Corellon Larethian

Creator of the Elves, the Protector, First of the Seldarine, Protector and Preserver of Life, Ruler of All Elves

Corellon teaches that jealousy is a blight upon the world, and it is the elves' duty to protect against those who would destroy what they cannot create. The elves are the sculptors and wardens of mystic powers beyond understanding, and the First of the Seldarine entrusts them to carry out their duties with the utmost respect and reverence.   Larethianite priests are often recognized by their circlets, and silk robes in the brightest shades of blue. Among the Larethi clergy is an order known as the Fellowship of the Forgotten Flower. Though honored as elites, they are a loosely organized group of elven knights who dedicate themselves to the recovery of lost elven artifacts.   Temples to Corellon exist in most elven settlements, though they tend to be informal and understated, blending naturally with the landscape. However, the primary center of worship is Corellon’s Grove, deep in the heart of the great forest on the island retreat of Evermeet. The trees surrounding Corellon’s Grove create a barrier bound with enchantments that allow passage to only the faithful. Within the grove, the barriers between Faerûn and the Feywild are thin, allowing the primal fey nature to hold sway through the wild gardens, fountains, and pools.   Lateu’quor, the Forest Communion of the Crescent Moon, is held each month during the first quarter waxing. Devotees offer up prayers through music, song, and dance in secluded, but open, moonlit glades. Offerings are made to Corellon Larethian, though there is little uniformity in them, beyond simply being "beautiful" things. Shieldmeets are also celebrated once every four years, in an event the elves call Cinnaelos’Cor, meaning "The Day of Corellon’s Peace". These Shieldmeets are important markers of eras in the elven calendar and are also frequently celebrated with archery contests.
