Corellon Larethian

Corellon

Corellon, or more fully Corellon Larethian (pronounced: /kɔːrɛlʌn lɑːˈrɛθiɑːn/ kor-el-un la-RETH-ee-an), whose titles included Creator of the Elves and the Protector, is the patron god of all elves. He is the creator and preserver of the elven races, governing those things held in the highest esteem among elves, such as magic, music, arts, crafts, poetry, and warfare. Corellon lives in the realm of Arvandor. He approves of those who kill orcs and followers of Lolth, blesses those who aid others, and becomes angered at those who defile the dead, or flee from their foes.

Tenets of Faith

The elves are sculptors and wardens of magic's endless mysteries. Bring forth the beauty that envelops and lets the spirit gambol unfettered. Seek out new experiences and new ways. Ward against those that would destroy what they cannot create. Commune with the natural and mystical world. Be ever vigilant against the return of the banished darkness and be strong in heart against the corruption of the Spider Queen.

Holidays

Corellon has many holy days, although most are tied to astronomical events and only occur every few years. One monthly ceremony is Lateu'quor, the Forest Communion of the Crescent Moon, which takes place in the first quarter waxing and involves music, song, dance, and offerings of beautiful items.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Corellon created the elven race and is the lord of the non-evil elven deities, which are collectively known as the Seldarine ("fellowship of brothers and sisters of the wood"). The Seldarine respect and honor him, and he has peaceful contact with the leaders of the dwarf, gnome, and halfling deities, as well as Azarian nature deities and good deities from that pantheon. Corellon counts Lolth (once his consort) and Vhaeraun as his enemies, for he had to banish them from the Seldarine when they led an attack against their kin. His other enemies include beings such as Bane, Cyric, Talos, Malar, and the deities of the orcs and goblinoids.
