LATHANDER

God of Birth and Renewal

DnD Beyond Forgotten Realms

Description: Lathander (pronounced: lah-THÆN-der), whose title was The Morninglord, was a deity of creativity, dawn, renewal, birth, athletics, spring, self-perfection, vitality and youth. He favored those who dispelled the undead and blessed those who planted new life. Lathander was also the god called upon to bless birth and fertility related ceremonies.
Personality: Lathander and CHAUNTEA had been romantically connected for centuries, and saw each other as kindred spirits. HELM held a great deal of resentment for Lathander, as the latter indirectly caused the death of HELM's lover.
Following: Novices in the Lathanderian faith were called the Awakened, while clerics were known as Dawnbringers. The full priests took a new name in his service when they were ready to signify that Lathander personally recognized and accepted them. This new name could either be used instead of their old name or simply used only when addressing other Dawnbringers and when in solitary prayer. Other titles included (in ascending order): Dawngreeter, Dawnlord, High Dawnlord, and Dawnmaster, while an elite cleric was referred to as a Morninglord. All followers were required to be of neutral to good alignment.
