Lowyrn (‘lowyrn) or Bidwein (‘bidwein) is the Mesdrist god of distilled beverages, fruits, visions, religious trances, celebrations, festivals, joy, madness, the blue wandering star and patron of riadarths. One of the more popular deities apart from the supreme gods Lwfan and Afan, his devotees, the Bidwenian cult, are well known for organising massive celebrations in his honour. He's most commonly depicted wearing and using the mythical blue gold or llulael, a material that, much like himself, generated from the corpse of the dead Llul, one of two primordial lights that illuminated the early cosmos.

Name

Etymology

His most common name, ‘lowyrn Lowyrn, is very securely theorised to have come from Proto-Namuno-Ethian *Logʰr̥nm̥h₁s, whence also Ascon ‘lagernen Lagernen, Manth ‘lögyrnym Løgyrnym and Ragham lgxrN Lagrą, formed by the roots *logʰ- "to entangle" and *ron "to enjoy, celebrate," and thus roughly translatable as "joyful entangler," or "joyful trickster."

‘bidwein Bidwein instead derives from *Bitwenes, which is theorised to have been the name of a different god in Proto-Namuno-Ethian mythology, meaning "grasping one," although a better translation could be "maddening one" (from *boyt- "to touch, to turn mad").

Epithets

Epithets of Lowyrn include:

Jórmilt jōrmilt (EPh: IŌRMILDIOS Iōrmildios) "the drunken one."
