Each of the sub-races has one as their patron, although temples to all of them will typically be found across the larger settlements of all the sub-races.
Elvish settlements typically have a “Celestial Council”, comprised of the High Priests/Priestesses of each of the gods; the Council is typically chaired by either the most senior member or by the representative of the Patron God/Goddess of that particular subrace of Elves.
