Changes: Codex entry: The Rebel God

Revision as of 03:05, 5 December 2014

Codex text

The Dalish use "harellan" to mean "traitor to one's kin," bu the word does not appear in any elven text before the Towers Age. The ancient root-word is related to "harillen," or opposition, and "hellathen," or noble struggle. The Dalish call Fen'Harel a god of deception, but I posit a far more accurate translation would be "god of rebellion."

What he rebelled against is a story lost to time. In Dalish legends, Fen'Harel seals away the other deities out of love of trickery. If we understood more ancient elven, we might find earlier versions of the Dread Wolf's story give him a more nuanced motivation beyond spite.

—From A Treaty on the Pagan and Heretical Customs of the Elven, by Senallen Tavernier of the University of Orlais, commissioned by Empress Celene.

 The [[Dalish]] use "''harellan''" to mean "traitor to one's kin," bu the word does not appear in any [[elf|elven]] text before the [[Towers Age]]. The ancient root-word is related to "''harillen''," or opposition, and "''hellathen''," or noble struggle. The Dalish call [[Fen'Harel]] a god of deception, but I posit a far more accurate translation would be "god of rebellion."
