Elyndra

Elyndra is the goddess of memory, creation, and divine continuity—the quiet architect of all things remembered and made. She tempers Aurenos' arcane will with deep empathy and insight, capturing the stories of every living soul in the moment they are formed. Every memory, true or false, sacred or mundane, finds a place in her cosmic archives. Her presence is one of serenity and solemnity, comforting as silence, awe-inspiring as the first word.

Body Features

Elyndra’s form is both celestial and terrestrial, composed of cool midnight blues and shifting starlight. Her body glows with gentle golden filigree—like written text trailing across her skin in soft waves. Her presence calms storms, slows time, and stills the heart.
