Solaran
Often interpreted as the sun by those who pay him little heed Solaran exists in all fire as the light that shines out the darkness. High Elves often worship him as their primary god if not the Everwatcher and consider him to a powerful being of pure good. Those who commune with Solaran have power over fire and light sending fear into those that hide in the dark or reek of undeath.
Solaran appears as a flame with his speech resonating from all illuminated parts of a room. He can appear to those that summon him but often only does so when they are in dire need of him. Outside Liadon many consider Solaran and the Everwatcher to be the same due to Solaran being present in any illuminated place. Worship of Solaran began during the warring era with the Radiant Knights of Liadon championing his cause against evil and darkness.

Funeral Rights
Worshipers of Solaran favour cremation upon their death. They are mummified in cotton bandages and placed upon a pyre with their belongings placed on each layers to reflect the different stages of their lives. Taller and grander pyres depict lives well lived whilst smaller ones may suggest modesty or a life cut short. The Prayer Infernus is read and the closest kin are granted the honour of lighting the pyre. If the deceased was married with a living spouse a pouch of the ashes are often taken and placed in a vial for them to keep with them until their own passing to ensure the pair may unite together in the Firelands.

Solaran appears differently dependent on the manner of his need. In a common summoning Solaran can appear as no more than a small flame atop a candle that speaks and shifts as if tickled by wind.
