Aside from being one of the Three Bad Men (along with Herkool and Kodig), there is no other mention. It could well be a variant of Yelmalio/Elmal, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goose Hill story (Esrolia LoTTG) does sound a bit like the Hill of Gold legend, but obviously isn't, as it is the Goose Goddess Isbarn/Imarja who claims it by virtue rather than force. Apparently Herkool was a trickster, Kodig was a King of the Vingkotlings. Interestingly Kodig is also called Terliol which means Blessed of Ter, and his father's name was Tereen or Chosen of Ter. If so then Elaliol would likely be the Blessed of "Ela". So who is Ela? Likely short for some deity. Possibilities would include Elmal or Elasa (The Goddess of Wisdom, and therefore making Elaliol a Lhankor Mhy type). This is just a guess. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you note, the "liol" ending is "blessed of", which leaves us with "Ela" or "El-". Since Elasa likely means "Light of Knowledge", "El-" would then represent "Light", whether Yelmalio/Elmal, Yu-elm, etc. As Elaliol is one of the Three Bad MEN, that would likely exclude Elasa. Overall it seems a quarrel between the Husband-Protectors. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(JK) I see Elaliol could quite possibly be a tribal law speaker who is making a possibly spurious claim on Goose Hill by custom and law, by twisting words and logic. The usual legal form of casuistry that wins cases regardless of the morality of doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
