Årentethine, the Arboreal Guardian

Before the first age and the trifles of mortal men, the world was born in a great fire. The land was bare and only the most primitive of creatures roamed the desolate territories. Born of lightning striking a deep pool of primordial sludge, Årentethine was created of pure energy.

She saw the world in its undeveloped form, and brought forth the Green Age. Creating the Forests of the East through use of Lyranthian Energy she populated the eastern plains with the various flora and fauna that take refuge there to this day.

It is said that after creating the great forests of the east, Årentethine created a mother tree at the center of the Greenwood, in which she lived unaffected by time, able to watch the world evolve around her, and protecting her woodland creation in times of strife. It is unknown how many times she has awoken from her slumber, but the most notable of these occasions was her conflict with Mÿthlarine and the Iron Legions in the first age.

To this day the elves and woodland peoples worship her as their god, and homage is paid to her by most exterior farming communities. It is unclear whether she still inhabits her mother tree, but if the prosperity of the Eastern Forests are any indication, she is alive and thriving.
