Before there were stories to tell, Chretien longed to tell them.  He mastered the written word, excelled as a lyric poet, and invented the novel.  When his brothers and sisters squabbled, he soothed the tensions between them and worked out lasting agreements.

Girart spent his life in humble piety before Doon, and in contemplation of His will.  Girart married a devout woman, Berthe.  Together they took up arms and fought in battle after battle at Doon's direction.  Despite pursuing His will, they witnessed defeat after defeat at the hands of their enemies.  Though many others fled, deserted, or surrendered, Girart never waivered in his faith.  He continued to march where he was told, to fight with his whole spirit, and to rally those who remained in the battles.

Finally, at the Battle of Montbard, Girart, Berthe, and their allies found themselves surrounded and beset on all sides.  Girart stepped forward into the morning air, across the lines, and knelt to pray.  As Girart prayed an enemy warrior charged, but Girart slew him without rising.  Another came to interrupt his prayer and was cut down.  And another.  And another.  An amphitheater of bodies rose before Girart, who never ceased his prayers, or even opened his eyes.  When the sun had reached its zenith, he rose and climbed atop the pile.  Looking down on what remained of the enemy forces, he accepted their surrender.

He continued to serve for many centuries, until he was lost in the Battle of Celeron Pass.

Ganelon's name is synonymous with treachery among many elves.  He resented Chretien's boastfulness and popularity, and Ambrosius's tight control of Lutetia.  When Emerwen nominated him, instead of Chretien, for a dangerous mission as messenger to the orcs, Ganelon was deeply offended and vowed vengeance.

He plotted the ambush at Celeron Pass, where many good elves were lost and Lutetia's safety greatly weakened.  His revenge almost brought about the fall of the kingdom.  But in the end, justice was served.  Ganelon's confederate, Pinabel, was killed in trial by combat, demonstrating to all that Ganelon was a traitor.  He was captured and torn limb from limb by four fiery horses.

Though most elves believe Ganelon rightly suffers in Hell, there are those who sympathize with him and find his complaints not unjustified.  There are even those who believe that his rent form achieved apotheosis, and ascended to watch over other malcontents.

A very old figure in elven myth, Règlefort is often depicted as an elf with sharp features, long yellow hair, and vivid green eyes.  He wears rough clothing of fur and hide, of colors to match the season.  He left elven society early to forge his own path in the wild.  There, he found pleasure throughout the year, rejoicing in Spring, making merry in Summer, feasting in Autumn, and finding time to dream in Winter.

Règlefort sees no value in social caste or family lineage, as some other elves do, recognizing only individual merit.  To him, titles such as knight or queen are meaningless.  He demands respect for the wild forest and its inhabitants.  Hunters are expected to kill in one shot; those who leave their prey wounded deserve to become the hunted themselves.

Domains:  Air, Earth, Plant, Renewal

Le Vieux Bois may be the only elven deity who is not an elf.  Before there were elves, there was Le Vieux Bois.  It holds up the world, and it fills the world.  Every tree, every herb, and every blade of grass is an extension of Le Vieux Bois into the mortal realm.  It has always been, and it will always be.  This inexorableness puts it above things like politics and war.
