The Dawnstars

The Dawnstars are a selection of four heavenly maces created by Moradin for Pelor, as a reward for four of his divine Solar angels freeing one of his most devout worshipers from the pits of Hell. They are exceedingly powerful to the point that only a celestial or high level cleric or paladin to Pelor can wield them, and each one is capable of commanding a different set of powers based on their need.
