Elu Verion was the mythical founder and of the House of Verion, as well as an Elfinshi leader and general. He was allegedly born around 500 AN in the Elfinshi Forest and lived for almost a thousand years before his self-chosen death in 1440. It is thought that the Elu Verion go back to the Elfish rule in Menelmacar.

There is some debate amongst scholars about whether the Elu Verion was the title, whether earned or inherited, amongst the Elfinshi accorded to their foremost war-leader in the struggles against the Cimmerians and latterly against the Shirerithians. These figures merged in the lore of the Elfinshi and the descendants of the Verion line into the figure of Atar Rä, or the father of the people who would have been the last of the Elu Verion. The attestation that the House of Verion descends from the last of these Elu Verion is generally accepted by historians, and a documented family tree showcases the descend of the Verion family from this time.

The ashes of the last Elu are buried underneath a bronze statue of the Patriarch outside Verion Hall, on the isle of Blackstone. The main sports stadium of the island, the Elu Verion Arena, was named in honour of the Elu.
