Luvas, the Moigthe god of wealth and intrigue, is depicted in Moigthe legend and art as a middle-ages, handsome man with dark hair just starting to grey. He is consort to Uki, the goddess of prophecy who holds court in cave by the sea on the southern shore of Pytharnia.
Luvas as the god of wealth, paid the giants to build him a great, high-timbered hall, he called Ifferadindala (Iffer 'house' + dindala 'steep roof'). The hall can shift between the world of mortals and the other world. Mortals have sometimes dined as guests therein unaware that they were in the residence of a god. The household of Luvas consists of many sons and daughters, supernatural servants, enchanted beasts, and sometimes mortal guests. The goddesses of the Durrhaunvian Triad have occasion to guest in their father’s hall when they are not serving their mother. The god Rhion on special occasions guests at Ifferadindala with much wine and festivity. The bull of the sun is thought sometimes to sleep at night at Ifferadindala and live among the gods during the day.
Uki rarely visits the hall, however, as she lives in a cave by the sea where she holds her court. She is sometimes envious of her husband’s hall as she does not own it. In Moigthe custom, the house is owned by the wife, not the husband. Her three daughters by Luvas, Dáwan, Devahlia, and Dasironessa, usually dwell with her.
Luvas has several schemes to enrich himself. Sometimes, he sets up Ifferadindala as a brothel and visits mortal realms to take in customers. Before these times, he shoos off his wife and daughters if they are present.
Luvas is the god of wealth and intrigue. He is the possessor of knowledge, often critical knowledge. His knowledge is ascribed to his wife, Uki, the goddess of prophecy. He receives the prayers of those who manage and acquire wealth as well as those who steal it. Farra (Parkia) and Mesealdonagh (Orclanx) are the parents of Luvas. Luvas is compared to Threy and Orkybanth in other pantheons of the Gwenyan People. Luvas by Uki is the father of the Durrhaunvian Triad. Luvas has arbitrated disputes between his half-brothers, the gods Túvach and Landruth.
Luvas can take the form of a black raven. He has a giant, dark grey goat called Iugo (or Yugue) the size of a pony that pulls his chariot. But sometimes the goat is unavailable as he is off copulating with other she-goats in the local countryside where Ifferadindala finds itself and Luvas must take another mode of transportation.
Luvas is the father of many children, by his wife Uki, and by other female creatures, both human and otherwise. He is the father of the divinity, Isfalath, by a mortal woman.
The ancient bard Luvasirgwer is named after this god, his name meaning 'horn of Luvas.'
