Sylaise



Sylaise (SIGH-layse), the Hearthkeeper, is the goddess of all the domestic arts and the sister of Andruil the Huntress. Sylaise gave the elves fire, taught them how to weave rope and thread, and to use herbs and magic for healing purposes. In her youth, Sylaise stayed at the home-tree to sing and create art while Andruil hunted and played. Her path is called the Vir Atish'an. Her name is invoked before a fire is kindled and after it is quenched. Sylaise is seen as a protector of all who dwell close to a hearth, especially children.

According to ancient lore, many willingly offered their service to her, considering Sylaise the mightiest of the elven pantheon. A Shrine of Sylaise can be found in the Exalted Plains.
