When the world was young and the Deities were still in the process of Shaping it, the Elves stepped out from the blossoms the Goddess Ethyllwn had been growing for millennia. So began the First Age.
Ethylwnn is the An Náduri goddess of elves and the patron deity of the Ti Saethyl group. She is also worshipped as part of the pantheon of Tumeland paganism.
An Náduri Legend[]
Few deities refuse to take a more tangible form and none were created of Primordial material which were not the doing of the Elder Gods or other Deities aside from Ethyllwn, Goddess of the Elves. She grew fond of Dernyos' creations and watched as they formed, but soon came to believe their world to be incomplete somehow. After a time, it dawned on her that there were supposed to be other life though she could not say what nor could she figure how she knew.
Many years passed as Ethyllwn pondered how and what other life to make before she gave up in frustrated and began to mold the last of the Primordial material left in the core into the Great Tree. From the Great Tree in the universe's core came the seeds for all other plants of the universe, adorning everything with their life-giving beauty. Soon, creatures came to rely on plants as much as plants came to rely on creatures. Seeing the work the Cervidh carried out to protect all creatures, Ethyllwn set to work creating a seed which would grow to bear caretakers for all plants. This task took all her attention for countless years, but finally she planted the first of the seeds from which the Elves would eventually be born. The First Age began when the first Elves finally stepped from the blossoms of the Vines Ethyllwn had planted.
