Zehir

God of darkness, fear, nightmares, and poison.

Zehir is the god of darkness, fear, nightmares, and poison. Son of Pholtus and Astara, brother of Pelor and Sehanine. The three children of the sky agreed to divide up their father's domains after his death. As the eldest child, Zehir picked the darkness of night, believing that having mortals fear his might would bring many followers. However, much to his own resentment and anger, mortal worshipers instead flocked in far greater numbers to Pelor and Sehanine, who, respectively, chose governance over the sun and moon. Zehir opposes his brother Pelor, seeking the undisputed control over the skies.
