Lelyar

Lelyar (pronounced lehl-yar) is the elvehn god of death. He is the ferryman that takes souls to the shores of Faen.

Description
Lelyar is described as a thin elf with dark ash skin and inky black hair. His eyes are a milky white that make him look blind. He wears dark robes that contrast greatly with his boat, which is carved out of marble found in the celestialrealm.

Personality
A quiet being, Lelyar would rather observe than act. When he does speak his voice is said to be as beautiful as Eirien's.

Relationships
Due to the nature of his role, Lelyar is quite distant from the other gods. They do not bother him, and he does not bother them.

Relationship with Vansidh
It was at the edge of the Feyrealm that Leylar and Vansidh met. Lelyar had been performing his duties when approached the imposing god on his ivory boat. Lelyar said that if Vansidh remained on the boat with him for nine days, he shall join them among the elvehn. For nine days they remained in the waters of the in-between, ever moving and ever taking souls to the shores of Faen. During their time together Lelyar found himself falling in love with the beautiful and kind faerie. On the ninth day, Lelyar confessed that even if Vansidh had not remained on his boat for all nine days, he would have join the elvehn, as their light was the first he had been graced with.

Worshipers
Though not worshiped like his brethren, elves have great respect for Lelyar. Elves place their dead in boats and let them drift down stream or out to sea, for they believe that this will transport the dead onto Lelyar's ivory boat.
