Elves Species in Ayn (Working Title) In game mechanics Elves will follow standard Pathfinder rules as detailed in this link. One of the original two guardians of the planet, Elves are the oldest race of humanoids, tied only with the Orcs. They were designed, initially, to tend to the fauna and flora of the land, and thusly hold a deep connection with nature with many often reverent. However, not all are woodland dwelling creatures, with many capable of integrating almost seamlessly into civil society, and some outliers even pursuing potentially damaging, to the environment, careers such as wood harvesting or machine crafting.
It may have something to do with their ability to empathize with not simply beasts of the land, but other humanoids. Another trait to their favor is their world renown beauty. Their most recognizable, physical feature is of course their elongated ears, which can grow to varying lengths and points.

Oberon. King of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature Oberon (/ˈoʊbərɒn/) is a king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature. He is best known as a character in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which he is Consort to Titania, Queen of the Fairies.[1] Merovingian legend[edit] French heroic song[edit] The name Oberon is first attested to in the early 13th century chanson de geste entitled Les Prouesses et faitz du noble Huon de Bordeaux, wherein it refers to an elven man of the forest encountered by the eponymous hero. This elf is dwarfish in height, though very handsome.
The real Seguin was Count of Bordeaux under Louis the Pious in 839, and died fighting against the Normans in 845. A manuscript of the romance in the city of Turin contains a prologue to the story of Huon de Bordeaux in the shape of a separate romance of Auberon and four sequels, and there are later French versions, as well.

Various symbols with three-fold rotational symmetry Neolithic triple spiral symbol In the Hellenistic period, the symbol becomes associated with the island of Sicily, appearing on coins minted under Dionysius I of Syracuse beginning in c. 382 BCE.[1] It later appears in heraldry, and, other than in the flag of Sicily, came to be used in the flag of the Isle of Man (known as ny tree cassyn "the three legs").[2] Use in European antiquity[edit] Neolithic to Bronze Age[edit] The triple spiral symbol, or three spiral volute, appears in many early cultures, the first in Malta (4400–3600 BCE) and in the astronomical calendar at the famous megalithic tomb of Newgrange in Ireland built around 3200 BCE,[10] as well as on Mycenaean vessels.
Classical Antiquity[edit] Silver Drachma from Sicily, minted during the reign of Agathocles (361–289 BCE), Greektyrant of Syracuse (317–289 BCE) and king of Sicily (304–289 BCE). The triskeles was adopted as emblem by the rulers of Syracuse. Medieval use[edit] Huldufólk. Elves in Icelandic and Faroese folklore Huldufólk[a] or hidden people are elves in Icelandic and Faroese folklore.[1][2] They are supernatural beings that live in nature. They look and behave similarly to humans, but live in a parallel world.[3] They can make themselves visible at will.[4] Konrad von Maurer cites a 19th-century Icelandic source claiming that the only visible difference between normal people and outwardly human-appearing huldufólk is, the latter have a convex rather than concave philtrum below their noses.[2] In Faroese folk tales,[5] hidden people are said to be "large in build, their clothes are all grey, and their hair black.
Their dwellings are in mounds, and they are also called Elves. There is, however, some evidence that the two terms have come to be taken as referring to two distinct sets of supernatural beings in contemporary Iceland. Origins[edit] The Christianization of Iceland in the 11th century brought with it new religious concepts.
Holidays[edit] Notes[edit] Codex Regius. Codex Regius and Flateyjarbók (open) Codex Regius (Latin: Cōdex Rēgius, "Royal Book" or "King's Book"[1]; Icelandic: Konungsbók[1]) or GKS 2365 4º is an Icelandic codex in which many Old Norse poems are preserved. Thought to have been written during the 1270s, it is made up of 45 vellum leaves. The work originally contained a further eight leaves, which are now missing. It is the sole source for most of the poems it contains. In scholarly texts, this manuscript is commonly abbreviated as [R] for Codex Regius, or as [K] for Konungsbók.
The codex was discovered in 1643, when it came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then Bishop of Skálholt, who in 1662 sent it as a gift to King Frederick III of Denmark; hence the name. One of the principal manuscripts of Snorri's Edda (GKS 2367 4to) is also named Codex Regius. Contents[edit] In popular culture[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Codex regius. What’s the Difference Between Elves and Pagans? Do the Silver Elves Follow an Elven Faith? | The Silver Elves Blog. “We elves get along quite well with Pagans for the most part….But these elves are not inclined to worship any gods and while religion is a personal choice of every elf, we expect that most elves, while having a fondness for this or that god or goddess, don’t tend to involve thems’elves in worship….”
Some dictionaries will tell you that pagans are simply hedonistic folks. Others may tell you that pagan is a term for anyone who doesn’t follow one of the main religions, while will describe paganism as polytheism. And this is the reality really that pagans merely follow a multiplicity of gods or goddess or in choosing a particular one to relate to acknowledge that there are others that one can worship as well. Although, our ancestors while being tolerant of other gods on their own pantheon were not always so open minded about those of other pantheons. And these elves have found that many of the pagans we’ve encountered are quite a bit on the hedonistic side of things. Save Like this: Runecasting - Magic Forums. I decided to do write because of a simple matter: I felt drawn to work more closely with the runes - beyond matters of such practices of various Galdr.
I have done various implements of runes for various reasons, but I felt a tug at my heartstrings telling me, "Hey, start runecasting! " Contrary to my normal inclinations, I obeyed. Well, let me say this: this is not the first time I have felt this pull to runic divination. I've felt it several times and passed it off. But this time I listened. My description of the art of rune casting (yes, I do see it as an art in its own rights) may not be perfect, but it's how I know it in explanation. I'd like to take a moment to differentiate, as well as state similarities with, Tarot and Runecasting. I like to think that runecasting does conjointly work with Wyrd.
Runecasting is going to implement the three Aetts - also called Airts. Well, on to practicals. Now the casting of the runes is what gets a bit complex. I'll explain the layout first. Runecasting - Runic Divination. "Divination - regardless of the tools - works because in the system one is using the individual card/hexagram/rune etc. represent the whole in some unified way. At the moment of 'random' mixing, because of intent, the cards order themselves to mirror the reality of the querier. " Sig Lonegren (Sig@geomancy.org), author of The Pendulum Kit and books on dowsing, labyrinths, and sacred geometry.
Visit his site at Runic divination, "runecasting", is not "fortune telling". Runecraft operates on an ancient form of psychology. When one does a runic reading, one usually addresses a particular issue, and examines the past, the present and the "future", or rather "what will be if one follows the path one appears to be on". A runecaster does not see the future. Not exactly occult, is it? Dowsing, or "divination" by bent stick or pendulum is similar. Find a suitable place to do the reading. Carefully form a question in your mind. Here is one way I do a rune casting. Runecasting magic. Runic Philosophy and Magic. This page is the third part of a five-part article on the runes. The other four parts are: Part I: IntroductionPart II: The Origins of the RunesPart IV: The Meanings of the RunesPart V: The 10 Best Books on the Runes In the pre-Christian Germanic worldview, the spoken word possesses frightfully strong creative powers.
As Scandinavian scholar Catharina Raudvere notes, “The pronouncement of words was recognized to have a tremendous influence over the concerns of life. Each of the runes represents a phoneme – the smallest unit of sound in a language, such as “t,” “s,” “r,” etc. – and as such is a transposition of a phoneme into a visual form. The phonosemantic view of language is in agreement with the traditional northern European view, where “words create reality, not the other way around.” With the runes, the phonosemantic perspective takes on an additional layer of significance. Thus, the runes were not only a means of fostering communication between two or more humans. References: Runes magic transytation circle. Runes magic transytation circle. Runes magic. Runes magic.

