Idril

Live in balance and you shall live in truth

General Information

Idril is one of the most respected deities of the Pantheon, even though his power lies mostly in the elemental planes. His unquestionable influence over the elements makes him a worthy opponent and an even more valuable ally.

History

Idril's creation is proof that the four basic elements are unseperable from the material plane. It is said the Elemental Prince appeared short after the completion of Kena'an, when the first rain fall and the very first lightning hit a tree and set it on fire. From that very first spark, Idril was born.

Appearance

Idril is described as an androgynous being of elemental might. He uses many different forms when she chooses to visit the material plane. Sometimes he arrives as a marvelous bird, others as some kind of a sea creature or as a powerful fire salamander. In the rare occasion he needs to interact more openly or experience other things, Idril comes to the material plane in the form of an elven ranger. Even in this form though, her characteristics remain vague and fluid. Descriptions say his eyes are the color of the freshly wet soil and his hair is long, blond and so silk it resembles a mist around his head. She is wearing a long coat in the color of the ocean and holds in his hands a flaming shortspear.

Dogma

The Elemental Prince is the protector of the enviroment and the natural order. There are different aspects of him that are worshiped from different groups of people accross the land. Idril has a mastery over all the four elements of fire, water, earth and air. His ultimate goal is the achievement of balance all over Kena'an and the fulfilment of this land's original purpose.

5. The Elemental Unity

Some worshippers honor the god in all his aspects, recognizing that the elements can both nurture and destroy. This path is common among druids and other nature oriented people, who see the balance of creation and destruction as necessary for the world’s equilibrium. They wield all elements, knowing that for every act of creation, there must be destruction, and for every peace, there must be chaos.

Clergy and Temples

Idril's temples come in every variety and shape. From small shrines in the hearts of forests, near ports or even mountaintops, to larger temples in some of the most important cities, there is a sign of the god of balance everywhere to be found around Kena'an. Most of these structures are made from simple materials. His clerics are dressed in the same manner and they usually decorate themselves with various things taken directly from nature. The Elemental Prince has a lot of monasteries dedicated to him and as a result a great number of monks tend to worship her in a way or another.

Relationships

The Elemental Prince tries to stay objective and impartial towards divine conflicts. Besides his vast portfolio he doesn't share much with the other gods of the pantheon. He is a secluded and relative lonely divine being. Yet throughout the ages he has made some exceptions

His closest ally and friend is Sadorian. The two of them have many things in common especially considering the natural order and the preservation of a health enviroment in Kena'an. Idril also has occasional dealings with Verana and it is said he blessed the race of Eaglors that the lady of dreams created.
