Seven Sisters (Killdeer)

The Seven Sisters are the ancestors of the Aelur, revered as goddesses. The Song of the Seven Sisters is an important part of Aelur lore.

"Oh, the Second Sister was fair of face, 

And the Fourth Sister was full of grace;

The Sixth Sister was full of woe,

And the Fifth Sister had far to go;

The Third Sister was loving and giving,

And the Eldest Sister, she worked for her living;

But the Sister born in the seventh year,

It was she who cost her sisters dear..."

The Seven Sisters were formed over the space of seven years by their Creator. Each had different colours of pelt, hair and eyes, different traits, desires and delights, for he desired that they would never unite against him. But by the time the Eldest Sister was thirteen, they had become a tight-knit group. The Creator taught each of them various skills, and they taught each other, which led, in time, to the discovery of the rest of the Aelur.
