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.
