Andruil
(a.k.a. Lady of Fortune)
Andruil the Huntress, also known as the Lady of Fortune, is the elven goddess of hunt. To the Dalish, she represents their very survival.
Some legends paint Andruil as a daughter of Elgar'nan and Mythal while others suggest she is a child of the earth. In either case Sylaise is known as her sister.
Ghilan'nain, once a mortal elven woman, was Andruil's chosen and/or beloved. There is a number of different stories involving her betrayal at the hands of an elven hunter. In the end, Andruil transformed her into a halla, and Ghilan'nain rose to a godly rank.
In one Dalish legend, Dirthamen gave a secret to each creature to keep, and the foxes traded theirs to Andruil for wings.

Holy Books & Codes
Andruil is the creator of the Vir Tanadhal or Way of Three Trees.
First, the Vir Assan, or Way of the Arrow: fly straight and do not waver.
Second, the Vir Bor'assan, or Way of the Bow: bend but never break.
Third, the Vir Adahlen, or Way of the Forest: receive the gifts of the hunt with mindfulness, or alternatively, together we are stronger than the one.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Andruil's sacred animals are the hare and the hawk. The Dalish also believe that the owl is her messenger.
Veilfire symbols in the Exalted Plains show a hawk and a hare chasing the sun, while in an ancient riddle the owl sees the hunter, the halla flees from it, the dragon hunts it in turn, while the wolf outwits them all.
The constellation Fervanis, commonly referred to as "the Oak," might be a representation of Andruil and the Vir Tanadhal.
