Amazing, lillendi have appeared in [[Pathfinder]]. Their lore is an even further boiled down rendition of their 3e lore, depicting them as Chaotic Good tale-tellers, chroniclers and guardians of art and the wilderness. Male lillendi are no longer mentioned, but there is one lillend NPC in ''Planar Adventures'' who is [[/d/|intersex]]. These lillendi have lost their "loner" status; they are now part of the [[Azata]]s, Pathfinder's own knock-off version of the "[[fairy]] [[angel]]s" concept seen in 2e's [[Eladrin]]. They are sometimes associated with the goddess [[Shelyn]], since they have a fairly compatible focus.

The entirety of lillend lore in Pathfinder amounts to this:
Among the azatas, lillends are the tale-tellers and chroniclers, gathering lore and recording stories in the form of epic poems and songs. They are generally peaceful, though they are swift to act if they believe a piece of rare art or a talented artist is threatened. A lillend’s lower section is about 20 feet long, and a typical lillend weighs 3,800 pounds.

Although they have no need of mortal nourishment, it is said that lillends sup on the joy of music, art, and performance. They also love unspoiled wilderness and seek out places in the mortal realm that remind them of the beauty of their home plane. From the lore of numerous races come tales of these muses, particularly those that have taken a vested interest in the training of a single talented prodigy or the ongoing creation of some fantastic work of art. Such legends sometimes prove true, as all lillends have their favorite works, creations, and artists, and often visit the Material Plane to enjoy their splendor and make sure they remain safe. In the defense of such beauty, lillends prove passionate foes, calling upon the might of nearby allies or crushing philistines in their striking but deadly coils.

Someone on the Paizo design team, probably the same person who has a BDSM fetish everyone can see got a bit warped by popping one awkward boner at ''Hellraiser'' too many from a young and impressionable age, has really got it in for seeing them suffer.  If there's some horribly-tortured celestial that's needed to embody a new template, it's probably a lillend.
