Angharradh
Angharradh (pronounced: /ˈɑːngɑːrrɑːθ/ AN-gar-rath), who was sometimes considered the personification of three separate elven goddesses, Aerdrie Faenya, Hanali Celanil, and Sehanine Moonbow, was the chief goddess of the Seldarine. As such, her nature reflected traits of each of these deities.
Description
Angharradh appeared as a female elf of otherworldly beauty and grace who shined with gems the color of starlight. She was gloriously gowned, but in war times donned a gleaming silver suit of elven plate mail.
Personality
Due to the nature of her creation, Angharradh exhibited a fierce protectiveness and strong resolve.
Relationships
As the consort of Corellon, Angharradh had a strong, maternal interest in Eilistraee and Mielikki.
Angharradh was second only to Corellon among the Seldarine and she often worked closely with the other elven deities. Deities outside of the elven pantheon whom Angharradh called her allies were Berronar Truesilver, Chauntea, Cyrrollalee, Eilistraee, Lurue, Mielikki, Milil, Mystra, Selûne, Sharindlar, Sheela Peryroyl, Silvanus, Sune and Yondalla. Her foes included the traditional opponents of the Seldarine, such as the drow pantheon (with the exception of Eilistraee), the Deities of Fury and the goblinoid deities.
Worshipers
The church of Angharradh was essentially the unified face of the three separate, but closely allied, churches of Aerdrie, Hanali and Sehanine. Most clerics of Angharradh were affiliated with at least one aspect of the Three, being considered wise women and sages, often being consulted when important issues arose. Clerics and druids of Angharradh prayed for their spells at a time of their choosing, but it must be the time when they pray to one of the three goddesses. The clergy celebrated the holy days and important ceremonies of one of the Three, depending upon which aspect they venerated.
Unlike other elves, who typically thought of Angharradh as little more than the god Corellon's consort, moon elves saw Angharradh as the Protector's equal.
