Translation to Tehând
Duldpand – Licht-Seele / Licht-Leben
duld „light“
pand „life“;
Siliäe = “Shimmering Essence” | “Light Soul”
→ “That which lives in the light”
„Sont bête pand pand, val pafal pand kakayz..“
→ „Every soul is life, and all life flows eternally“ or “life flows ever”
The name itself is ancient, preserved from the oldest form of Tehând, long before human language took its current shape.
It does not describe what they do, but what they are: fragments of the Wyldheart, the very essence of the gods. Living memories of the existence of the goddess Faonlin.
They teach that balance is achieved not through power, but through understanding – and that even darkness has its place in the song of light.
– Codex Entry, Author Unknown
The Siläe are considered one of the oldest and most mystical peoples of Ananthara. It is said that they were not born but awakened — emerging from the first rays of light when the Wyldheart (Miryn’Lir’thal) was sent into the world.
Origin: The Sacred Wylds and the Awakening of the Siliäe
Legend has it that the Sacred Wylds were the birthplace of Ananthara and once the dwelling of the goddess Faonlin. When Faonlin, together with her brothers, created Ananthara and descended to the world, every place she touched blossomed into a forest — eventually giving rise to the entire kingdom of Bayr’thalas, or simply Bay’r.
“Bayr” → Sacred land, origin of nature
“Thalas” → Eternity, harmony, the unbreakable bond with nature
When the Wyldheart — the soul — was created through the power of the gods, it was the Sacred Wylds that first received this essence. Faonlin infused the forests with this power, giving life to the first beings of Ananthara, the Siliäe.
The Siliäe - Forest beings born from wood, bark, mushrooms, and blossoms — a people infused with the essence of Faonlin. From tiny fairies to living trees, they came into the light of day. Faonlin watched over her creation, guiding the new inhabitants along the paths and teachings of the gods, observing as they developed their own consciousness and gradually evolved their forms.
Faonlin poured all her knowledge and essence into the Silaë, making them the guardians of the Wyldheart and ancient wisdom spanning the past, present, and future.
Since the goddess’s death, it is said, they have vanished and have never been seen again. Many consider them a myth, a legend. Some whisper that, because they were created from Faonlin’s very essence, they may have perished alongside her. Others claim that those who allegedly found a path through the forest caught glimpses of fleeting silhouettes dancing among the ancient trees.
It is said that no one actively seeking the Silaë will ever truly find them. The wilderness itself tests whether you are ready to confront your innermost self and understand the truth about your being and the essence of the Wyldheart. Only by passing these trials can you gain access to the Silaë sanctuary and witness their existence, their culture, and their world-altering knowledge — knowledge that stretches back to the very dawn of creation.
A Legende…
It is said that anyone who sees a light dancing deep within the forest has heard the whisper of Faonlin. But those who try to capture it lose themselves—not in the forest, but within their own soul.
