I rather like this :) and if I think of my Dalish Elf Mirshann *points to avie* then hers is Mythal. Despite her extreme hatred for shems (hehe), I think her protectiveness of elves, friends, clan, etc. makes sense :o

5) Sylaise: Hearth Keeper
Sylaise is known to be the ones to show elves fire, and to keep them safe from the cold. This tattoo pair has a flame in the middle of the forehead, and the more details make it look like it also has bricks, and smoke.

6) Dirthamen: Keeper of Secrets
Dirthamen is the twin brother of Falon'Din, who will never stay willingly apart from eachother. This is how the old elves how entered 'the waking sleep' and came back, gained new knowledge. The Tattoo pair has a sort of book shape covering the forehead, like a book hidden with secrets.


Wow thanks for doing all this figuring. Saves me alot of time. LOL. I was sitting and staring at the tattoos for an hour, dreading trying to decide what deities I should claim to call on; before I thought of checking on here. I guess I'll go with 5 and 6 for my current project. I can always change it if something official comes around. LOL

Also the tattoo that you give as Sylaise is the same one that a healer wears so it makes sense because Sylaise taught elves how to use herbs and magic. Image IPB

4) Mythal: The Great Protector
On the more basic tattoo of the pair, it lookes more like a sheld, but in the more detailed of the two, theres 'sprouts' added too it, it's said because of Mythal she clamed down Elgar'nan and helped bring the earth back to life.
...


Its a drawn bow with a nocked arrow.  The fletching is on the chin, the arrow shaft runs straight up the middle of the face, and the point is on the forehead.  The limbs of the bow curve above the eyes, and the strings comes down the cheek to the chin.
