Lathander
The Morning Lord
The Morning Lord is one of the oldest gods, his own faith from one of the man human tribes and originally a lone god. At some point he shifted first becoming Selune's brother, and then fusing with the foreign god of Lathander. He is primarily the god of Light and the Sun, he gives fire and births civilizations and is a protector against night. He is depicted usually as a knight in gold armor holding the sun itself as a shield.
In Edren
In the The Edren Empire faith the Morning Lord first came to Edren to bring back her sister whom he thought was tricked by Myrrine, however with the help of Edra, Selune convinced him of the peoples nobility and the Morning Lord promised to watch over them while riding on his flaming horse along the sky. This earned him his placement in the Dios MajorIn Wallachia
In the myth still popular with people in The Confederation of Wallachia, the Morning Lord is part of a Dualistic conflict, a god constantly at war with his wife the Night Mother. He rides every night to face her and the mother strikes back every evening. They are opposites in all things. Order and Chaos, love and hate, life and death. Even dog and cat. Are divided. Only humans are independent of the two halves of this cosmic battle able to make their choices independent of their birth. All other gods in this faith are an aspect of one half of this cosmic war and mere avatars of the Morning Lord. The Confederation of Wallachia is fundamentally monotheistic. Most other faiths are repressed as the Church of the Morning Lord has become tied with both politics and the Wallachian national identity, the church actively involves itself in the disputes and naming of Wallachia’s Boyars, and even crowns the First Boyar who leads the Doma in the Ozerud.Barovia
In both myths the Morning Lord has an earthly Paradise in a mythic eastern land beyond Mordin’s spine called Barovia. This has historical backing, but no expedition has reported anything beyond more mountains.History
The original Morning Lord came with the first Wallachian or the Wallaks who settled I’m the river valley. There the church was aggressively monotheistic, permeating into the Dusk Elf and Wood Elf populace, though struggling to completely convert the Goliaths. Leading some to believe this is where the sisterhood with Selune comes from.Divine Domains

Tenets of Faith
Though few orders of the Morning Lord are Edren in origin, Paladin and clerics of the Morning Lord are as plentiful as the Boyars of Wallachia. Most notable are the Soldiers of Sunlight, a group of traveling knights, primarily a Paladins of the Devotion Oath. These paladins are aggressive crusaders and honor obsessed. Evil must be hunted down at all cost, and duels to clear honors are common.
Practitioners of the Morning lords faith are to pray in the mornings, follow lawful good lives, and to be buried. Remaining unburied is considered a grave sin. Where this comes from is not clear. In the faith all things are divided into Evil and good, all animals all objects, all feelings. Only humanoids are permitted to be either, and it is our duty to tilt the scales in the cosmic war.
Sainthood is also a major element to the church of the morning lord and Saint Worship is fairly common. In Wallachia Saints tend to act as the outer pantheon.
