'''Elidinis''' is the [[Menaphite]] Goddess of Fertility and Growth, and the [[River Elid]]. She is also the wife of [[Tumeken]] and the mother of [[Icthlarin]] and [[Amascut]]. She plays a key part of the quest [[Spirits of the Elid]]. She seems to be based on the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis. She is described by [[Senliten]] as "The water that gives life and soothes".<br />
<br />
Elidinis is not worshipped by many and those who do are mainly from the desert. The centre of her worship is the town of [[Nardah]]. In Nardah, there is a shrine to Elidinis ([[Elidinis Statuette]]), provided by the god herself to Nardarine, a refugee of the God Wars, who went on to found and lead Nardah. She is one of the minor Gods that make up the Menaphite Pantheon and is the wife of their leader Tumeken. You will assist her followers in the quest [[Spirits of the Elid]].<br />

===The Legend of Elidinis===<br />
On a very hot day during the Third Age, a woman named [[Nardarine]] escaped the fighting of the forces between [[Saradomin]] and [[Zamorak]] by venturing into the harsh desert, with no water. Nardarine cried out to [[Saradomin]] for help, but she was in the area of the Menaphite Pantheon and so [[Saradomin]] couldn't reach her. However, Elidinis heard her and asked her a question; would she worship Elidinis if Elidinis helped her?<br />
<br />
[[Nardarine]] accepted and took an oath to Elidinis who then created the [[River Elid]]. [[Nardarine]] drank from the water of the Elid and Elidinis gave her food. To thank Elidinis for her generosity, Nardarine built a city near the Elid which she named [[Nardah]] after herself, and anyone who came to live in that city needed to take the oath of loyalty to Elidinis.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Elidinis represents the river goddess in Egyptian Mythology, Nepthys.<br />
*In Latin, Elido means to dash to pieces. Elid + inis = Elidinis. However, the deity actually does quite the opposite of destroy.<br />
*It should be pointed out that Elidinis' sign is very similar to the Zodiac symbol of [[Aquarius]].<br />
*Unlike real mythology, Elidinis (Nephthys) and [[Tumeken]] (Ra) are married.<br />
