Elwynn (Goddess)

Elwynn is a Goddess who originally hails from the Treesian pantheon. The Goddess Elwynn is the Matron of the Elwynnese Union.

Name

She is also referred to as the White Orchid Goddess or the White Orchid Lady.

Character

The Goddess Elwynn is the Goddess of Good. She is a being of selfless motivation and kindheartedness, and from the very moment of Her creation the Lady Elwynn embodied, everything which is right and just, good and fair.

Appearance

The Lady Divine Elwynn is sometimes portrayed as tall and slim with snow-white hair and skin. The Lady Elwynn used is almost always depicted completely clad in white garments which emulate the form of a white orchid.

Symbols

The White Orchid is the most important symbol of the Goddess Elwynn. The sacred volcano called Mount Yaanek and the holy river which bears Her name are also associated with the Lady Elwynn.

Dwellings

The Goddess Elwynn usually dwells in one of the following places: Mount Yaanek, Mount Yaanek Temple and Palace in the Kingly City of Eliria.

Eschatological significance

In most Treesianoid and Elwynnese religions Elwynn is believed to be the twin sister of Lest who is generally considered to be the antithesis of the virtues that she represents. Furthermore, the certain extreme religious groups believe that Lest will eventually hunt down his sister and have carnal knowledge of her; an event which will have the slightly unfortunate consequence of triggering an apocalypse akin to the one that destroyed Treesia itself. A cheery prospect that sits high on the watch-list for the Rrakanychan Watch.

Daemonic worship of Elwynn

Worship of the Lady Divine Elwynn by the Froyalanish Vanafolk commenced in the Ducal Reign of Duke Harald of Froyalan (1533-1542). Elwynn as a Vanic deity is no longer recognised in the Elwynnese Union.
