Elsinevīr

Finley Vorden

Elsinevīr represents perhaps the most secretive figure in Sylvan spirituality: a moon goddess whose worship predates even the ancient alliances between Sylvans and Ārbyrans. Unlike the performative reverence shown to mainstream gods, devotion to Elsinevīr is a quiet, personal affair.

Her rare temples are found only in remote woodland clearings, identifiable by perfectly circular pools designed to reflect the moon. No permanent structures surround these pools, instead, living trees are coaxed through centuries to form natural domes that frame the night sky.

Their prayers typically focus on guidance through darkness, protection during vulnerable periods, and wisdom to distinguish truth from illusion.

Devotees of Elsinevīr should:

• Perform rituals only under moonlight
• Never reveal the location of sacred pools to outsiders
