Their hatred bound them together, and together they crept into Arvandor. But how so? No one can enter Arvandor who is not permitted by the Seldarine. There are many stories and many contradictions, but one thing can be agreed upon.
The enemies of the Seldarine attacked Arvandor in with great cunning and force. Among the defenders were the son and daughter of Corellon. Though the battle was terrible, victory seemed certain for the Seldarine.Ĭorellon's daughter was a great huntress, a wild girl who ran the forests as quickly as a gazelle, and as nimble as a squirrel. With her she carried a bow, which she had made herself, and it was said that she could split the feather of an eagle from a thousand paces and without harming the eagle.Īnd so when during the battle her arrow pierced the chest of Corellon and he fell, there was little doubt in the minds of the Seldarine, that his daughter had betrayed them. It is said that the Goddess of the Winds said this, and declared Elistraee a traitor. The battle changed for the worse until Corellon's mate, the goddess Aurashnee rose and drove back the forces of Malar with great force. Then she rushed to the side of her dying husband. She cried in anguish, and screamed at her daughter. The others of the Seldarine were so angry, and Aurashnee demanded they punish Elistraee, and kill her because she had killed Corellon.Īs she wept over her husband, Aurashnee tried to give him a healing draught. But just as the sun began to set over Arvandor, so rose the moon, and with it the goddess who had been missing throughout the battle. Sehanine appeared among the Seldarine, and knocked the healing draught away from Corellon's lips. Enraged, Aurashnee cried "Traitor!"īut Sehanine said the traitor was not her but the son of Corellon, the young lord Vhaeraun whom Aurashnee had said should lead them, if Corellon were not to survive. Sehanine said that the healing draught was truly poison. Aurashnee said that Sehanine was jealous of her, that Sehanine had wanted Corellon for herself, and when she would not have him, she planned to have him killed. Why else was she not there at the battle to defend Arvandor? She must have been the one who let in the forces of Malar and his Hunt.
