Halen

Summary
Halen (meaning "Healer" in Waldire tongue) is the deity mainly worshipped by Glade Elves though is accepting of all races. Rather than believing in many Gods, the main belief in Haleninity, is to worship the one creator of the universe so that in the after-life you may be with Halen. Haleninity can be traced back to the pre Elven Migrations period as the Elves travelled throughout Rathnir and Eldham left graves, tombs, or sometimes just dropped jewelry and artefacts displaying Halen.

One key aspect to the worship of Haleninity is the appreciation of her creation, most notably in the form of preserving nature.

Haleninity is not exclusive to a certain race, though many races are designed to preserve nature, all can come to worship Halen and appreciate her creation.

Haleninity is the official religion of the town of Aethelweald, and is the only town to do so. However, the Glade Elves have made efforts to try and grow their religion to other parts of Rathnir.

Gerúma
In the beginning, before time could pass, where no matter could dwell, and no space to occupy, Halen created the Heavens and the Earth. The Earth was nothing but a barren rock floating in the void, and Halen said "Let there be light." And breathed light unto Earth and it was good. Halen separated the light from the darkness and she called the darkness "night". Halen shed a joyous tear at her creation, and that tear watered the Earth, Halen called the gathering of the waters "seas". Through that tear Halen said "let there be life, and bring forth the herbs in the ground" and the ground bore seeds and fruit. Then Halen said, "bring forth the creatures of the world according to their kind" and it was so. Then said, "let us make some creatures in our nature", and some of the creatures bore speech, adopted the nature to build, and the will to persevere. "Let these creatures made in my nature hold dominion over the ones not so. Let them graze the cattle and sheep, let them catch the fish in the sea, and pluck the birds out of the sky" and it was so. Finally Halen bore her Kingdom on the Earth and called it "The Everglade", and let the dominion of creatures dwell in her Kingdom.
