Sorac - Lord of the Skies
One of The Four
Gameplay:
Followers of The Old Gods have the most diverse set of beliefs and gods on the Sword Coast. As such all religious classes (clerics, paladins, and druids) are open to them. Listed below, in order of importance, are the most important deities in the pantheon, but there are too many to list. You may choose one of them as your character’s deity, or you may design your character’s deity and religion. If you wish to play as a follower of The Old Gods, work with your DM to design your character’s beliefs and the nature of the religion and the god(s) she serves.
A Note to Players:

Temples to Sorac are abundant in agricultural areas; in farming villages of all races. He is also often incorporated as the supreme kami of the skies in The Way of The Spirits. Since most of his temples are in pastoral regions they are modest, yet abundant.Characterization
