Tunare

History

The Mother of All can also be described as the goddess of life and nature. She was among the first gods to come to Norrath following Veeshan claiming the planet. During the Age of Scale, Tunare, along with Brell Serilis and Prexus, agreed to a pact in which they would plant the seeds of life in the promising world in order to balance out Veeshan's power. Tunare claimed the land of Norrath while Brell and Prexus claimed the caverns and oceans respectively. She first created the Elves, creatures of grace and beauty. The Mother of All is also credited with the creation of many other animals, plants, and mystical creatures including faeries, sprites, treants, and unicorns. The Elves though are her greatest creation, for they have contributed much to the world with their advancements and studies in the arcane arts.

During the Age of Blood, the Elves were forced to flee their homes on the continent named after Tunare due to the actions of Solusek Ro. Ro inexplicably raised what are known today as the Serpent's Spine mountains, which cut off the rains that came from the plains of Karana to the west. The years of drought turned the Eldarr Forest into the Desert of Ro. The Elves sailed the Ocean of Tears to Faydwer, the land of Dwarves and Gnomes. Within the Greater Faydark, they established two cities. Kelethin, a wonderous treetop city of platforms and elegant bridges; and Felwithe, a magnificent castle of the most beautiful marble. A church devoted to Tunare was erected in Felwithe, which stood throughout the Age of Turmoil.

Followers

Tunare's followers believe, despite what any one else thinks, that Tunare is the mother of all living things. They understand that not everyone accepts this ideology, but is their goal to protect and preserve the living, breathing world they inhabit. Many druids, rangers, and most Elves in general follow the ways of Tunare.

Appearance

In most lore, Tunare is depicted as a tall Elven woman of unmatched beauty. She often wears a flowing green dress lined with gold. Her blonde hair, which nearly touches the ground, is crowned with vines and leaves. During the Age of Turmoil, she manifested herself in much the same manner for those who witnessed her beauty in her own home, the Plane of Growth.

Among the Pantheon

Tunare is obviously a goddess on the side of light and good. Because of this, she is constant target of those among the pantheon who favor darkness including Innoruuk and Bertoxxulous. Innoruuk's jealousy led him to kidnap the first royal family of the Koada'Dal, and, after centuries of torture, he had created his own twisted race, the Teir'Dal. Her allies include Karana, Erollisi Marr, and Rodcet Nife. During the Age of Turmoil, she also had an alliance with Druzzil Ro, which opened a portal through time for adventurers to learn the secrets of Takish-Hiz. She is one of several gods to have returned to Norrath during the Age of Destiny.
