Iolnos, Aeoma Elven goddess of fire and life
Also can be thought of as a fusion elemental
Iolnos is the elven goddess of fire, which is attributed to both destruction and life simultaneously. Iolnos is
in reality the aspect of life, one of the attributes of Heaven, but is seen differently in each culture. She is
depicted as a fusion (or plasma) elemental being most of the time, or an elven woman with literal fiery hair.
The story is obviously different for each culture, but elves believe that when their pantheon gathered to create
the heavens and the realms they each presided over an aspect. However, they say that Iolnos used to be a man called
Nosova, and he had a lover named Iolona. Iolona was presiding over the stars, heat, and death, but her destructive
nature gave meaning to the beauty held in all things. Nosova governed the void, all things cold, but also life.
The two were like mirros of each other, both required the other to survive and create worlds, but they could never
be together. Despite their roles the worlds they created were always barren and lifeless, unable to support life
since both their elements were together, and were eternally bound to the destruction of the other.
However they made their love known to the other gods and goddesses of the pantheon, stating that they wanted to be
together because it was too painful being apart. They pleaded the others to grant them the ability to love and not
be destroyed. Their fellow dieties agreed, and their forms combined. Their combined power and love gave birth to the
sun, named "Iolnos", and their bodies gave birth to the unified form, the one commonly depicted as female. It is
believed this star holds their power.
Elves also believe that their combined form appears female because women give life and share some attributes of
both sexes. This is also why elves follow matrilineal ancestry.
Her alternate form, appears as an elf with blond or fiery hair.
