ELWEN AND NEWLE, THE GODS
 ELWENThe Swimming Sun, The Blessed Elf (By Elwenists), The Scorching Day (By Newleists) ALIGNMENT : lawful good - true neutral followers called Elwenists |
Elwen and Newle are seen as many things by the residents of PLACEHOLDER. The creators of the universe, the universe’s first children, star dust in human form— none of these theories are confirmed, though it is known that they do exist. They are usually seen as twins, representing many different aspects of the universe, world, and its inhabitants. They are both humanoid and genderless, though Elwen presents masculine and Newle feminine. Newle is commonly shown with both reproductive systems of humanoids and Elwen having neither. Neither of them have pupils— their eyes are only white, occasionally glowing. They are sometimes seen as “good” and “bad” — Elwen and Newle — but it has been increasingly understood that neither are truly good nor evil. They're best compared to yin and yang, a balance. Elwenists and Newleist have a sort of rivalry with each other, as do Elwen and Newle themselves, but it is important to note that neither are worse or better! |
