These five elven gods make up the elven pantheon of deities on Algaress and were present at the world's creation. From the beginning of time in Algaress, there were four elf gods: Kellam, who made the sun elves in his image, and gave them to them his love of magic. Alyndra, who made the moon elves, who she poured her love of freedom and travel. Lyari, she made the dark elves, crafty and deadly tricksters who preferred to sneak and stick the shadows. Raeleth made the wood elves, great warriors like herself, to protect the world from evil. The gods differed in many ways, but they loved and cared for each other and their creations. From the union of this love sprang Thayola, their daughter, who loved all the elves of the world equally.
