Desta

Desta, the Archangel of Joy, is a radiant figure within The Choir, embodying the purest forms of happiness, elation, and delight. She is often depicted as a luminous figure clad in vibrant hues of gold and yellow, with wings that shimmer like sunlight dancing on water. Her laughter, it is said, can bring light to the darkest of places, and her mere presence has the power to lift the spirits of all who feel her influence. Mortals pray to Desta not only in moments of celebration but also in times of despair, hoping to draw upon her boundless energy to restore their sense of hope and joy.

Desta's joy is infectious, and her followers strive to spread happiness wherever they go, believing that by doing so, they honor her spirit. Her festivals are lively and filled with music, dance, and laughter, as worshippers seek to embody her ideals of living life with exuberance and gratitude. However, Desta's joy is not naive or shallow; it recognizes the full spectrum of human experience. She teaches that true joy comes not from denying sorrow, but from transcending it. Through her, people learn that joy can be found even in moments of hardship, as long as one has the strength to rise above and embrace the beauty of life.

In her divine role, Desta also fosters creativity, playfulness, and wonder, often guiding artists, poets, and performers in their works. Her influence can be felt in moments of spontaneous laughter, in the thrill of discovery, and in the quiet contentment that comes from a life well-lived. Her clerics are known for their uplifting spirits, spreading joy not through grand acts, but through the simple moments of connection and shared happiness that brighten the world. Wherever Desta's light touches, it leaves behind a spark of joy that continues to burn, long after her presence has faded.
