Gods of the Ash Elves

More than any other elven gods, the gods of the Kindled, who guided them as they made a new life in the Underhollows, are beings of contradictions and contrasts. They usually represent more abstract concepts than those of other races, but still provide concrete strength to the guardians at the gate.

• Flame-in-Shadow (Cind'i Rohm) is the Breath-Giver of the Kindled. E is the light and the darkness; the flame and the shadow; heartbreaker and heart's healer. Flame-in-Shadow is the god of illusion and truth, passion and caution.
• Taker-in-Darkness (Roth'i Tena) is the god of death, fate and chance; of the certain and the uncertain. E is called the last secret, the unbeatable foe and the truest friend.
• Strength-in-Righteousness (Vig'i Sua) is the god of conviction and loss, protection and defiance. While E is the war and warrior god of the Kindled, E gives more resilience than potence.
• Weaver-of-Whispers (Alom'an Susoor) is the god of magic and hidden things, knowledge and ignorance. E is called the revealer of lore and keeper of secrets; the student and the teacher.
• Echoes-in-the-Tunnel (Rev'i-sa Buron) is the god of perception and questing, the seen and the unseen. E is called the seeker and is that which is sought.
• Song-of-Steel (Shan'a Fira) is the god of artifice and art, of form and function, and of creation and destruction. E is called the maker and the breaker.

While most of the kindled clans in the Underhollows are devoted to the defence of Aiaos, there are those who have been subborned by the forces of The Abyss, most commonly the subtle machinations of Lilloth, the Queen of Spiders, in whose name they battle the devils of the Fathomless Vertex to control the main passage between the material world and The Abyss.
