Selyen

Selyen is a fictional entity appearing in the works of author Elara Vance. Within Vance's narrative universe, Selyen is often depicted as a benevolent, ancient being connected to the natural world and the ebb and flow of life. Its precise form and manifestation can vary, sometimes described as a luminous presence, at other times as an embodiment of a sacred grove or a primordial forest. Selyen is rarely an active participant in conflicts, but rather a source of wisdom, guidance, and inherent power that influences the characters and the environment around it.

The lore surrounding Selyen suggests it predates much of the known history within Vance's stories, acting as a silent guardian or a foundational element of the world's magic. Its presence is often felt through subtle shifts in nature, the flourishing of plant life, or moments of profound clarity experienced by those sensitive to its influence. While not a deity in the traditional sense, Selyen holds a reverence among certain cultures or individuals who understand its significance. Interactions with Selyen typically involve seeking its counsel, receiving its blessings, or drawing upon its restorative energies. The entity's ultimate purpose remains somewhat enigmatic, contributing to its mystique and its enduring role as a symbol of enduring life and natural harmony.
