Pelor

Sun Father

Known as Sol by the ancient races, he is the king of the gods and the slayer of the Titan king Korim. Worshipped by everyone from farmers and druids, to priests and doctors. Pelor is a force of life itself. he is often depicted as an older man with wild golden hair and beard, dressed in robes of shining white.
He rules over everything the light touches and the light touches all... eventually.

Relationships

Among the other gods, Pelor is allied most closely with Tymora, rumoured to have once had a romance with the goddess of good fortune and very closely allied with Turgon as well. Pelor opposes all evil deities and his followers avoid neutral deities with teachings counter to Pelor's. Pelor particularly loathes Lolth, having played a role in the Dark Goddess's imprisonment.

Worshippers

Pelor is a popular deity, much-beloved by the commonfolk. He is particularly revered in the human lands of Eblesh and Ufaria. Although Pelor's church has a few heresies and schisms, the head priests of his powerful temples are in contact with one another and with the religion’s overall leadership. If the secular leaders of one nation place an onerous tax on Pelor’s temples, word will spread through Pelor’s hierarchy. Other nations might be persuaded by their Pelorians to apply diplomatic pressure to get the tax repealed.
There is also a supposed undead cult of Pelor worshippers that revere him as a god of destruction and bronzed bods. These undead are unhappy with their curse, and they seek bronzed skin and the destruction of all the undead.

Temple

Pelor's temples are tall, with large windows; many are stained-glass cathedrals. They are arranged so that the sun shines into most of the rooms during the day, and many feature large courtyards. They tend to be airy and blindingly white. Temple trappings are typically yellow or gold. They are always kept clean. Many Pelorian temples have hospital wings.
