[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5271426, member: 82679"] Heliasillyel spent her time in carefully molding this version of Solarianderriel to become as close to the original as possible, for her followers to feel at home when they arrive. New beginnings were all well and good, but with beings such as Lavaria loose upon the Material plane, the Sun Goddess felt a need to solidify her positions. When the time was right, her followers came. Three great Spelljammer ships, each housing twenty five score of the most daring and loyal Sun Elves that worship the Smiling Maiden, entered trough the shell of this world's Crystal Sphere and landed on the plateau leading up to Solarianderriel's gates. The expedition was lead by the Radiant High Dawn Alewlyn Ninsharlee, Matriach of the Temple of Heliasillyel, who commanded [I]"Radiance"[/I] - the leading ship in the armada, in the form of Heliasillyel's holy symbol, the eighteen rayed sun disk. Directly under her served Magelord Son'yer Felenten, one of the most accomplished Sun Elven Wizards, commanding [I]"The Gold Dragon"[/I] and Veontal Vyenn-Tireth, a holy warrior, defender of the faith and head of [I]"The Sunspears"[/I], the military organizatoin which backs the Temple of Heliasillyel with maritail prowess, who comendeered [I]"The Phoenix"[/I]. The three ships were greeted by their Goddess while still approaching trough Wildspace, as Heliasillyel had felt a surge of her Divine power returning to her the moment her faithfull entered this realm. Their journey had been long and arduous, but upon seeing this new world, the Elven population was filled with renewed hope and glee. With their Goddess's help, the settlers landed the three ships atop the plateau, and began the constructoin of the first Elven settlement on the Material Plane. With each ship being several square miles wide, there were plenty of materials and supplies to make use of. During the course of the year, a city grew around the three Spelljammer vessels, and completely envelopped them. Whilst 1,500 Sun Elves were far from a multitude, The Smiling Maiden and her flock managed (trough the use of magic and Divine power, as well as more mundane labor) to errect a magnificent bastion constructed withthe use of a hard white rock that was extracted from the mountain (called Whitestone by the settlers). The city housed the [I]"Sunspire"[/I], the first Temple to Heliasillyel, built in the typical fashion of such a structure. A three hundred feet tower, with a wide circular temple at the base, that could house many generations of Clerics and scholars. The settlers also built mansions, constructed wonderous hanging gardens (in which the Holy Symbol to The One and the Many was carved, to seek his blessing upon the plants) and erected a small shrine to Ubarya, as Heliasillyel had taught them of the other Deities on this world, and urged them not to forego the Goddess that governs over death. Lavaria was ignored by virtue of her nature, as all the settlers that had come, were ones with pure intentions and souls (carefully chosen by Veontal as he could detect beings of malign character), and Duretepp was deemed unimportant, as Elves do not sleep nor dream. Since Heliasillyel was still unsure of her daughter, she did not forbid her followers of revering the God-child, but did not order the construction of a srhine as well. The city continued to flourish, and the Goddess continued to grow in power. The streets and homes were decorated with her Holy Symbol, granting her clarvoyance over most of it, and in turn she had shielded it from the other deities and their Divine senses. In Solarianderriel, Heliasillyel's home dimension, a mirror city was created, and both were linked via the Golden Stairwell. Her followers could freely pass between the two, and were thus safe from harm should anything threaten the one on the Material plane. The city was almost exclusively supported by the use of magic, both from Heliasillyel's divine power and the still untamed arcane magic of this new world. Both food and water were created by the Clergy and the Mages, and magical servants were spawned to do the labour, whilst the Sun Elves devoted their time to the study of magic, arts, athletics and of course, leisure. The year had all but passed away, and the grand celebrations marking the anniversary of the founding of Nueva Helivyalla were in preparation. It was a fitting time for Heliasillyel to pay a visit to her sister, and perhaps to invite her and some of her followers to the festivites.
