Church of the Sunlord

Mythology & Lore

The Sunlord is the lord of the sun and summer. 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 Sunlord is often the patron to Paladins and Rangers who follow a similar creed. The Sunlord is also known for his defeat of the Shadow, and is revered by those who hunt aberrations.
Tapestries of old match early text describing the Sunlord 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.
The Sunlord's holy day is called Summer's Heat, and takes place on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. In Krennica, the entire week is celebrated with gift-giving and feasting. Festivities begin on Summer's Heat day and end at midnight on the twenty-first, the day the Mythic Council ended the Valaxxi War. Most folk choose to spend Summer's Heat with their family, recounting the small things they are thankful for.
