God of Festivals, Performing Arts, and Humor
(Pantheon of Liabo)

Cholen is the God of festivals and the performing arts. The offspring
of Imaera and Eonak,
he is the twin brother of Jastev.
Patron of celebrations and all that goes with them, Cholen is renowned
for his bright demeanor, his mastery of music, song, and dance,
and of his mischievous nature. All performing skills commonly seen
at festivals fall within his domain, and muttered prayers to Cholen
are not uncommon among jugglers, actors, and bards who frequently
perform at them.
The many comedies whose plots revolve around mistaken identity
and cross-gender disguises owe their basis, at least in part, to
Cholen’s penchant for cross-gender pranks, although his disguises
are generally acknowledged as being more complete than most acting
troupes could ever manage.
Cholen's preferred humanoid manifestation is that of a young man
with summer-sun gold hair, blue eyes and a slight build. He is arrayed
in fine but exaggerated clothing, and he favors a great cloak with
patches of every color and shape imaginable. In manner, he is playful
and mocking. His symbol is a crimson lute on a field of gold.
