Beliefs:
Chætral is a version of Chantrel that followers of The Old Ways have incorporated into their pantheon. However, instead of viewing her as the one true god, followers of The Old Ways view her as one of many dieties. Her way is one of love, compassion, and forgiveness. She teaches that one is delivered from enemies when one makes them friends.Places of worship:
Few temples are dedicated solely to Chætral. Such temples are viewed as heretical sects by The Holy Universal Church of Chantrel and are either assimilated by The Church or put down. Instead, Chætral is incorporated in temples dedicated to multiple deities, often next to Lanal, Goddess of Peace and Harvests.Characterization:
While in The Teachings of Chantrel she has three aspects; the maiden, the mother, and the sacred flame, in the temples of The Old Gods she is portrayed solely as The Maiden with with a crown of light, blue robes with gold embroideries, arms open looking down with compassion upon her children.Worshippers:
Chætral has more followers on The Sword Coast than any other deity. Men and women of every race raise their children with her teachings.Alternate Version:
