In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age, Bioware's acclaimed fantasy series, the elves worship a pantheon of gods known as the Creators (or Evanuris). Their opponents were the Forgotten Ones, a group of beings best described as dꦿemons, but whose identities have been lost to time. The Dalish elves (elvhen who do not live among humans or bow to h🍸uman laws), continue to worship the pantheon of Creators as a way to preserve their culture from total annihilation.
Dalish tell stories about how the Creators came into being and how they helped early elvhen to survive in the world. As with other pantheons,𝔉 many of the gods and goddesses are related by blood or marriage. These are all nine of those tales.
Falon'Din, the Guide, Friend of the Dead
Falon'Din is kind of like the elvhen Hades🐓. He is the god of death and guides the dead into the elvhen afterlife. According to the traditional Dalish stories, Falon'Din was the twin brother of an🔯other God, Dirthamen, and the two of them were the eldest children of Mythal and Elgar'nan.
In the old days, the Dalish say, Falon'Din simply guided elves — all of whom were immortal — on journeys of enlightenme🎉nt. When elves came in contact with humans and subsequently became mortal, he started to lead them into the "Beyond," a place beyo🃏nd the veil, instead.
June, God of the Craft
June is the god over crafts and building. The Dalish say that, long ago, he taught the wandering, lost elvhen people how to create bows, arrows, and knives🐓. Other than this gift, he is an illusive God; not much is known about him.
He is usually connected to the goddess Sylaise by the stories, either as her husband or as the brother to Sylaise and A🦩ndruil. Dalish elves dedicate a🅷ll their crafts to June, in honor of his very first teachings.
Ghilan'nain, Mother of the Halla
There are two explanations for how Gilan'nain became the mother of the halla (the white, deer-like creatures that pull elvhen caravans). The first, in the story traditionally told by ꩵthe Dalish, suggests that Gilan'nain was an elf who was blinded by a hunter. When she prayed to the Gods for help, Andruil answered the call and turned her into the first halla.
The second telling, slightly older and revealed through an inscription in the Temple of Mythal, claims that Gilan'nain herself created the beasts, monsters, and halla of Thedas (a task the Dalish attribut𝓡e to Andruil).
Sylaise, the Hearthkeeper
Sylaise, often considered a parallel to June, is the goddess of domestic crafts and the hear♉th. Her sister is Andruil, goddess of the hunt, though it's debated whether the pair are children of Mythal or born from the earth itself.
The Dalish tell that, while Andruil wandered off to hone her hunting skills, Sylaise stayed with the elvhen to teach them to sing, make art, use herbs for medicine, and weave rope or thread. Sylaise is a protective force among the ꧅pantheon, who is said to keep anyone who is at a hearth safe.
Dirthamen, Keeper of Secrets
Dirthamen, Falon'Din's brother and one of the eldest sons of ༒Mythal and Elgar'nan, is the god of knowledge and secrets. The Dalish tell that, when he gave the elvhen knowledge, he tau🏅ght them loyalty and faith in their family, as a result of his strong bond with his brother.
One Dalish fireside story describes how Dirthamen told every animal a secret. Every single animal (except for the bears) broke their promise and spread their secret. The foxes, for example, gave their seඣcrets to Andruil in exchange for wings. Only the bears kept their secrets, and as a result, are honoured by Dirthamen.
Andruil, Goddess of the Hunt
Andruil, Sylaise's sister, is known as the "great huntress." Sh♌e's especially honored by the Dalish because they consider her to represent their ability to survive on their own, without bowing to human overlords.
They tell of how Andruil created the "Vir Tanadhal" (meaning: the Way of Three Trees). The way of the arrow means to fly strai🃏ght along your path. The way of the bow insists elvhen must bend but never break. Finally, the way of the forest means to be thankful for the gifts you take from the forest, and mindful not to take too much.
Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf
Fen'Harel is one of two elvhen gods that players have met in-game (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:or perhaps even fallen in love with). By traditional Dalish tellings, In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Solas suggests that Fen'Harel was actually considered the god of rebellion (though one must take his word with a grain of sal🔴t, of course).
Regardless, the Dalish view him as a trickster god who created the Veil, subs🗹equently sealing the Evanuris and the Forgotten Ones away behind it.
Elgar'nan, God of Vengence
The Dalish tell that Elgar'nan was born before there were any other gods — 🐎when there was only the sea, th𒅌e land, and the sun. The sun was curious about the land, and when the two touched, Elgarn'nan came into being.
His wif☂e is Mythal, and together, the pair rules over all of Thedas. Stories about Elgar'nan tell of how he doles out vengeance among enemies of the elvhen, and claim that dwarves do not like to see the sky because they are afraid of him.
Mythal, the Great Protector
The Dalish tell that Mythal was born out of the sea. She is their goddess of motherhood and justice (as the opposite of vengeance) and leads the elvhen gods alongside her husband, Elgar'nan. Some stories depict her as a darker force of 💧nature, while others focus on her kind nature.
Dragon Age: Inquisit꧋ion provides a little more of Mythal's story; elves used to come to her, like a judge, to dole out justice on matters between them. She was murdered when Arlathan fell, not banished to the Beyond with the other gods, like the Dalish thought.
