	* The Thespian Queen: Iobairtin harbors a gentle but unmistakable crush on Cealgran, admiring her beauty, brilliance, and emotional intensity from a distance. Cealgran is keenly aware of this affection and finds it flattering, but ultimately dismisses it as naïve, seeing Iobairtin’s sincerity as a poorly written role. Their interactions are polite and warm on the surface, but Iobairtin is quietly wounded by how easily her devotion is treated as disposable material.		* The Thespian Queen: Iobairtin harbors a gentle but unmistakable crush on Cealgran, admiring her beauty, brilliance, and emotional intensity from a distance.

	* The Wayward King: Lugh and Iobairtin are genuine friends who enjoy each other’s company, especially during festivals that pass through her domains. Lugh adores her warmth and treats her like a beloved aunt figure, while Iobairtin indulges him with food, shelter, and kindness she knows he will never quite repay. Beneath the affection, she quietly worries that he takes refuge in motion to avoid responsibility, while he avoids lingering long enough to feel her disappointment.		* The Wayward King: Lugh and Iobairtin are genuine friends who enjoy each other’s company, especially during festivals that pass through her domains.

			=Orisons=

			Most of Iobairtin's Orisons are Pixies, though she forms pacts with mortals on rare occasions. Her mortal Orisons tend to be volunteers, caregivers, nurses, teachers, and parents. Here are some of the most notable of her Orisons.

			* Caleth of the Empty Bowl. Elf, Pelithos, Dawn Age, Alive. A wandering healer who famously gave away all his provisions during a famine, surviving by accepting only what others freely offered in return. His journals are often cited by scholars as the clearest mortal articulation of Iobairtin’s doctrine of meaningful sacrifice.
			* Sera Many-Hands. Human, Acrolon, Dark Age, Deceased. A battlefield quartermaster who repeatedly volunteered for doomed supply runs during the Realm War, losing fingers to frostbite and shrapnel over successive campaigns. She claimed each loss clarified her purpose, and later founded a charitable order that still operates under vows of abnegation.

	* The Keening Women: Draoi the Matron of the Keening women looks on Iobairtin as a daughter figure, aligning with Iobairtin's philosophy and knowing the meaning that comes from the sacrifice a mother must make for her children. Iobairtin accepts this dynamic, regarding Draoi as a wise but stifling mother figure. The other Keening Women silently observe this relationship with cautious intrigue.		* The Keening Women: Draoi the Matron of the Keening women looks on Iobairtin as a daughter figure, aligning with Iobairtin's philosophy and knowing the meaning that comes from the sacrifice a mother must make for her children.

	* The Lady of the Web: Iobairtin openly admires the Lady of the Web, mistaking Lolth’s radiant authority and ritualized reverence for a kind of sacred intimacy. Lolth, in her Bright aspect, neither encourages nor rejects the attention, she finds Iobairtin’s devotion flattering and useful, accepting the philosophy of sacrifice as a form of worship, but she is made uneasy by the arrangement in ways she cannot describe.		* The Lady of the Web: Iobairtin openly admires the Lady of the Web, mistaking Lolth’s radiant authority and ritualized reverence for a kind of sacred intimacy.

			* The Never Queen and Promised King: Morrigan stalks Iobairtin with a cold, acquisitive interest, seeing her endless self-sacrifice as a weakness ripe for exploitation, while Finvarra relentlessly berates Iobairtin for what he sees as her refusal to claim a destiny of her own. Iobairtin, for her part, treats them both with infuriating compassion, responding to Morrigan’s predation with open concern and to Finvarra’s scorn with quiet disappointment. The dynamic leaves both Never Queen and Promised King deeply unsettled, as neither pursuit nor condemnation seems capable of moving her.
	* The Porcelain Queen and Grey King: Iobairtin treats Rhiannon and Arawn as dependable subordinates, trusting them agree with her on matters of sacrifice that result in an ending (as many do). The Twins, in turn, are utterly certain of her authority on matters of sacrifice, viewing her as the one Bright ruler who understands the concept of finality. Their loyalty is a silent agreement between the Concordant Gods.		* The Porcelain Queen and Grey King: Iobairtin treats Rhiannon and Arawn as dependable subordinates, trusting them agree with her on matters of sacrifice that result in an ending (as many do).

Their loyalty is a silent agreement between the Concordant Gods.
	* The Sleeping Queen: Iobairtin and Aisling share an unlikely and complex semi-romantic relationship. Iobairtin's hollowness from sacrifice is proximal enough to oblivion that it is less dangerously addictive to her. And the consequences of Aisling's endless appetite for escape gives Iobairtin no end of opportunities to sacrifice, sometimes to a toxically enabling degree.		* The Sleeping Queen: Iobairtin and Aisling share an unlikely and complex semi-romantic relationship.

