Enur'el

Enur'el is one of the two progenitor gods of the Planes, along with her brother Devryis. Together, they created all of existence. She is considered to be the "mother" of the Quintate, who helped her to craft the Material Plane and Elemental Planes.

## History

### **Creation of Kortera (1R-1)**

Enur'el and Devryis spawned in darkness, creating each other by accident. They looked at the great void called the Devouring Dark, and sought to create a universe to withstand it. First, they created five children, called the Quintate. With Devryis's guidance, Luucaboel and Dolgovath created the Astral Sea. With Enur'el's guidance, Brulggonaz, Altumzah, and Morgull created the Material Plane and Elemental Planes. Brulggonaz created land while Altumzah created sea, and Morgull created the first lifeforms to inhabit the new world. Luucaboel and Dolgovath worked together to create light and darkness, as well as day and night. When they all looked upon their creation, they called their world Kortera.

### **The Veil of Sedition (4R-524)**

The Beasts Beyond assaulted Selmar whenever possible, forever hungering for their Heart Gems. Varen Laelis and Esindil feared for their people, and knew that the Sanj Ahari would eventually be overwhelmed by the ever-multiplying Slaadi. The pair traveled to entreat aid from their mother, Enur'el. The Runemother saw the conflict, and saw the growing rage and power of the Selmari. Enur'el removed one of her eyes, planting it atop an icy tower in Elluria. This came to be known as Elluria's Eye, and for as long as it remained closed Garn would be separated from Selmar, Prakk, and Varellia by a magical barrier known as the Veil of Sedition. This was to protect Selmar from the Beasts Beyond, but also to protect Garn from the country that Selmar was bound to become. Still, Enur'el loved her children in Garn, and so she would open her eye once a year in order to gaze upon them and hear their requests. For one day a year, she would commune with the Runepriest and hear their requests, but this weakened the Veil enough for the Beasts Beyond to break through in search of Heart Gems. The Sanj Ahari would prepare for this day every year, and were always prepared to handle the onslaught of Slaadi that would tear through the Veil.

### **The Devouring Dark (8R-251)**

When the last worshipper of Devryis died, he vanished from the Black Heart of Rezelos, and the Devouring Dark began to spread. Rezelos was corrupted, and Zegavel the Stalwart used this opportunity to murder Dilinar the Dastard and Orvek the Still, becoming a Bearer of Anterrel after the murder of the former. Enur'el watched as the Devouring Dark began to leak from the Astral Gate in Devos, and knew that this would threaten all of the Planes in time. She sent a vision to the Quintate, warning them that this Devouring Dark would consume all of existence one plane at a time if Devryis did not stop it. She told him that if things did not improve that she was considering opening Elluria's Eye for good, in the hopes that the people of Garn could find Devryis and stop the Devouring Dark.

### **Salathiel (8R-297)**

When Enur'el opened her eye and saw Lyra Molis lamenting the loss of Ronald Molis in Timberhold, she gave Lyra an Aasimar daughter named Salathiel. Salathiel would go on to be Runekeeper to the Promisers of the Anterrel Expedition.

### **The Opening (8R-302)**

As the Devouring Dark spread across the Lawless Lands, Enur'el made the painful decision to open Elluria's Eye for good, and the Veil of Sedition vanished. The citizens of Garn called this the Opening, and bore witness to the Lawless Lands for the first time. This also allowed the Devouring Dark to spread into Garn, beginning with the Astrevan Isles, but Enur'el hoped that this would prompt the Garnians to seek its source and find Devryis.

## The Aasimar

Enur'el is the creator of the Aasimar. When Enur'el opens Elluria's Eye once a year, she sometimes takes pity on mothers who are unable to bear children and will grant them a child from her essence. These children, like Theliel and Salathiel, embody angelic qualities and powers thanks to their raw connection to the Runes.
