Pelor, The Father of the Dawn

Pelor (a.k.a. The Father of the Dawn)

The Father of the Dawn stands lord over sun and summer, his vigil encircling the ages as the keeper of time. Lord of agriculture and harbinger of the harvest, his followers commonly include farmers and most common folk, his priests welcome in lands all over. Supporter of the needy and destroyer of evil, the Father of the Dawn is often the patron to Paladins and Rangers who follow a similar creed. The Father of the Dawn is also known for his defeat of The Chained Oblivion, and is revered by those who hunt aberrations. Tapestries of old match early text describing the Father of the Dawn as a patronly figure in silver and gold armor, his head a beacon of light and fire so bright that a face could rarely be seen within. Many statues in holy places treat the head as a brazier, lit with each dawn and extinguished with the dusk.
