The Archeart

Guardian of spring, beauty, and the arts, the Arch Heart is the patron of arcane magic, elves, and the fey. The Founding inspired them to wander the twisted lands, seeding them with the first arcane magics and raising the most ancient of forests. It was by the Arch Heart’s hand that the first elves wandered from the Fey Realm, and for this reason, they are considered the Parent of all elves. Those who seek art in all of their work, whether magic or mundane, often worship at the altar of the Arch Heart. They loathe Lolth, the Spider Queen and her priestesses for leading the drow astray.

Commandments of the Arch Heart

• Create, inspire, and find beauty in all that you do.
• Follow the echoes of lost magic, forgotten sites, and ancient art, for within these lie the Arch Heart’s first works.
• Combat the followers of the Spider Queen wherever they may be.

Holidays

Holy Day. The Arch Heart’s holy day is called Elvendawn, or Midsummer. It’s celebrated on the twentieth day of the sixth month, and commemorates the elves’ first emergence from the Fey Realm.
