Elnar, Elemental Lord of Earth

Elnar is the Elemental Lord of Earth. He was created by Valazar during the First Era, and currently resides in the Elemental Plane of Earth.

Elnar is enemies with Qovan.

Creation of Somara
Elnar was created by Valazar during the First Era. Vocan's most notable accomplishment is the creation of earth, one of the four primal elements.

During the First Era, he warred with his Elemental Lord brethren for influence over Somara. Fearing that their wars would eventually destroy or seriously damage the world, Neket attempted to impose order on the Lords. This failed, however, and they all split into two beings: the Lords, who were pushed to embody the chaotic side of their element, and the Elemental Goddesses, who embody the more orderly aspect. Derala is the ordered counterpart of Elnar, and the two have a distant relationship, mostly due to differences in emotion and beliefs about their respective duties.

Appearance
When Elnar appears in mortal form, or on other planes of existence, he typically takes the form of a large, dark-skinned humanoid. His body is hairless, and his limbs (and where they connect to his torso) is made of a solid gray rock. Elnar carries a large wooden quarterstaff (a gift from Syvl), and has incredible strength. He typically leaves his upper body uncovered, and the little clothing he does wear typically takes on drab, earthy colors.

Personality
Elnar is very stoic and patient. He tends to be passive to a fault, preferring contemplation to brash action. He is usually emotionally distant, feeling little in the way of sympathy or pity for the plights of others. While difficult to provke, Elnar can slip into a quiet, deadly rage if pushed too much, typically resulting in violence and destruction. Elnar is often difficult to deal with due to his apathy and caution.

Worship
Elnar recieves the least worship of all the Elemental Lords, with his Nature Domain clerics typically being either Dao or Earth Genasi. Some monks of the Way of the Four Elements revere Elnar, but do not generally worship him.
