Falon'Din

Falon'Din is the elven god of death and fortune who guides the dead to the Beyond.
== Dalish legends ==
In Dalish stories Falon'Din and his twin brother Dirthamen are the eldest children of Elgar'nan and Mythal. Falon'Din had no fear of the night and would walk where the People could not live."The Guide of Falon'din" landmark in Crestwood
Legends tell that the twins were inseparable spirits from birth to adulthood. They were split from each other when the kindly Falon'Din took pity on a dying deer and carried her to rest beyond the Veil, to a place where Dirthamen could not easily follow. The deer's spirit was released from her weakened body and she once again became light on her feet. Seeing this, Falon'Din vowed that he would remain to guide all the dead to their place Beyond. Falon'Din's lost brother eventually caught up with him, and the twins swore to never be parted again.Codex entry: Dirthamen: Keeper of SecretsDragon Age (tabletop RPG), Player's Guide, set 2, p. 23
Since then Falon'Din accompanied by his brother guided elders on journeys of enlightenment while in uthenera. When elves became mortal, he started to carry them beyond the Veil in death instead.Codex entry: Falon'Din: Friend of the Dead, the Guide Finally Falon'Din was banished along with the other gods, and the Dalish now bury their dead with an oaken staff to keep them from faltering along the paths without a guide. They invoke Falon'Din on their deathbed or before quests from which they expect no return, and sometimes refer to him as the Merciful One.According to Morrigan in the Temple of Mythal
