History
Tunare, the Mother of All The Mother of All can also be described as the goddess of life and nature. She was among the first
gods to come to
Norrath following Veeshan claiming the planet. During the Age of Scale, Tunare, along with
Brell Serilis and
Prexus, agreed to a pact in which they would plant the seeds of life in the promising world in order to balance out
Veeshan's power. Tunare claimed the land of Norrath while Brell and Prexus claimed the caverns and oceans respectively. She first created the
Elves, creatures of grace and beauty. The Mother of All is also credited with the creation of many other animals, plants, and mystical creatures including
faeries, sprites, treants, and
unicorns. The Elves though are her greatest creation, for they have contributed much to the world with their advancements and studies in the arcane arts.
During the Age of Blood, the
Elves were forced to flee their homes on the continent named after Tunare due to the actions of
Solusek Ro. Ro inexplicably raised what are known today as the Serpent's Spine mountains, which cut off the rains that came from the plains of Karana to the west. The years of drought turned the Eldarr Forest into the Desert of Ro. The Elves sailed the Ocean of Tears to Faydwer, the land of
Dwarves and
Gnomes. Within the Greater Faydark, they established two cities. Kelethin, a wonderous treetop city of platforms and elegant bridges; and Felwithe, a magnificent castle of the most beautiful marble. A
church devoted to Tunare was erected in Felwithe, which stood throughout the
Age of Turmoil.

In most lore, Tunare is depicted as a tall Elven woman of unmatched beauty. She often wears a flowing green dress lined with gold. Her blonde hair, which nearly touches the ground, is
crowned with
vines and
leaves. During the

Among the Pantheon

Teir'Dal. Her allies include
Karana,
Erollisi Marr, and
Rodcet Nife. During the
Age of Turmoil, she also had an alliance with
Druzzil Ro, which opened a portal through time for adventurers to learn the secrets of Takish-Hiz. She is one of several gods to have returned to
Norrath during the
Age of Destiny.
