Thatalia is the [[Elves|Elven]] Goddess of selfishness, passion, deceit, victory and ambition. She appears as a strikingly beautiful elf with raven black hair and fierce, piercing golden eyes. She represents those who put their goals and ambitions above anything else in life, wether it's in order to gain power, wealth, knowledge, or to make a cause triumph. To her, one should not shy away from anything in order to reach these goals, be it by manipulating, using or sacrificing others, or simply staying strong no matter the obstacles. To Thatalia, the end justifies every means. She is a rather ambiguous deity. While she is mostly seen as merciless and evil, those with noble goals sometimes pray to her as well, and Thatalia might smile upon them just as much as on someone hell bent on total world domination... as long as they are ready to see it through to the very end, that is. | Thatalia is the [[Elves|Elven]] Goddess of selfishness, passion, deceit, victory and ambition.

In ancient times, Elves used to worship a large number of Gods and Goddesses. They composed a complex pantheon full of plots and intrigues that appeared to passionate elves but remained little known outside their culture. Nowadays that Pantheon shank to about just about a dozen divinities, some of them worshipped only in some tribes and not in others. Interestingly enough, some Elven Divinities such as Araxiad or Thatalia became progressively mainstream in Felarya for a variety of reasons, and are now almost more worshipped by non-elves than by elves themselves !
