Seren

Seren (pronounced /ˈsɛrən/ SEH-ren) is the crystal goddess of the elves, as well as the divine aspect of the Anima Mundi. She had a close relationship with Guthix and was brought to Gielinor by him in the First Age, bringing along her elves through the World Gate. They settled in Tirannwn and built the great city of Prifddinas from crystal.

Seren, along with Tuska, Marimbo, and the Elder Gods, are the only known goddesses not part of the Menaphite Pantheon.

History
Little is known about Seren; it is unknown how she attained godhood, but it is known that she comes from a crystal plane, along with the elves. She taught her followers how to use things when needed and to share things with others. Seren is noted to have created the Dire wolves, and possibly light creatures.

First - Second Age:
Guthix, the god of balance, arrived to her home world and offered Seren and the elves a better land and life, leading them into Gielinor through the World Gate. After leading the Elves through the World Gate from her native realm into Gielinor's forest of Isafdar, Seren created the legendary Tower of Voices from crystal. Here the elves constructed one of Gielinor's first cities and the oldest settlement still in existence today, Prifddinas. Together, Guthix and Seren helped the mortal races prosper. The two grew close to each other, seeing the care they brought to the world. Guthix then revealed his true feelings: Gielinor should belong to mortals. Before resting, Guthix tried to convince Seren to leave Gielinor, referring to the fact that he wanted the world to forget him. However, she stayed and hid, remaining with her followers as Guthix slept. The elves continued to worship Seren for millennia.

Third Age:
As the chaotic God Wars began, the elves went into hiding in Tirannwn, the creatures of nature, such as Grenwall (and notably Dinsdale), aligned themselves with Seren. Her followers remained safe in Tirannwn during the God Wars with few venturing out with the desire to fight.

Fourth Age:
After Guthix declared that some gods were banished by the Edicts of Guthix, Seren sealed Prifddinas's undercity, including the Grand Library, with nine powerful seals. Guthix visited Seren and forced her to leave Gielinor, giving her no other choice. Seren couldn't bear being without her followers, so she exploded into crystals which were scattered across Isafdar. Guthix wept, thinking she was gone forever. A civil war came about, causing the city of Prifddinas to be taken over by the opposing elves.

Fifth - Sixth Age:
Seren's reaction to the death of Guthix is unknown, but some of her followers hope to bring her back by either collecting every crystal to reform her, or by recreating the city for her. They also believe that if they can find the World Gate, they would be able to travel back into their home world and recreate her there. Some of her followers wish to leave her at rest, honouring her final act.

Statements
"Myriad and beautiful were the creatures and civilizations of the early ages of the world. Gielinor was a work of art, shaped lovingly over the millennia by the creative mind of Guthix. Only the sturdiest races survived the Godwars, and even then only by abandoning their high culture and gearing their societies towards war. Of the more delicate races there is now no trace, and almost no memory. One such race had bodies as fragile as snowflakes, yet they built crystal cities that stood for a thousand years. The wind would whisper through the spires and fill them with sweet harmonies, and the rising sun would shine through the precious gems that studded the towers and create inter plays of light as if rainbows were dancing. Indeed, so marvelous was this light-show that the patterns of light themselves became alive, and great flocks of luminous creatures rode along the gem cast beams, each drawn to its own colour. The creatures you see floating in this chasm are the last sorry remnants of that age. I do not know how they made their way here and survived to this time, but I am grateful for their company."

Trivia

 * There is one known altar to Seren found in the elven outpost of Lletya.
 * When the RuneScape-based game Armies of Gielinor was released on Jagex's Funorb website on 16 January 2009, the front page had stacked pillars depicting the followers and the symbols of the six gods whose followers players can control. Of those, only Menaphites (Followers of Tumeken) and Seren were previously unknown.
 * Seren is the Welsh word for "star." This is the accepted meaning of her name, as nearly all other elven names are also in Welsh.
 * Crystal tree locations form part of a diamond, similar to the logo of Seren, however, one corner of this is missing, and its presumed location is in Prifddinas. Runefest 2013 confirmed this tree to possibly contain the heart of Seren.
 * The sign of life resembles the symbol of Seren.
 * The facial structure on Seren's concept art heavily resembles the facial structure of the Elder God concept art.
 * Seren's body shape, crystalline structures, and facial structure also strongly resemble the concept art of Zaros' incorporeal form.
