Appearance=
Essan is a handsome man who reminds many of his father, both in looks and airy nature. His hair is long and silver, his skin fair, and his eyes a deep shade of green. He has rather short tapered ears, about a third the length of his parent’s ears, and his back is graced with a pair of silvery plumed wings. In depictions, he dresses in light flowing robes, similar in fashion to Idraen, but less fitted.
Children
Essan began as a muse of sorts himself, but as the world’s population grew, the need for muses stretched beyond his scope, so he set out to create a family of muses beneath him. Seeking out his fellow goddesses, he request that they bear him a daughter to make a muse. Brecha provided him with two daughters, Selacy and Esterr, Acoassa bore him Hela, Erada bore him Reina, Draia gave him Tilen, Luma gave him Lyrasa, Maris bore him Kalet, Areria gave him Rilyn, Fria bore him Totela, and Oleiria gave him Mixika. His daughters Serys and Ibana were born from mortal mothers and ascended. With his goal being the children, his romances left some of the mothers of his daughters feeling used and bitter. For this reason, Glaeria turned him down, the only goddess (aside from his mother) who did not participate.
