Editing Eldath (section)

==History==
Eldath is often said to be the sister of [[Mielikki]], though the truth of this is not entirely clear. She does consider [[Silvanus]] to be a father figure though Eldath finds his robustness intimidating. 

As the deity of pacifism and peace she does not allow herself to take hostile actions against others, preferring to capitulate and retreat until her opponents work themselves unto untenable positions. This would make her the diametric opposite of [[Tempus]], the god of war, but he generally ignores her; though he respects her position well enough that he has forbidden his faithful from harming hers on pain of denied resurrection in ''Warrior's Rest''. However, Eldath is so shy and passive that she is almost a forgotten power that may fade out of existence altogether. As if to prove the point, in 4E she gets no mention at all.

Despite teetering on the edge of irrelevance, she must have a powerful benefactor somewhere. She used to be considered a neutral demigoddess who wandered the Prime Material Plane, but about eleven years after the [[Time of Troubles]] she mustered the divine power to create a divine realm in [[Elysium]], as well as elevating herself to true ''(albeit lesser)'' deity status. Scholars reckon that either [[Mielikki]], [[Mystra]] or [[Chauntea]] sponsored the move after Eldath turned towards active goodness, probably to keep the more general ideals of "peace" from fading into insignificance.
