Dirthamen

Dirthamen is the elven god of secrets and knowledge.
== Dalish legends ==
In Dalish stories Dirthamen and his twin brother Falon'Din are the eldest children of Elgar'nan and Mythal. Dirthamen gave to elves the gift of knowledge and taught them loyalty and faith in family.
Legends tell that the twins were inseparable spirits from birth to adulthood. They were parted when Falon'Din ventured beyond the Veil, to a place where his brother could not easily follow. Dirthamen wandered the grey paths of the Fade until he found and outmastered two ravens, Fear and Deceit. The ravens took him to Falon'Din, and the twins swore to never be parted again.Dragon Age (tabletop RPG), Player's Guide, set 2, p. 23Codex entry: Dirthamen: Keeper of Secrets Together they accompanied the elders who would enter uthenera and walk the shifting paths in search for the secrets of dreams. Dirthamen provided such elves with counsel.Codex entry: Falon'Din: Friend of the Dead, the Guide
In one tale Dirthamen gave each creature a secret, but only the bears kept it and therefore were honored by him.Codex entry: Bear
Elves also tell that in the days before Arlathan there was a city in the mountains. It was beloved by Dirthamen, who shared his wisdom with its people. When a high dragon attacked the city, Dirthamen created the first varterral from the fallen trees of the forest to serve as its eternal guardian.Codex entry: Varterral
The Dalish believe that Dirthamen was banished along with the other gods, and his city crumbled to dust. They bury their dead with a cedar branch to scatter his ravens who are now without a master.
