Elven Deities and Divinities

Elven Deities

(The Greater Deities, among the high elves Often envisioned in “The Elaborate Court,” a great spiraling elven castle, where Elven deities from all the places in the multiverse can meet in conference, council, feast, music, poetry, etc.)

Elven deities–the older ones, the ones representing the natural world and its cycles especially–are likely to have mystery cults among some of their followers.

Many elves, especially Wood Elves, revere any number of (or none) the deities below yet still hold to an animistic outlook on things, both living and non-living. Every being has a brendel, a “soul”--a kind of personal life force, and a personality. We can communicate with these beings, give to and take from them, support them and love them, or turn against them.
