The Elven Pantheon

The elven people have many gods they pay homage to, but a handful of gods hold a higher place than the rest in the history of the elven race.

Yaeger

The patriarch of the elven pantheon, Yaeger appears as an ancient elf clad in robes of shimmering white. According to elven legend, Yaeger brought the elves to Aabahran millennia ago to escape a world where magic was dying. He placed them in the forest of Danatha'nir and blessed them with the promise that so long as they remained united as a race, no enemy could prevail against them. Sadly, this blessing ended when the drow turned their backs on their kindred.

Sylestra

Goddess of Nature in the elven pantheon, she is occasionally seen as an elven woman with hair of silver, her age dependent on the seasons; young in the spring to ancient in the winter. More often, though, she is seen as a great silver unicorn, and these creatures are considered sacred to her. She is worshipped mainly by the Sylvan elves, but a few of the High elves of Shasarazade pay homage to her in the Unicorn Grove outside of the city gates.

Yuul

The elven god of War, he appears as a young elven warrior clad in shining armor made of mithril. He wields the sword 'Elstra'ad', said to have the power to cleave through any natural material as easy as passing through air.

Aya

The male half of the gods of learning, Aya embodies the power of magic for the elves. Often depicted as a wizened old mage, he is said to have taught the elves the secrets of magic in the dawn of time, and it was from the elves that this knowledge spread to the other races.

Mala

Aya's wife, Mala rules over the knowledge of the physical world. She is worshipped primarily by explorers, and is portrayed as a young wo- man dressed in leathers and a traveling cloak. She roams the world, seeking to unlock all its mysteries.

Lloth

The spider goddess Lloth embodies evil in the elven culture, and is worshipped by the drow. She is usually give credit for corrupting a portion of the elven race to create the dark elves, though some specu- late that it was some other evil god posing as Lloth.

Since the fall of the Elven Kingdom in Danatha'nir, many elves have begun to worship the same gods as the rest of Aabahran. Others equate some of these gods with the elven gods, such as Mircea with Aya, and Mhalador with Yuul.
