Thalis, the Warrior

is one third of the Elven Triad.
Thalis is the deity who taught elves the art of war; for elves, who have centuries to master multiple disciplines, a warrior must be able to understand how his weapon was fashioned -- thus, Thalis is the patron of swordsmen and swordsmiths, akin to an elvish god of crafts and industry as well as warfare. His angels often do not show themselves directly, preferring to guide their chosen mortal champions and sometimes to possess them or their swords. Mortal servants of Thalis see themselves as protectors of elvish society; this role extends to elves who do not know (or in the theology of the Triad, have forgotten) their obligations to the Triad -- those who will not rejoin the fold are killed as traitors.
