a number of domains, Drusilia is more focused on the love between two people, rather than specifically childbirth. However, she is definitely in conflict with Ishtar in places and people rarely honor both goddesses. 

Drusilia is a young, winged woman commonly associated with birds. She surrounds herself with a large retinue of swans and maidens, which she calls lasae. The lasae are spirit guardians who follow people during life and guard their graves after death. Each person has his or her own lasa. They carry mirrors which are used to hold a person’s best memories. 

Her aim is not to help others procreate, but rather to aid lovers in finding one another. In this regard, she is quite a naive goddess. In a violent world, her aims are almost comical, but this does not stop young men and women from worshipping her, and continuing on until a first child is born. 

She is a gossamer lining of silver amongst a world of dark clouds. 

But there is a dark, seductive part of Drusilia that only the wisest rulers have come to understand. In fact, in most cities, Temples of Drusilia are not allowed within city walls. Young men, women, and even mothers are so enthralled by the goddess’ allure, temples must be kept from one’s sight, "lest those who are easily beguiled be brought into the temple every day."
