Stories from across Neotellus share this myth: on sleepless nights, if look up at the three moons, you will fall asleep before you know it. This is Lilin's doing. She slips into the moonlight invades people's dreams and steals their vitality.

Name Origin[]

In Mesopotamian demonology, Lilin were hostile night spirits that attack men. They had less power than gods.

In Jewish mythology Lilin (Hebrew:לילין) is a term for night spirits. In Targum Sheni Esther 1:3 King Solomon, who commanded all spirits, had the lilin dance before him. Lilith and her daughter Lilim are both considered to be night spirits. Lilim is also considered by older Jewish tradition to be Cain's wife.

In the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch, Lilin come from the desert and they are similar to shedim.