Attestations[edit] Prose Edda[edit] As described by Anders Andren, the Prose Edda is a "systematic survey of old Norse mythology in a handbook for skalds.[5] Originally called simply Edda, this work consisted of two manuscripts containing skaldic poetry that describe Norse mythology, religion, and Scandinavian history. In her article Edda, Kimberly Lin further explains that the Prose Edda, “has been most highly prized for the songs and poems that record an incredible array of mythology, heroes, and battles.[6] In the Prose Edda, the Dökkálfar and the Ljósálfar are attested in chapter 17 of the book Gylfaginning. In the chapter, Gangleri (the king Gylfi in disguise) asks the enthroned figure of High what other "chief centres" there are in the heavens outside of the spring Urðarbrunnr.
Gangleri responds that there are many fine places in heaven, including a place called Álfheimr (Old Norse 'Elf Home' or 'Elf World').

Álfheimr | Alfheim (Old Norse: Álfheimr, 'elf home') is one. Music | Álfheimr. Gylfi. In Norse mythology, Gylfi, Gylfe, Gylvi, or Gylve was the earliest recorded king in Scandinavia. He often uses the name Gangleri when appearing in disguise. The traditions on Gylfi deal with how he was tricked by the gods and his relations with the goddess Gefjon. The creation of Zealand[edit] Meeting the Æsir[edit] Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda and the Ynglinga saga tell how the supposedly historic (Non-deified version of Odin) Odin and his people the Æsir and Vanir, who later became the Swedes, obtained new land where they built the settlement of Old Sigtuna.
In Snorri's account Gylfi is supposedly deluded by the Æsir into accepting their religion; hence the name "Gylfaginning:" Most often interpreted as the deluding of Gylfi, although 'ginning' is regarded the same as what we reckognise in 'beginning', thus "the origin of Gylfi" is also possible. Other appearances[edit] Notes[edit] The Preservation of Icelandic Heritage in the Poetic Edda. Elven characteristics. Last Elf by Piotr Wysocki "The Elves have their own labours and their own sorrows, and they are little concerned with the ways of hobbits, or of any other creatures upon earth. " ― Gildor Inglorion[1] The Elves were the fairest creatures in Arda, a far more beautiful race than Men, and generally tall (about six feet). [source?] Among them, those who had gone to Valinor were the fairest and had the greatest skill of body. Elves had keener senses, sight and hearing than Men, were slender, graceful yet strong, but were resistant to extremes of nature, illness and disease.
Practical considerations, including a number of occasions where Men were mistaken for Elves (most notably Túrin Turambar), suggest that the points of difference between Elves and Men must have been subtle.
