Pelor
The Dawnfather
Pelor is the god of light, life and the harvest in the Astorian Pantheon. He supports those in need and opposes all that is evil. He is the deity most commonly worshiped by ordinary humans and his priests are well received wherever they go. Paladins and Rangers are found among his worshipers. Pelor shines the light of hope into all hearts that accept his benevolent message. His followers express hope not just for a kinder future but for good harvests from their just labors. Pelor's hope is the faith that the sun will rise, that winter will end, and that compassion will flourish.
The sun's influence and brilliance are obvious to all, acting as a daily reminder of Pelor's power and beneficence. The sun is the light of growth and renewal. It is warmth in winter and ensures good harvest come the fall. Pelor extends its light to all just as he hopes his followers extend their compassion to all. The sun also peels back the veil of night, and Pelor's followers see in that a metaphor for the Light they must bring to shadowy deeds and dark hearts. Pelor rules from his Palace of the Dawn on Amoria, the first layer of the Outer Plane of Elysium.
When Pelor chooses to appear before his followers, he takes the humanoid form of a man with a white cloak over a set of intricate golden plate armor. Where a head would be, instead, there is a burning star. An almost featureless male head burns within the corona.
