Lathander
Morninglord, Commander of Creativity, Inspiration's Dawn, The Rose-and-Gold God, Bringer of the Dawn Lord of Birth and Renewal, Patron to Spring and Eternal Youth, Mentor of Self-Perfection
Lathander, 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.
Lathander was the central figure in the Dawn Cataclysm, an ill-fated attempt by the Morninglord to reshape the Edarmyrnian pantheon in his own image. Several deities were killed in the events that followed, including the goddess Murdane, a death for which Helm never forgave Lathander. The Morninglord believed that his efforts went so wrong because of the interference of agents of Shar, and secretly began working on a second attempt at reforming the pantheon.
In 916, Lathander, enraged with the unchanging, tyrannical, undead-centric philosophy of the Cult of the Dragon, sent an avatar to Barisle to personally do battle with Sammaster during a Huasort'e'ke raid. He destroyed Sammaster but was wounded in the battle.
In 1345, Lathander's worshipers, along with those of Selûne, Shar, and Tempus were involved in religious unrest, culminating in the Night of Temple Fires.
In 1358, Lathander met the Heroes of Waterdeep after they restored one of his sacred statues in Myth Drannor, and requested them to rid his temple there of the Dark God and he offered them help in their quest. In the event that the adventurers recovered the Morning Light, he bestowed them the magic sword Dhauzimmer.
After the events of Fates End, The Overgod saw Lathanders previous attempts to meddle in the position of gods as a threat to the stability of Edarmyrni, and sprea his portfolio amongst the other good gods, mainly to Sune and Selune, while forcing The Morninglord to walk the planet a second time as pennance for his past sins.
Lathander spent much of this time in Averum, spreading his influence. In the year 815, The Overgod believed Lathander to have reformed and reinstated him into the Edarmyrnian Pantheon
Lathander and Chauntea had been romantically connected for centuries, and saw each other as kindred spirits. His allies included Gond, Tymora, Tyr, Torm, Ilmater, Sune, Selûne, Oghma, Kelemvor, and Mielikki. His foes were Cyric, Talos, and Shar. Helm held a great deal of resentment for Lathander, as the latter indirectly caused the death of Helm's lover, Murdane.
