Allir (All-ear)
Overview
Sibling to Mehena and ex spouse of the drow goddess Lolth. They’re the leader of the elven pantheon, and the very race of elves is said to have sprung from their blood during their many battles with Moldros of the orc pantheon. They embody the highest ideals of elvenkind, working as a powerful war deity when need be and protecting his chosen people with the careful hands of an artisan.Portfolio and Responsibilities
They are a god whose portfolio includes arts, crafts, elves (esp. High elves), magic (elven magic, High Magic), music and bards, poetry and poets, war and warriors. Allir's church emphasizes their protective and artisan aspects over their role as ruler of the elves. They watch over the borders of elven land, guard elven communities, help shape the appearance of elven settlements, and create beautiful items for use within the community and trade without. It is rare to find one of their clerics in a position of leadership, although they often act as intermediaries in disputes among the sylvan races and assist elven governments to assure smooth functioning. Their clerics wore silver circlets and gossamer robes of the brightest azure.Divine Domains

Physical Description
Body Features
In religious depiction, Allir used to be able to call many forms their true form but fixated his to that of a male high elf. This did not mean that they lost the ability to take other forms like that of a female elf. Either of these forms looked beautiful and while the first impression of these forms was how lithe and swift these seven feet tall forms were, the strength in them was obvious to everyone who saw him.
