Erevan Ilesere (AIR-eh-van ILL-eh-seer)
Erevan Ilesere is the embodiment of elven mischief. Unpredictable and ever-shifting, he can change his form on a whim. A lover of fun, he fidgets and flits from task to task, rarely focusing for long. Though his pranks often cause trouble, they're seldom truly harmful or deadly. However, when sylvan creatures or vulnerable elves face danger, Erevan becomes a fierce protector, a champion of the underdog and downtrodden.
Since The Gods War, Erevan became the champion of the downtrodden, a bringer of merriment and hope. He is often called as a thorn in the side of the opressors and he is mostly known for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Forget stuffy temples and rigid rituals. Erevan's followers embrace a delightfully chaotic approach to worship. There's no hierarchy to speak of – repetition is anathema to the Elven Trickster, and coordinating a group effort? Forget about it!
Clergy, Temples and Worshippers
The clerics are a whirlwind of mischief, independent and unpredictable. Their pranks aren't malicious – they simply revel in the joy of a well-executed trick, a delightful jab at authority. Settled, predictable lives? Not for them! They relish disrupting the status quo, be it the rule of law, a powerful figure, or even the mundane routines of life. They scoff at formal duties, preferring to lead by example. Wannabe tricksters can expect lessons in the nimble skills of a mischievous rogue, honed through Erevan's playful dogma. Interestingly, the faithful don't seek to turn the undead, but rather leverage their cunning to convince them to join the fun – a far more fitting tribute to Erevan's playful nature.Eldar Culture

Let your wit be your shield and your mind a labyrinth for the arrogant. True strength lies not in muscle, but in the nimble dance of cleverness. Extend a hand to those struggling under the weight of injustice. Be a protector of the vulnerable, a champion who fights for the underdog with a playful spirit. Challenge tyranny with a smile. Disrupt the schemes of the powerful with playful pranks and illusions, exposing their hypocrisy in the light of laughter. Hoarding is a thief, stealing joy from the world. Redistribute the ill-gotten gains of the greedy, ensuring a melody of fairness resonates throughout society. Life is fleeting, so don't be burdened by shadows. Find joy in simple pleasures, embrace the fleeting beauty of the world, and celebrate the very impermanence of existence. Don't be a harp strumming the same old tune of obedience. Use your wit to find the flaws in rigid systems, challenge authority that oversteps its bounds, and inspire a new symphony of justice. Your actions should be as swift and silent as a moonlit breeze. Leave your victims bewildered, a touch of frustration lingering like a half-remembered melody. Laughter, not harm, should be your mark. Embrace adventure, a daring walk along the edge of the unknown. Take risks, for they are the bridges to new experiences, and find humor in the unexpected twists of fate. When faced with cruelty, meet it not with a raised fist, but with a playful jibe. Let your mockery be a melody that exposes the foolishness of your enemies.
