Corellon Larethian (kor-el-un la-RETH-ee-an)
Corellon, or more fully Corellon Larethian, whose titles included Creator of the Elves and the Protector, was the patron God of all Elves. He was the creator and preserver of the Tel'Quessir, governing those things held in the highest esteem among Elves, such as magic, music, arts, crafts, poetry, and warfare. Corellon lived in the realm of Arvandor. He approved of those who killed Orcs and followers of Lolth, blessed those who aided others, and became angered at those who defiled the dead, or fled from their foes.
As the personification of all things Elven, Corellon was at once a warrior and a poet, a mage and a bard, and a male and a female. However, in his love of Araushnee, he settled into the aspect of a male Gold Elf warrior, a counterpart to her female Dark Elf artist. While he retained the capacity to assume female or male form, he conventionally appeared as an androgynous male Elf possessed of lithe build and preternatural beauty. His avatars stood 7ft tall and displayed exceptional speed, reflexes, and grace, as well as a strength obvious to all. He always appeared wearing a sky-blue cloak, a large amulet displaying a crescent moon within a circle, and a pair of dazzling gauntlets.
While Corellon shared the Elven trait of pride that could border arrogance, this never got the better of him. He was a God with an endless willingness to learn from others and acted on it, even including mortals in his sources of discovering new information, methods, and philosophies. Corellon was a master swordsman and a powerful mage. He expertly wielded his longsword and longbow and could cast spells from all spheres and schools. He could cast any ritual of Elven high magic like casting a normal spell and could summon one to four powerful Air Elementals once every 10 minutes who then served him as long as he needed them.
Corellon was immune to everything that inhibited his ability to move, caused wounds, or tampered with his mind, as well as to all illusion spells. It was impossible to hurt him with a weapon with an enchantment of less than +3. Corellon originally came from the plane of Ysgard; Heroic Domains of Ysgard. At some point, he decided to conquer part of Arborea by driving out the resident Giants and thus Arvandor was founded. The surviving Giants went to the land, the Elves abandoned their emigration to Arvandor and founded Jotunheim on Ysgard, the first layer of Ysgard.
Corellon once had many forms for every Elven aspect, but he settled into that of a male Gold Elf warrior when he made Araushnee his bride. This was to create a duality with her: male and female, warrior and artist, day and night. He also gave dominion over the Dark Elves to his wife. They had twin children, the elder called Vhaeraun, the younger called Eilistraee, who was was the favored one.