	* The Spider Queen: Iobairtin and the Spider Queen once shared a dark, intimate relationship based on painful sacrifice, and for a time that common ground was enough for them to connect intimately. The relationship ended in exhaustion: Iobairtin realized she could not keep offering herself as the instrument of suffering, and the Spider Queen accepted this with rare restraint, judging the suffering already given as sufficient payment. Their separation is “amicable” only by Bleak standards, no vendetta, no punishment, just a quiet, mutual acknowledgment that the debt has been settled.		* The Spider Queen: Iobairtin and the Spider Queen once shared a dark, intimate relationship based on painful sacrifice, and for a time that common ground was enough for them to connect intimately.

	* The Bitter Queen: Iobartin considers Maeve a fast friend, while Maeve considers Iobartin prey. Maeve delights in cultivating the friendship, encouraging Iobairtin’s warmth and trust while quietly steering her generosity into ever more vulnerable positions. Iobairtin, for her part, interprets Maeve’s attention as genuine affection and feels compelled to give more of herself to sustain it. The tragedy of the relationship is that the faster they bond, the easier Maeve’s hunt becomes, and the less Iobairtin is able to recognize it as one.		* The Bitter Queen: Iobartin considers Maeve a fast friend, while Maeve considers Iobartin prey.

	* The Bloated King: Iobairtin and Mammon are frustrated rivals. While it seems on the surface that their philosophies should create feedback loop of meaning, their ideologies actively nullify one another. Gifts freely given in Iobairtin’s Court lose the metaphysical weight Mammon needs to claim value, while sacrifices offered to Mammon are stripped of meaning before Iobairtin can sanctify them as generosity. Each sees the other not merely as an enemy, but as a being whose very presence drains nourishment from the acts they depend upon, an endless irritation that can never be resolved, only circled.		* The Bloated King: Iobairtin and Mammon are frustrated rivals.

			* The Cake Queen and Candy King: Iobairtin once pursued Siucran and Milseach as a romantic interest, believing that her philosophy of giving could harmonize with their joy through inclusion. The Sweet Couple declined gently but firmly, viewing their bond as something deliberately closed and self-sufficient, which left Iobairtin wounded more in pride than in heart. Since then, the relationship has settled into an awkward cordiality: Siucran remains fond but cautious, Milseach is politely distant, and Iobairtin masks her lingering embarrassment behind exaggerated warmth whenever they meet.
	* The Cartography Queen and Hearth King: Iobairtin, Neasa, and Nuada regard one another as scholarly peers, their philosophies distant enough from each other that they can each learn something of the quest of meaning together. Their interactions often resemble academic arguments that never quite end. The result is a relationship of mutual respect laced with frustration, where every shared discussion feels like a seminar that runs too long and resolves nothing.		* The Cartography Queen and Hearth King: Iobairtin, Neasa, and Nuada regard one another as scholarly peers, their philosophies distant enough from each other that they can each learn something of the quest of meaning together.

	* The First Queen: Iobairtin relates to Caedra as a doting parent, offering constant worry, concern, care, and encouragement. Caedra accepts this attention fondness, and often humors Iobairtin's gestures. To Iobairtin, Caedra is someone to protect and believe in; to Caedra, Iobairtin is a kindness she never asked for, but would never bother to refuse.		* The First Queen: Iobairtin relates to Caedra as a doting parent, offering constant worry, concern, care, and encouragement.

			* The Bitter Queen: Iobartin considers Maeve a fast friend, while Maeve considers Iobartin prey. Maeve delights in cultivating the friendship, encouraging Iobairtin’s warmth and trust while quietly steering her generosity into ever more vulnerable positions. Iobairtin, for her part, interprets Maeve’s attention as genuine affection and feels compelled to give more of herself to sustain it. The tragedy of the relationship is that the faster they bond, the easier Maeve’s hunt becomes, and the less Iobairtin is able to recognize it as one.
			* The Bloated King: Iobairtin and Mammon are frustrated rivals. While it seems on the surface that their philosophies should create feedback loop of meaning, their ideologies actively nullify one another. Gifts freely given in Iobairtin’s Court lose the metaphysical weight Mammon needs to claim value, while sacrifices offered to Mammon are stripped of meaning before Iobairtin can sanctify them as generosity. Each sees the other not merely as an enemy, but as a being whose very presence drains nourishment from the acts they depend upon, an endless irritation that can never be resolved, only circled.
	* The First Queen: Iobairtin relates to Caedra as a doting parent, offering constant worry, concern, care, and encouragement. Caedra accepts this attention fondness, and often humors Iobairtin's gestures. To Iobairtin, Caedra is someone to protect and believe in; to Caedra, Iobairtin is a kindness she never asked for, but would never bother to refuse.		* The First Queen: Iobairtin relates to Caedra as a doting parent, offering constant worry, concern, care, and encouragement.

	* The Sleeping Queen: Iobairtin and Aisling share an unlikely and complex semi-romantic relationship. Iobairtin's hollowness from sacrifice is proximal enough to oblivion that it is less dangerously addictive to her. And the consequences of Aisling's endless appetite for escape gives Iobairtin no end of opportunities to sacrifice, sometimes to a toxically enabling degree.		* The Sleeping Queen: Iobairtin and Aisling share an unlikely and complex semi-romantic relationship.
