Elyon - The Silent Flame

Mother of Stillness • God of Healing • Discipline • Simplicity

Who is Elyon

Elyon is the quietest of the gods—not out of weakness, but discipline. Where others roar or mourn, she whispers. She is the Still Flame: the light that soothes, the breath between violence, the hand that heals after the blow is struck.

> Her power is restraint. In that silence, she burns brighter than any war cry.

Some say she was once a war goddess who set her weapons aside; others claim she is what remains when all else falls quiet.
