Lydia

Lydia is the goddess of Music, Knowledge, and Daylight, shown as a dynamic older woman with white hair and clear blue eyes. Her symbol is a spray of colors from an open hand. She interacts with many other gods, exchanging information and songs. In some ways she is the converse of Pholtus, pressing for individual liberty so that others may see the light of truth without being blinded by it; this pleases Trithereon, who also strives for the freedom of the individual.

Dogma: "People must gain knowledge to better themselves. Music is a key to learning, and the light of day lets one see their own ignorance."

Church: Lydia's church has an open policy on all records, for the goddess hates secrets and those who would hoard information to the detriment of others. Her teachings are presented in song form so that they may be easily remembered, and her church often converts current and historical texts into ballads. Her church uses education to uplift women from lesser stations in life; this tends to make her unpopular with patriarchies. Most of her clerics are women. They discover and spread information wherever they travel, and are often found in the company of clerics of Fharlanghn. They are required to help women in need of education, and they spend much of their time in villages teaching women and children how to read and acting as midwives. They travel to discover lost caches of information and song, preferring historical accounts of actual deeds rather than fictionalizations and hearsay tales. Ceremonial garb includes white robes trimmed with gold and silver.

The below rendition of her holy symbol is my own creation, but feel free to copy or modify it for your own use. In keeping with Lydia's teaching regarding knowledge, do not trademark or copyright it.

It's okay to be obsessed with D&D. You could be obsessed with worse things like committing arson or The Bachelor.

Kythons (3.5 Book of Vile Darkness), Zerg (Starcraft), Tyranids (Warhammer 40K), and Voidborn (League of Legends)

NOM NOM NOM NOM

These factions use bioengineered organic weapons and defenses; they use no technology as we currently understand it (stone tools, gears and steam engines, circuitry and wires, etc).

Obsessed with evolution, mutations, etc

Kha'Zix from League of Legends: Change... is gooooood.  Consume and adapt.  

Abathur from Starcraft: Look at flesh, see only potential. Strands, sequences, twisting, separating, joining. See how it could be better. Eat flesh, splinter bone. Inside me, can touch it. Weave it. Spin it. Make it great.

Genestealer cult leader from WH40K: We are biological perfection. We blend the ingenuity and cunning of Mankind with the blessings of the Star Children. We are stronger, faster, more intelligent than any who challenge us. We will take that which is ours from the upworlders, and remake it in the image of our true masters. It is our destiny.

Some of these factions feature a hive mind, like the Swarm Zerg and the Tyranids. The Voidborn are given common purpose by their creators even if they are not directly controlled. The kythons are not mentioned to have such an overriding intelligence, but it may be worth homebrewing.

They side with no one but themselves; they have no need for alliances; they oppose all and consume all.  There is no reasoning with them. 

3/x

How very interesting that the same day I categorize my fantasy and sci-fi enemies as Collectives (Gravemind and the Flood from Halo, the Borg from Star Trek, the Reapers from Mass Effect, etc) or Tyrants (Asmodeus of D&D, Sidious of Star Wars, etc), League of Legends drops the official reveal of Bel’Veth, Empress of the Void, who clearly has aspects of both Collective and Tyrant, having consumed a city and seeking to remake the work in her twisted image where only a chosen few retain their individuality. 

How very very interesting. 

I despise her. 

A bitch needs smote.

I warned your grandfather of what his greed would summon. But he would not listen. You are just like him.

Despite the content being oppressive and depressing and generally everything I despise, the musicality and harmonies are absolutely fire.

Also, this is absolutely a song that goblins would sing under Maglubiyet's tyranny.
