Harmonius appears as a jovial figure with an ever-present smile, surrounded by floating musical notes and ethereal instruments. Often depicted strumming a lyre or blowing a flute, his form seems to sway gently, almost as if he himself is a living musical composition. His gentle eyes radiate kindness, and the aura around him is always relaxed, as if inviting you to sit and share a tune.

Harmonius believes that music is more than just an art form; it is a language, a philosophy, and a key to understanding the universe and oneself. Though he is credited with inventing string instruments, he humbly refuses to take credit, claiming that music is a collective achievement that belongs to all of existence. "Notes were there; I just made them easier to catch," he would say. With his laid-back yet insightful nature, he enjoys jamming with mortal and immortal musicians alike, often anonymously.

Primarily bards, musicians, and anyone who finds solace or wisdom in music. Temples dedicated to Harmonius are more like concert halls, filled with a variety of instruments. Services often involve communal jam sessions, where the worship is expressed through song and musical exploration.
