Morninglory

The realm called Morninglory belongs to Lathander. Its natural beauty is tinted with the colors of dawn-rubies, crimsons, scarlets, yellows, and pinks. A small mountain lake bordered by a meadow ,and a stand of tall timber form Lathander's cathedral here. Sleep spells and similar effects do not function within Lathander's domain, and characters who rest here find themselves fully refreshed in half the usual time.

Character

The endless possibilities of a new day, of unlimited potential, the dreams of a new dawn and a new beginning, and all the creativity and choices a fresh start implies.

Powers

Morninglory is realm of another Torilian power, Lathander, the god of the dawn, spring, vitality, youth, renewal, and creativity. The god's portrayed as either a rose-colored mist with golden eyes or a beautiful golden-skinned youth.
The Morninglord happily shares his realm with another human power, Ushas (LL), the goddess of dawn and compatriot of Savitri and Surya. At night, she drives evil spirits from the air in preparation for an unsullied dawn. She also oversees the passage of the sun across the sky once it has risen.
Berks who insist on portraying the powers with human emotions have the two gods falling in love. Whether it's true or not, it's no dark that the proxies of both've been working more closely together of late, and there's a happy, cozy glow in the air that's uncommon even in chis realm.

Description

A rich, natural land of perpetual dawn, this small realm is full of rubys, crimsons, scarlets, yellows, and pinks - all the colors of the dawn. A small mountain lake is bounded by a small meadow and a stand of tall timber leading back 10 the peaks that border this realm. Morninglory lies near the larger realm of Chauntea.

Principal Towns

There are no towns, only an opulent, dawn-facing grand temple to Lathander, bedecked with all manner of gems, reflective metals, and colored glass, and the numerous small homes of Lathander's many petitioners. Nearby is a smaller though no less opulent temple to Ushas.

Special Conditions

In the realm of Morninglory, the wizard spell sleep automatically fails all the time. Characters who rest here feel refreshed and clear-headed, gaining a +1 to Wisdom rolls for an amount of time equal to the time they spent in the realm.

Principal NPCs

The leading proxy of Lathander and cleric in charge of his temple is Aurora Brightday (Px/♀ human/P 14/NG). Ushas' foremost proxy is Allain Crimson (Px/♂ human/P 13/NG). These two proxies were said to be secretly married not long ago. They divide their time between the two temples. One chant is that Aurora is expecting a child soon.

Services

Beyond the normal needs that most communities can meet, the effects of sleep and cause blindness spells can be removed by either powers' proxies, usually in exchange for a donation of some valuable (a gem, magical item, or other precious object) to the temple, or a mission that the proxy asks the PCs to perform in return.

Current Chant

There's a chant that as the realm is one of the dawning day, one-way gates can be Found within the realm that lead to the planes of darkness and evil. It's through these gates that the powers here hope to bring their light.
