Corellon Loth Character in Toriel | World Anvil

Corellon Loth

God of journey and travel, God of the elves

Corellon, or more fully Corellon Larethian, whose titles included The Fey walker, and the traveler is said to be the first elves that stepped into the material planes. As a creature from the feywild, Corellon is chaotic, joyful and curious, and when he came onto the Toriel, he could admire the beauty of this world, untouched and filled with wonder.  

Characteristics

Mental traits

While Corellon shared the elven trait of pride that could border arrogance, this never got the better of him. He was a god with an endless willingness to learn from others and acted on it, even including mortals in his sources of discovering new information, methods, and philosophies.  

Abilities

Corellon was a master swordsman and a powerful mage. He expertly wielded his longsword and longbow and could cast spells from all spheres and schools. He could cast any ritual of elven high magic.   Corellon was immune to everything that inhibited his ability to move, caused wounds, or tampered with his mind, as well as to all illusion spells.  

History

Corellon is the first elf that stepped onto the material plane, eager to share the discovery of this new world with his fellow elves, he looked for ways to open and widen the rift between the planes. His power, untamed on this new world, was great, and with time and effort, Corellon understood the intricate work of the weave, and how it was connecting the planes. With the correct redirection, with a big enough perturbation, he knew he could open large portals to other planes, and he started to experiment.  

War of the Ancients

Breaching into various planes, Corellon spent years hoping from planes to planes. But his action were not without consequences, and when he hopped into the abyss, not knowing what it was, he had to fight for his life. Escaping the legion of demons, he ran away, and out of the planes, but it was already too late, and the demon started to rip and tear the breach to the material plane, pouring into Toriel, this marked the beginning of the war of the ancients.   Corellon finally managed to open a portal to the feywild for his kind to get in Toriel, telling them about his mistake. And thus, the first elves became warriors against the legion of demons, fighting alongside the dragons. Corellon, in an attempt to do good, fought all his might into the battle against the demon and perished during the war.   Nozdormu, the dragon god of time, Acknowledged the elves as precious allies and blessed them with incredible longevity. Corellon, for his honesty and for his action, was revered by the elves all hover Toriel.  

Ascencion to godhood

With the prayer in his name echoing all over the world, and a whole race worshipping the one that allowed them to step a foot on those land, Corellon was born anew, as the first elven gods. Graced with this divine power, he made an oath to protect the elves and did everything in his power to provide them with the safety they deserved. Blessing those who killed the threat to his kind, approving of those chasing evil away, and became angered at those who defiled the dead.  

The Orrin Era

During the Orrin era, the elves developed into multiple kingdoms, forming various communities, and calling themselves protectors of their land, Corellon was proud of them. After the Nexus Overflow, and the weave infusing every been on Toriel, the humùan started to grow stronger with this magic, experimenting with mightier spells, and bigger inventions. Corellon, as an explorer who visited the planes of this world, developed a new gift for those he protected, the Elven High magic. As strong as what the human use, the elven high magic requires important rituals, and the communion of the elves to be operated, but can match even the strongest spell in might and range.  

The great Extinction

With this new gift, the elves were able to protect their city, hiding them among the forest. But little did Corellon knew this wouldn't be enough, as the greed of man was unstoppable, they provoked a disaster. Known as the great extinction, human experimentation gone wrong whipped many, if not almost all of the mortals on Toriel. Corellong cursed the human and quickly created a plan for his kind. Opening portal to the feywild all over the world, allowing the elves to retreat. The god then took upon himself to destroy each and every single one of the elven portals to the feywild, leaving only ruins where the elven city once stood.   Then, the war between the giants and dragon struck, Corellon, relieved that he assured the retreat of his people, watched as Toriel was reduced to this terrible state. But, when the war was fizzling out, and the mortal could start to grow again, Corellon was ready, Opening a rift to the west, where the elves came back to the material plane, ready to take back the lands that were once in their possession.  

The Great Reunion

They first reconstructed Megima, and started to spread. But, the human also took that opportunity to expand. The great reunion cost the elves dearly. Their kingdoms were forced into submission, and a great part of their forest was turned to ash. Even though their bows were precise, they were outnumbered and unable to defend themselves on all fronts as war-hungry armies burned their sheltering forests. Corellon cursing, as he grows to hate the human that dares to attack his people. Blessing the rare resistance that refused to be ruled by the humans.   With the conflict now over, Corellon still hold a grudge for the human, but focus on the protection and care of his kind. Corellon is said to often wander incognito on Toriel to observe priests and craftsmen, and is even known to take a direct hand in protecting elven borders. As a general rule, he watch over the elven race as a guardian.
