Rillifane Rallathil (pronounced: /ˈrɪlɪfnɛ ˈrɑːləθɪlRILL-ih-fayne RALL-uh-thihl[5]) was a deity of the Seldarine who oversaw woodlands, wild elves, druids, and nature.[1][5]

The Yuir elves worshiped a giant treant called Relkath of the Infinite Branches, which was purported to be an aspect of Rillifane Rallathil.[8]

The Leaflord was friendly with the fellow deities of Seldarine, and many of sylvan and faerie deities,[5] in particular Eldath, Mielikki, Silvanus, Oberon, and Titania, as well as Baervan Wildwanderer, Cyrrollalee, Eilistraee, Emmantiensien, Sheela Peryroyl, Skerrit, Osiris, Verenestra and various Animal Lords.[1] He was opposed to Malar, Talos and the Dark Seldarine.[5]

Khalreshaar, an interloper goddess in the elven pantheon, aspect of Mielikki serves Fillifan Rallathil under this aspect.[9]

Worshipers[]

Temples[]

Though not a temple, Rillifane's Grove in Leuthilspar on the island of Evermeet served as a sacred place for wood and wild elves to conduct marriages, funerals, or other ceremonies, as well as a place used to contact the Seldarine by moon and sun elf priests.[10]

Notable Followers[]

History[]

When the Sy'Tel'Quessir settled in the Yuirwood, the Seldarine merged with the ancient gods of the Yuir, taking them on as aspects. Magnar the Bear and Relkath of the Infinite Branches became a part of the Leaflord. As a result of these changes, over the centuries since, the Wild One once more become more primordial in spirit.[1]

Notes[]

In keeping with the issues regarding the wild elf/wood elf subrace split, older sources talk about Rillifane Rallathil being the patron of the Sy'Tel'Quessir, commonly understood to be also known as wild elves or green elves (at the time also known as wood elves or sylvan elves).[1] Newer sources however, which do differentiate between the two subraces, make specific reference to the Leaflord being the patron of wild elves. However, in these same newer sources the Wild One is talked of as the patron of wood elves and to a much lesser extent that of the wild elves.[5] Further confusing this is the fact that Solonor Thelandira is talked of as being the special patron of the wood elves[12] and, most recently, in the Player's Handbook 5th edition, Rillifane is listed as "wood elf god of nature."[13]
