Seren

Seren is the goddess of the Elves, and it is implied in the Path of Glouphrie that she may be the divine aspect of the Anima Mundi. She had a close relationship with Guthix and was thought to be affected by his edicts; however, it was hinted at that she wasn't and that she "had been here all along".

Part of Seren's vision of peace is that she is a pacifist, shying violence as much as she can: "Seren is a pacifist because she believes that peace can only be achieved by segregating and living behind walls."

Seren, along with Tuska, Marimbo, and the Elder Gods, are the only known goddesses not part of the Menaphite Pantheon, although she was not female before her ascent to godhood, but possibly male or even genderless.

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. 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. As the chaotic God Wars began, the elves went into hiding in Tirannwn. 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. Seren is also the creator of the Dire wolves, although some are found in the Zamorakian Chaos Tunnels. During the Gods Wars, the creatures of nature, such as Grenwall (and notably Dinsdale), aligned themselves with Seren. Seren is also believed to have created the Light creatures that inhabit Juna's cave. Soon after, Guthix awoke from his slumber and established his Edicts. 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.

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
There is one known altar to Seren found in the elven outpost of Lletya. Graphically, this altar resembles one of Saradomin, except it is wooden and does not appear to have a god symbol on it.

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.

Trivia

 * 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.
 * Sign of life looks like symbol of Seren.
