Corellon, the Arch Heart

Guardian of spring, beauty, and the arts, Corellon is the patron of arcane magic and the fey. The Founding inspired them to wander the twisted lands, seeding them with the first arcane magics and raising the most ancient of forests. It was by the Arch Heart's hand that the first elves wandered from the Feywild, and for this reason they are considered the Mother and Father of all elves. Those who seek art in all their work, whether magical or mundane, often worship at the altar of Corel­lon. They loathe the Spider Queen and her priestesses for leading the drow astray.
Corellon watches the business of mortals and gods from within the palace of Crescent Grove in the beau­tiful realm of Arborea, surrounded by towering white trees and pillars of marble.

Tenets of Faith

Commandments of Corellon:

• Create, inspire, and find beauty in all that you do.
• Follow the echoes of lost magics, forgotten sites, and an­cient art, for within these lie the Arch Heart's first works.
• Combat the followers of Lolth wherever they might be

Holidays

Corellon's holy day is called Elvendawn, or Midsummer. It is celebrated on the twentieth day of the sixth month, and commemorates the elves' first emergence from the Feywild. Though the Dwendalian Empire doesn't promote the worship of the Arch Heart, the elves of Bysaes Tyl quietly celebrate in private by opening small doors to the Feywild and having a little more wine than usual.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Depiction: Most modern tapestries and tomes depict the Arch Heart as an elven being of impossible grace and beauty, androgynous and alluring, framed by long, wavy, golden hair. They were the inspiration for many early elven art pieces, and elements of their visage or symbol are included in most elven architecture.
