Elondin of Sceaferd

The Deorim Fourteenth, The First Shepherd Elondin

Elondin was an old, elven mage from the village of Scaeferd who brought about a new religion born of the original elven faith. Ancient, historical elven texts tell the tale of how when the elves that had traveled from ancient Elfeim to Arboria they had done so in the hopes that their new home would be safe from daemons, fey and feyblooded creatures as promised by their twelve gods, the Deorum. Upon finding that their new home was equally as corrupted as the lands they had come from the elves had despaired that they had been lied to by their gods. One day the Arborian king's court would be visited by the sage elf Elondin, who had came from the neighboring lands of Sceaferd to inform the kingdom he had been visited by a thirteenth god by the name of Opokus, who would explain the unfortunate turn of events that lead to the misunderstanding of the Deorim.

Thus was the Elondinist faith founded with Elondin seen as the founder of the path of salvation, Messenger of the Mother Goddess and the Fourteenth Deorim. The First Shepherd of elfkind.

Elondin was the first but not the last of his kind. Many elves did join the ranks of the prophets of what would later be known as Sceaferdism

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Only texts exists about Elodin of Sceaferd, but the general consensus is that he was an exceptionally tall, old elf. Despite his old age even when he first appeared before the Arborian people, he was never once mentioned as being unable to walk on his own, although some anecdotes retell Elondin's humor in the form of him mentioning he'd outrun a throng of young elves from the Arborian barracks in their training.

Body Features

Elondin was always pictured as being in a robe.

Facial Features

Elondin is always depected as having long eyebrows, almost as long as his ears. He has a long beard that reaches his waistline. Elondin is always shown smiling, the pale blue irises of his eyes looking unfocused as though he were blind or covered in cataracts. Texts in the Elezenlopaedia and the Mater Biblo mention his kind eyes looking rather worn, though mention of him being blind is never included.
