Lileath was the Eldar Goddess of Dreams and Fortune. She was the daughter of Isha and Kurnous.

Lileath is very much in the background of the 40k setting, with only passing mentions of her name in most cases. She did have one key roles in events however and it showed how, despite being a goddess, she lacked the ability to realize telling a very angry person some bad news might not be the best course of action...

The goddess could foresee possible events to come in her dreams and she had a vision where the war god Khaine would be torn apart by the mortal Eldar race, the other children of Lileath's parents (and so kind of her brothers and sisters). Instead of talking to someone else about it first to see what they thought, she went and told Khaine and he was understandably a bit miffed. He start butchering the Eldar and this led to the complete mess known as the War in Heaven. Lileath meanwhile was either wringing her hands in horror over what she had done or was rubbing them with glee at what she had done (her level of inner sadistic pleasure at such things has yet to be measured).

Like all the other Eldar gods (well not quite all of them...) she was eaten by Slaanesh as a part of a divine buffet and is currently now in the God's stomach. Lovely. I suppose immortals don't digest well then.

The Eldar name the paradise worlds they created in the past at the height of their empire the Maiden or Lileathan Worlds in honour of the goddess. Unfortunately a lot of other races have now got their hands on the Maiden Worlds and this has led to a lot of conflicts over them.
