=Eltya of Life's Eternal Flame= Whereas the Imperials worship no god and follow the Founder's Legacy as a rubric for their civilization, the Eltyain pay homage to a god of fertility and benevolence. '''Eltya''', as their god is called, is often depicted as a stag with sprawling antlers, each of which tipped with an ever-burning flame. This burning crown frames an eerily humanoid face, eyes set as deep as can be and with a somewhat concerned expression at all times. Though almost every Eltyain knows of the existence of their god, not many are able to see Him, much less understand His message. This fact is how the tribe's elders are chosen. It is said that Eltya would peer through the perpetually dense fog of the Forest unto those He deems worthy and capable of translating His message to the people. Those who have been graced by Him will come back to the current elder, his forehead graced with the holy wax of His antlers. Though the cabal who commune with Eltya Himself is extremely small, the majority of people, Eltyain and otherwise, know of His existence through his servants, the '''Phrennoack Stags'''. Borne of the holy wax shed from His antlers, the psychopomps usually appear before someone who has become recently deceased, their primary function is to shepherd its soul back unto Eltya's flame. If for whatever reason that something or someone else gets a hold of that soul before a Stag can reclaim it, there are known to be dire consequences. If there are not souls to be harvested, the Stags usually appear in areas of the Forest in the balance of life and death is disrupted, driving back whichever force has too much of an advantage. As such, their presence is usually considered a good omen for humble travelers venturing into otherwise dangerous lands.
