Mythal

Mythal, the Protector, The All-Mother.

---

The Dalish believe that Mythal was born of the sea.They tell that when Elgar'nan threw the sun out of the sky in vengeance for burning the earth to ashes, Mythal calmed him and helped him see how his anger had betrayed him. Elgar'nan was convinced to free the sun. On the first night after the sun was released Mythal created the moon, from the glowing earth round its bed, to be placed in the sky as a pale reflection of the sun's true glory

In most stories, Mythal rights wrongs while exercising motherly kindness. Other paint her as dark, vengeful. Yet all accounts end the same: Mythal was exiled to the Beyond with other gods. The Dalish invoke Mythal's name when they require protection.
Mythal was one of the Evanuris, mortal mages who enslaved their kin and branded them with their vallaslin. Unlike the other pretender gods, she was a voice of reason and genuinely cared for her people.

Mythal was truly the Mother, protective and fierce.
The ancient priests who toiled in Mythal's favor passed their knowledge on through the Well of Sorrows. Their collective will would put anyone who drank from it under a compulsion and bind them forever to Mythal's service.

Elves petitioned Mythal on matters of justice and it is said that those who came to her with clear minds and open hearts were granted judgment and protection; Mythal harried their enemies until the end of their days. While those who tried to manipulate her wrath against those they envied or were being petty over imagined slights were swiftly struck down.

Thus Mythal did not show favor to the sinner who dared to fly in the shape of the divine. She let Elgar'nan judge him.
