Sigel, Scourge of Darkness

After Hela’s rebellious act, Sigel, the god of light, led the fight against the darkness she had unleashed into the world. However, it appears he has vanished, and Scaetha now leads the fight in his absence.
Before the Blizzard War, Sigel’s Hearth (the common name for the sun) shone brilliantly, a glowing orb that warmed the Hearthlands. Since that day, the sun has grown steadily weaker, and its radiance has dimmed as if something had placed a veil over the burning eye. Sigel’s clerics have noticed a reduction in their power, especially in the frozen wastes.
Sigel is represented as a man with a circle, representing the eternal sun, around his head. He holds a sword in his right hand. A flame, the light of purity, rises from his left palm.
Shrines to Sigel exist in most Hearthland settlements, and usually take the form of a large sundial. In some communities, Maera and Sigel are worshipped jointly, with a sun- and moondial marking the shrine. Temples are found only in large towns, and are always spacious and brilliantly lit. They are often lavishly decorated with gold, the god’s chosen metal, and paladins are housed in large numbers to deter thieves.
With the clergy of Scaetha engaged in a war against the undead threat, Sigel’s priests and paladins now focus on preventing the expansion of the Hellfrost. Many of his priests work closely with the Hearth Knights, either as healers and spiritual guides, or as mercenaries.
