Ilrania the First

In the First Age, according to the Elves, there was a Lesser Demigod who often played with the Elves. She seemed to have no malice or snobish ways as was the manner of her status. The Elves at first were suspicious as was their lot for they had been warned by the Mother of these powers and their arrogance. Yet, this one being won their confidence and admiration.
She had a love, not of a parent for a child, but of an equal and partner. The Lesser Demi-god, who took the name Ilrania, sang long and deep about her Elves and how she wish she too could be of them and not bound to the divine paths of power. This the Mother heard and sent to her a vision of a great pale tree on a simple forest field, and Ilrania knew her fate. There she would go, and give herself up, and she would become an Elf, her soul of divinity separated out forever, but for this she would achieve her transformation. The Elves upon hearing the sacrifice held a council and declared that the nobility of the act was beyond any that they had ever heard of, and pronounced her Empress Ilrania: First Empress of the Elves.
Many an Elf wandered in search of the quest for Illania's Soul, but none ever returned with other than a lapse of memory and a loss of time. Finally, at the end of the First Age, with the times of chaos blistering before them, two strangers came forward, where once there had only been Elves and Druids, and said "Seek no more that which can not be sought, but let it find you when the finding time finds itself and the rainbows last for a month and a day."
