| - Ellinill is the Elven god of Disaster, and the Lord of Destruction. Together with his children, they form the Ellinilli.[1a] Legends tell that Ellinill once had more than one hundred offspring, each of whom had inherited an aspect of his destructive nature. Together, father and progeny inflicted all manner of disasters upon the world, reveling in the harm they unleashed upon the Elves. Ellinill was proud of his children, but he was also paranoid, and worried that they might conspire to supplant him. Individually, the offspring were no match for their sire, but the Lord of Destruction was wary of their combined power, and so watched them closely.[1a]
- Ellinill is the Elven many-faced God of Destruction. He has over one hundred aspects, the most well known being: Hukon, the Sunderer, God of Earthquakes; Addaioth, God of Fire and Volcanoes; and Estreuth, God of Hunger and Draught. One of his lesser known aspects is Mathlann, God of Storms and the Deeps. In the time before the Sundering, he was frequently appeased by the Elves. They would offer flowers, fly floating lamps and burn incense in his name. Mathlann is still worshipped in a similar fashion by High Elf sailors millennia after.

| - Ellinill is the Elven god of Disaster, and the Lord of Destruction. Together with his children, they form the Ellinilli.[1a] Legends tell that Ellinill once had more than one hundred offspring, each of whom had inherited an aspect of his destructive nature. Together, father and progeny inflicted all manner of disasters upon the world, reveling in the harm they unleashed upon the Elves. Ellinill was proud of his children, but he was also paranoid, and worried that they might conspire to supplant him. Individually, the offspring were no match for their sire, but the Lord of Destruction was wary of their combined power, and so watched them closely.[1a] Finally, Isha could bear the suffering of the Elves no more, and pleaded with the other gods to curtail the actions of the Ellinilli. All save one refused to heed her, for they were all wary of provoking Ellinill's wrath. Only Loec the Trickster answered Isha's plea, and he soon deceived Ellinill into believing that the long-feared betrayal had arrived. Upon hearing Loec's words, the Lord of Destruction flew into a rage and, one by one, hunted down and consumed his children, reclaiming the facets of destruction they had once embodied. Yet the battles had weakened Ellinill, and he would never again know the level of godly might he once enjoyed.[1a] Of all the Ellinilli, only five survived: Addaioth, Bringer of Wrath and Fire; Estreuth, Herald of Famine and Drought; Hukon the Sunderer; Mathlann, King of Storm and Sea; and Drakira, Queen of Vengeance. They hid themselves in the mortal world, and have never returned to the heavens lest they join in their siblings' fate.[1a]

As a seafaring race of Elves, the Dark Elves also make offerings to appease Mathlann. Dark Elves ritualistically sacrifice living beings, often slaves, to win his favour. The victims of his worship can often be seen hanging off the sides of Corsair vessels. The blessings of Mathlann can take many forms, sometimes Ellinill may clear the skies ahead of a corsair fleet, at other times he may conjure a storm to beset their enemies.
