Origin

Sources characterize Angharradh as a member of the Seldarine— the elven pantheon of the Forgotten Realms— and explicitly describe her as a single greater deity who 'contains within her the three separate goddesses.' Rather than providing a detailed cosmogonic myth in the supplied material, the sources present her theological identity as a unity of three aspects (the 'Triune Goddess', 'the One and Three', or 'the Union of Three') within elven divine tradition and list her among other members of the Seldarine such as Corellon Larethian and Deep Sashelas.

Appearance

The provided sources do not give a consistent canonical physical description. Fictional usage and descriptive phrases in the material emphasize maternal and threefold imagery: a planewalker entry and fiction refer to her as the Triune Goddess and 'the elven personification of the Mother of All,' and references to statuary and a threefold symbol appear in lists and iconographic mentions. Beyond these hints—maternal personification, statues, and a threefold motif—no standardized garments, physiognomy, or full iconography are supplied in the provided excerpts.

Abilities

The supplied sources do not enumerate specific supernatural powers, mechanical domains, or miracle lists for Angharradh. They consistently present her theological role: a greater elven deity embodying three goddesses in one and associated with motherhood, union, and triadic unity. Narrative material shows clerics of Angharradh performing prayer and tending that produce restorative effects (for example, a Planewalker vignette describes a cleric of Angharradh who, through prayers and tending, brought a sleeper out of her slumber), indicating that worshipers and clergy manifest divine effect in fiction, but precise canonical abilities or rites are not provided in the available sources.

Acheron is a mythological river of the Ancient Greek Underworld, portrayed in classical literature as a boundary or entrance to Hades across which the dead are conveyed.
