| Very well, I offer a possible story based on varyar's writings. Suppose that after Velesia was cast down and his sword shattered, his remaining followers gathered the shards and reforged them into seven deadly elven blades. Velesia's divine essence remains trapped and fragmented within these seven swords. If the EV wanted to see Velesia reborn, after gathering the swords/shards, how would you have them reunited? Ritual? Reforging? After that, what would be their next step? |

Fellfire,
As I recall (it's been a while!) I put Velesia's body on Faerun because that's where he lived (at the end) and died. It seemed fitting and in keeping with what happened to Karsus' body. (He might end up on the Astral, though - now that I think about it, doesn't the old Faiths and Avatars book say that's where all dead deities go?)
Re: the Dark Seldarine, I don't think he'd have anything to do with them. Velesia considers himself a true sun elf, and has nothing but contempt for Lolth and her cohorts. He'd ally with someone likewise mired in self-righteousness, but not an overtly evil god. I'm drawing a blank on who might fit the bill in terms of Faerun's gods here. A younger god, someone who emerged after the Fifth Crown war, maybe - someone Velesia never encountered before, and who has a church that at least seems honorable in character?
You know, as a side note, you bring a good question to light. If there were a very low ranking demi-god who didn't actually have an outer planar "realm" and they died would they go to the astral? If they had ties to only the realms, I'd definitely have their essence be found in the realms. I could see this with some tribal "deities", etc...
Velesia sounds like he'd get along with Assuran of the Three Thunders, god of vengeance. May not be around at whatever time your campaign is though. |

| Sometimes you have an idea that ties so many other ideas together and makes of it a cohesive whole. Serendipity. There is definitely something to be said for procrastination. |
