Pelor

He Endures
The god Pelor is one of the oldest and most powerful of the gods. His teaching is of charity, modesty and perseverance. If Kord is the god of physical strength, Pelor is the god of spiritual strength. The strength of will, and hope that none can surpass. His domains are the light of the sun, power of time, season of summer, agriculture and satisfaction of a honest hard days work.

His symbol is the glowing sun with 6 rays of light.

He is one of the most commonly worshiped gods of all. Humans and halflings from all walks of life look to him for hope, or in thanks. Elves and Dwarfs are less common, but by no means rare. His temples can be found in almost every town and most villages.

He is one of the three gods worshiped by the Church of Hestavar, named after the divine city in Elysium where Pelor rules with Erathis and Ioun. The holy order of the Lightbringers follow his creed, and they defend the lands of peace by bringing the fight to evil. Though of the three holy orders, they are the quickest to be merciful and kind to those who seek redemption.

He is less well known as one of the gods of The Old Faith, one of the few that were part of the original agreement between the divine powers and the primal spirits. Many Druids and Wardens look to him as the path to keeping balance by lifting up those in need, and bringing down those who would do evil.
