Domains: Language, inherited memory, song-as-archive.
Era of ascension: Hykravones, the Shattering. Cohort: current. Aelwennar is the second of the surviving-as-new-forms Druidic patrons. He came back as the long elven oral tradition itself, the unbroken song that carries elven memory across generations and was already the oldest surviving language on Alaria by the time the Landsmeet first convened.
Worshipped by: The Druidic faction; the Amverela, Caerene, Rakiten, Ythari, Spindral, Istori, Teflin, and Starborn elves as inheritors of the Long-Song; the Sivakr, who carry his older worship beneath the newer state-mandated worship of Tiira; and every elven loremaster who has memorized a recitation longer than a single life. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)
His name does not break. The other Druidic patron, Eluvarin Aelweir, carries the formal double-word ancestral register; Aelwennar refuses it. Loremasters who tried to render his name in two words found the song would not pass through the seam — the recitation broke, the memorized sequence forgot itself, and the next generation would not learn the part that had been split off. The patron's name is one word because the Long-Song is one song, and the song is the patron. To break the name is to ask whether memory can survive in pieces, and the answer the patron gave to those early loremasters was: not the memory I carry.
He is not Tiira. The Sivakr know this best, because they pray to both. Tiira is the new memory-meddler, the rising daemon of malleable memory, forced into divinity by silver-elf government inside living memory. Aelwennar is the older patron of memory as inheritance — what is sung from a parent to a child to a grandchild, what cannot be revised because the children would notice. Where Tiira's power moves memory and where it shapes what individuals remember, Aelwennar's power keeps a remembered sequence intact across centuries. A Sivakr memory-duelist who needs to falsify what an opponent recalls prays to Tiira. The same Sivakr returning home and reciting the family song at the year-end fire prays to Aelwennar instead. The two prayers are not in tension on the worshipper's account, though the patrons may have a different view; neither has spoken on the question.
The Long-Song itself runs to several thousand stanzas and is divided into custodial portions, each carried by a different loremaster lineage. No one elf knows the entire song. The patron's body is the assembly of all of them taken together, and the elves have so far succeeded in keeping the assembly intact across the Shattering, the Walk, the Great Expansion, and the long-internal disputes that should have broken it. The Druids hold the disputed verses unsung, in custody, until the disputes resolve themselves through the patience of further generations. Aelwennar waits with them.
