Pelor, god of Life and Healing (PAY - lore)
Pelor is the great Sun God, a source of life, healing, warmth, well-being and strength. Pelor is an excessively powerful deity, entirely devoted to the cause of Good, and who is indifferent to the quarrels between Law and Chaos, as long as Good prevails. Pelor represents, above all, the beneficent energy of the sun, bringing warmth and comfort, nourishing plants, and banishing darkness. Even if closely associated with it, Pelor is NOT the personification of the sun itself. He is the one who controls its course in the sky and the energy it radiates, protecting the light from the forces that want to impose darkness. As such, Pelor is known to roam the surface of Iolen and feared by all those who hide underground.
Pelor's dogma is far reaching and his message is broad. He is not a crusader, not a deity of nature, or a god of magick. Because of this he is often worshiped alongside deities with a similar portfolio, but rarely an evil-aligned one. As god of the sun, Pelor is also a god of light but he competes in this area with Heironeous, Istus, and other deities, especially when this light is not of solar origin.
Pelor is also a god of strength, not in the purely physical sense of the term but also and above all in the spiritual sense: strength of life, strength of will and hope, strength of face adversity and stand against Evil. Worship of Pelor is large on Iolen, sometimes under different names.
Refresh and gladden our spirits. Purify our hearts. Illumine our powers. We lay our hope in Pelor's hands.
