Divine Blessings

Before the Godloss, each of the Divines of the Avalondi granted a gift to their people. Some are more common that others, and some are so rare that only a handful of individuals have it. The vast majority of Avalondi are granted the Blessing of Eramuuth when they are born. It is also possible to forsake Eramuuth's blessing and gain one of the other blessings. This is an exceptionally difficult task, and is often viewed as either taboo or must be done in front of a shrine with the proper offerings. Strangely, even after the Godloss, all of the blessings from the gods still exist and can be gained, leading many to claim their gods are not dead. However, the clergy of Eramuuth, a divine that is known to still exist, have said that the others are gone and the blessings are remainder divine power.

• Blessing of Alshion (Skywalker): The Avalondi blessed by Alshion have a speed and grace that goes beyond that of other Avalondi, allowing them to easily flow around obstacles. His blessing grants the Avalondi a +1 dodge bonus to AC while moving and a +2 bonus to Acrobatics checks.
• Blessing of Eramuuth (Elven Immunities): The majority of Avalondi are blessed and protected by Eramuuth. This blessing was to fix a mistake the gods made with the "First People." Eramuuth protects the mind of the Avalondi from intrusion. The Avalondi gains a +1 racial bonus on Will saves and an additional +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.
• Blessing of Eliesrana (Dreamseer): A small number Avalondi have the ability to tap into the power of sleep, dreams, and prescient reverie. The majority of those with this blessing are Star Elves, but does not have to be exclusively so. Avalondi with this racial trait add +1 to saving throw DCs for spells of the divination school, sleep effects they cast, as well as any spell or effect that affects dreams. They also gain a +1 bonus to caster level for such abilities and spells.
• Blessing of Ishrana (Primal Hunter): Ishrana grants a select few Avalondi to be the most prestigious of hunters. The Avalondi gains scent and a +2 racial bonus on Survival checks.
• Blessing of Haarl (Waterwalker): Haarl grants a small few the ability to enter his realm. The Avalondi gains the Amphibious sub-type and can breathe both air and water. Additionally, they are immune to the pressure effects of deep water. Sea elves are typically born with this blessing.
• Blessing of Kaeleth (Lightbringer): Many elves revere the sun, moon, and stars, but some are literally infused with the radiant power of Kaeleth. While this trait is most commonly seen in Light Elves, although any Avalondi could be granted this blessing. Avalondi with this racial trait are immune to light-based blindness and dazzle effects, and are treated as one level higher when determining the effects of any light-based spell or effect they cast (including spell-like and supernatural abilities).
• Blessing of Pathon (The Unbound): Those with Pathon's protection are more difficult to bind. The Avalondi gains a +2 racial bonus to saves vs spells and abilities that hinder movement, and a +2 racial bonuses to Escape Artist, combat maneuver checks to escape a grapple, and to CMD against grapples, bull rush, and reposition.
• Blessing of Pria (Oakskinned): The blessing of Pria is one of toughness. These Avalondi are praised as dutiful guardians of the Avalondi way, and defenders of the forests. The Avalondi gains DR 5/darkwood.
• Blessing of Saianash (Rune Touched): Saianash's position as scribe allows him to grant protection against those who would do harm with language. The Avalondi is immune to any effect that is language dependent and gains a +2 racial bonus to saves against spells made with writing, such as glyphs, sigils, and runes.
• Blessing of Volenrath (Swordtouched): While it is not required to bear the Sword, it is required that someone in your past did. With that, this trait can manifest in nearly anything. Due to the connection the Sythe line has with the Sword of Sythe, many of its members are born with increased positive energy within them. This also occasionally extends to those born in other Legacies when Sythe blood mingles with theirs. This grants a number of abilities. They gain resistance 5 against negative energy damage. They do not lose hit points when they gain a negative level, and they gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear effects, death effects, energy drain, negative energy, spells or spell-like abilities of the necromancy school, swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage from exhaustion, Constitution checks made to continue running, Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst, Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments, and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation. Unlike other blessings, this blessing counts as both the blessing and the Elven Heritage, disallowing the elf to take a heritage.
