Labelas Enoreth

Overview

Labelas Enoreth is the elven philosopher-deity of time and history, whose gift of trance is crucial to elven identity and survival. He is a patient teacher and instructor, with a calm demeanor. According to legend he traded an eye for the ability to peer through time. He is primarily concerned with transgenerational changes and the growth of wisdom and learning among elves, and rarely involves himself directly in the lives of individuals. Along with Sehanine Moonbow he oversees the lifespan of elves, decreeing when they come to an end and allowing them passage to Arvandor. He governs the orderly passage of time, and guards against those who would alter the path of history.

Realm

In the World Tree cosmology of Realmspace, Labelas Enoreth resides within the Vanishing Tower which is located on the outer planar realm known as Arvandor, which he shares with the rest of the Seldarine, including Corellon Larethian, Aerdrie Faenya, Sehanine Moonbow, Deep Sashelas, Eilistraee, Erevan Ilesere, Fenmarel Mestarine, Hanali Celanil, Shevarash, Rillifane Rallathil, and Solonor Thelandira. Arvandor, home of the Seldarine and the eladrin, is a vast expanse of pristine wilderness and lush natural beauty, with verdant forests, towering mountains, azure streams, crystal lakes and a deep green sea. The Vanishing Tower is one of the more mysterious features of Arvandor. Most of the time the Vanishing Tower cannot be found - perhaps it is simply invisible, or more likely, it has disappeared into some demiplane or pocket dimension. Whatever the case, when it does manifest, it can appear anywhere in Arvandor except within another deities realm. Its appearance is often considered an omen of some kind, often portentous if not a harbinger of doom.
