I was just reading Elder Secrets and came across an oddity. In there
Opinions? These days Aldrya seems to have an awful lot of Ancestor
Do Aldryami have ancestors? Can they trace individual 'saplines' back
it is said that all Aldryami worship Aldrya [check] but some worship
other gods/traditions as well. One of the prominent traditions is
'Ancestor Worship'.
Worship about 'her', and the shamaic aspect was always part of how
Aldrya was worshipped, but I'm finding myself greatly doubting the
concept of Aldryami ancestors in the first place.
to the First Council and the Dawn? Elder secrets puts forwards 250ish
as a reasonable bet for an Aldryami lifespan, which suggests that some
will have pretty potent ancestors, IF they have the concept. I don't
think it feels right. It's too tied into families, and the idea of a
mummy elf and a daddy elf who love each other very much smacks of
Tolkien.
