Aldarwen
As recounted by Thalyn Oakshade, Wood Elf, and Justice Bringer of The Order of the Valiant Shield
"All Wood Elves are raised on the stories of Aldarwen. Even if we do not follow her after our weaving. I serve Dovaros, but like any Wood Elf, I am a child of Aldarwen. A common tale told in our youth is of Aldarwen's Six Great Beasts."
