Elyan the White

Elyan the White is a human knight of Arthurian legend attested in the medieval prose romances of the Lancelot‑Grail (Vulgate) and Post‑Vulgate cycles (and in the Prose Tristan). He is presented as the son of Bors the Younger, a member of the Round Table, a loyal kinsman of Lancelot, and a martial participant in episodes such as the rescue of Guinevere and Lancelot's exile; one Vulgate strand prophesies he will become Emperor of Constantinople.

Elymus

Elymus is primarily a botanical genus of perennial grasses (family Poaceae) whose species include wild ryes and quackgrasses; the name also appears in classical mythic reference as a personal name (the purported ancestor of the Elymians and as a man slain by Gorge). The available sources treat Elymus as a taxonomic label and a mythic personal name, not as a defined supernatural being within a living folk cosmology.

Elyon

Elyon (ʻElyōn, עֶלְיוֹן) is an ancient Northwest Semitic divine title/name meaning “the Upper/Most High.” In Israelite and neighboring Levantine texts it functions variably as an epithet of the God of Israel, as a high deity in regional treaty and mythic lists, and as a theological/poetic term emphasizing divine supremacy and cosmic height.

Emain Ablach

A mythical island paradise in Irish mythology, associated with Manannán Mac Lir and said to be an idyllic landscape filled with swans and yews. (Note: * Power tier: Reduce to Greater (Primordial implies a cosmic entity, Ancient implies deity-level, which may be excessive for an island paradise) * Origin story: Clarify that it's associated with Manan)

Emathion

Emathion is an onomastic figure in Greek and Roman literature: a name applied to several mortal personages of the heroic age (kings, courtiers, princes, and companions) rather than to a single supernatural being. Occurrences include a king of Aethiopia/Arabia killed by Heracles, a king of Samothrace who sent troops to Dionysus, an aged Ethiopian courtier slain in the Perseus–Phineus brawl, and a companion of Aeneas recorded in the Aeneid.

Emela-ntouka

A cryptozoological animal from Central African tradition, feared for its deadly capabilities. (Note: 1. Power tier: Based on its name and association with elephants, it's likely a Greater entity, not Lesser. 2. Abilities: The source doesn't describe its powers beyond being an "elephant killer", imply)

Emeth / אמת

Two distinct but lexically related referents: (1) Emeth is a human Calormene officer in C. S. Lewis's novel The Last Battle whose sincere devotion leads Aslan to accept him; (2) אמת (Emeth, Hebrew for "truth") appears in a version of the golem legend as the written animating word placed on a clay figure's forehead, removal of whose initial letter deactivates the creature.

Emma Frost

Emma Frost is a fictional human mutant character from American comic books published by Marvel Comics, depicted as a high-level telepath who can transform into an organic diamond form. Introduced in 1980, she has appeared as both antagonist (notably the Hellfire Club's "White Queen") and later as a central member and leader of the X-Men.

Emperor Ku

A legendary mytho-historical sage-sovereign in early Chinese tradition, presented as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and counted in many lists among the culture-hero rulers (commonly one of the Five Emperors). He is credited with ordering ritual musical technologies, instituting court ceremonial practice, and founding lineages that later legitimated dynasties.

Emperor Shun

Emperor Shun (舜), also called Di Shun or Yu Shun, is a legendary sage-king in early Chinese tradition, counted among the Five Emperors. Sources portray him as a moral exemplar whose filial piety, modesty, ritual offerings, and administrative reforms model ideal rulership and the ordering of society.

Emperor Yao (堯)

Emperor Yao is a legendary sage-king of early Chinese tradition, counted among the Five Emperors. He is famed as a moral exemplar who confronted the Great Flood, instituted calendrical/astronomical officials, and—by traditional accounts—selected Shun as his successor after testing his virtue.

Emperor Zhi (帝挚 / 帝摯, Dì Zhì)

A quasi‑historical prehistoric sovereign in classical Chinese chronicle tradition, recorded as a son of Emperor Ku who reigned poorly for nine years before being deposed and succeeded by his younger half‑brother Yao. Treated by later historiographers as a negative exemplar in dynastic moral narratives rather than a supernatural being.
