Araleth (Arra-leth)

Overview

Son of Allir and twin brother of Deep Sashelas. Araleth, called the Prince of Stars and the Twilight Rider, was a minor elven god of light, particularly twilight and starlight. He was also considered a god of the sun and stars in elven culture.

Portfolio and Responsibilities

He is a god whose portfolio includes light, starlight, twilight, and power. Araleth's followers could be found among all non-evil elves, though those in his clergy were also non-lawful. He was specifically a favorite of elf adventurers due to his proactive encouragement to fight against evil, and his clergy worked with those of other priesthoods in their attempts to eliminate it just as Araleth cooperated with the Seldarine to do so. Araleth took an aggressive stance towards combating evil, and encouraged elves to combat any evil creatures. This applied especially to darkness-loving creature, the drow being a prime example, and he frowned upon the unneeded usage of darkness spells.

Example Paladin Codes

As a dedicated servant of Araleth, the Prince of Stars and the Twilight Rider, I solemnly vow:

• In the darkest of times and the bleakest of circumstances, I will shine as the beacon of hope. Like the twilight that heralds the end of day and the coming of night, I will be the steadfast balance between hope and despair.
• will actively pursue and combat the forces of darkness, ensuring they find no foothold in our realms. Especially against creatures that thrive in the shadows, I will stand undeterred, and I promise to act with caution when wielding the power of darkness.
• The drow and other darkness-loving creatures are but examples of what I stand against. I vow to be ever vigilant, ensuring that the night's embrace does not turn into a stranglehold.
• Recognizing that no light shines as bright as when combined with others, I will collaborate with the followers of the Seldarine and other forces of good. Together, we are the bulwark against encroaching evil.
