Lyndranel (LIN DRA NELL)
Mother Moon, the Night Walker, the Dark Goddess
The gray-skinned, fair-haired night goddess of the Moon Elves is said to be the mother of the elven race. Lyndranel is direct rival of her brother, the god, Calowean, and most of the tales of them center around which deity is able to gain advantage over the other. The exact nature of the goddess is difficult to pin down as she is at time portrayed as cold and harsh and at times serene and caring. She is closely associated with the minor gods Ciuna and Akion who manage a keep the peace between the gods of the Sun and the Moon. Lyndranel is said to reside in a massive palace of black crystal on the dark moon Kythir where she watches and sees all things that mortals attempt to hide under the cover of night.
After -1260 DR, worship of Lyndranel was outlawed within the Himsean Republic and her followers exiled to settle the The Yvalian Empire.
