Hlal

Hlal is the dragon deity of humour. She takes the form of a mercury dragon. She delights in wordplay and sophisticated humour but baser humour, usually pranks and tricks, prove irresistible to her sensibilities, especially if the victim of the trick takes it seriously. Myth tells of Hlal playing a particularly elaborate practical joke on Null; Hlal has barely managed to stay one step ahead of the angry Deathwyrm since.

Worshipers
Hlal is venerated by some copper dragons and faerie dragons who appreciate and identify with this god's sense of humour. These two species don't worship Hlal alone, however, unless they devote their entire lives to jokes.

Avachel
Avachel (or Aasterinian) is a male aspect of Hlal who is worshipped by the elves, especially wild elves. Also known as Quicksilver due to his chosen form of a mercury dragon, he is the close companion of Erevan Ilesere.

Elven myth states that he was a mercury dragon who underwent apotheosis after saving a band of wild elves from an invasion by evil humans, while others speak of an avatar of Hlal that came to aid Erevan in a similar situation. Avachel is Erevan's equal in his ability to get into trouble but is a tireless defender of the elves and while impulsive, is good-natured. He is known for sending avatars to Evermeet and woodland regions in the form of an elf armed only with a staff that sends even elves to sleep or simply as a normal mercury dragon. Regardless, this aspect of Hlal means that the draconic goddess is a close ally of the Seldarine.
