Mythal

Mythal the Protector, All-Mother, and goddess of love,Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, p. 183 is the patron of motherhood and justice (the flip side of vengeance).Dragon Age: Origins: Prima Official Game Guide#Collector's Edition She leads the pantheon with her male counterpart, Elgar'nan.
== Dalish legends ==
The Dalish believe that Mythal was born of the sea.Codex entry: Mythal: the Great ProtectorDragon Age (tabletop RPG), Player's Guide, set 2, p. 23 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 legends, Mythal and Elgar'nan had at least four children, possibly five: Falon'Din, Dirthamen, Andruil, Sylaise and June. However, June is oftentimes depicted as Sylaise’s husband, thus potentially excluding him from being considered one of the children.
In most stories, Mythal rights wrongs while exercising motherly kindness. Other paint her as dark, vengeful.Codex entry: Mythal: the Great ProtectorMythal's BlessingDragon Age (tabletop RPG), Game Master's Guide, set 1, p. 45 Yet all accounts end the same: Mythal was exiled to the Beyond with other gods.
