Enlil's Lore:

Enlil was the first Godly being that Arwii created and everywhere he touched plants and grasses grew and thrived. The bare earth before him held a promise of a world surrounded by greenery and the mental image in his mind had excited him. 

With leaps and bounds, Enlil pranced across the world. He started off small; sprouting grasses and shoulder-high bushes. Clovers and daisies bloomed across the sea of grass to bring more colour to the world.

Seeing the grasses, flowers and bushes, Enlil grew bolder. He made trees, some as tall as mountains and others as tall as himself. The bushes he had made he touched and the flowers shrivelled and turned into berries, some tart and others sweet. A joyful experience that Enlil alone enjoyed.

Yet all the wonder he had created soon began to wither and die despite the care he brought them. All for nought. In a panic, Enlil rushed to Arwii and implored him to help find a way to keep his precious plants alive. And when Umbru came to be, bringing a soft light that rejuvenated his plants, Enlil went on his merry way to continue bringing more flora to the new world. 

Umbru’s creation proved useful to Enlil’s plants and her beauty inspired him to make grand flowers like roses and lilies… But the third God to be created was nothing but a nuisance. 

Hathar’s waters were drowning Enlil’s precious plants and spoiling the earth they sprouted from. His temper broken, Enlil snapped at Hathar about his careless behaviour that ruined what Enlil had created. His words had been harsh and it drove Hathar to tears which only made the situation worse, as it began to rain for the first time on Prehistoria. 

With nothing else to do, Enlil once again approached Arwii to demand help with his plants. The wind that blew the rains across the world did help in more ways than one, and Enlil had been able to make his plants more sturdy against the weather and able to thrive once more… But still, it wasn’t enough to keep his plants alive long enough for him to gaze upon his creations and admire them from afar. 

Enlil’s constant demands made Arwii finally lose his temper; a fiery temper that created Hasswei - the sun that Enlil’s plants had needed to thrive and spread without his aid. And for the first time in a long time, Enlil was able to look upon the green world with pride and joy. But it wasn’t to last long…

With the arrival of the immortal beasts that ate his plants, the greenery he had worked so hard to make began to shrink over time. And with the population growing too fast for him to keep up, his plants suffered a massive loss… This time, when Enlil went to Arwii for help, he mentioned how there would be no more food for the populace if they kept eating nothing but his plants.

The appearance of the mortals and their appetite had caused Enlil to venture into the far corner of the world to create what is known as Enlil’s Heart; a massive forest in which he secluded himself, to tend and experiment with his beloved plants. Due to his solitude within the forest and his lack of social skills, his disappearance wasn’t noticed. And it wasn’t known if he even remains in the forest - or if he has also left Prehistoria in its entirety like the other Gods.

Personality:
Passionate, proud, joyful and snobbish.

When it comes to his plants, Enlil can be quite demanding and impolite at times, but he is a relatively friendly Megaloceros once you get to know him. He loves talking about his forest and the plants he makes there and he is very enthusiastic to talk with like-minded individuals about his plants; from their different appearances and what benefits the plants offer.

As a sensitive soul, though, he can visibly deflate if there is no interest shown in his pride and joy that is his forest, but to hide how upset the disinterest had made him, Enlil can become snobbish and moody.

Enlil sees keeping Prehistoria green with grasses and trees as his personal duty. It was something that he was made for and nothing gave him more joy than growing new patches of grass with each step that he took. He takes pride in his work; making sure that his plant creations are sturdy enough to survive the harshest of winters while also being nutritious and bountiful in the Spring and Summer.
