Sarenrae, the Everlight
The light is strongest in the deepest darkness. The world is in need of hope; and if we hide that light from it, it will not shine. The Dawnflower, Sarenrae, is the Goddess of Atonement, Compassion, and Mercy and while her habitation of the Island of Renewal resides amidst the blessed fields of Elysium, she traverses the globe in phoenix-form spreading her tenets to the hearts of all who will hear.

Tenets of Faith
Commandments of Sarenrae:
Lead with mercy, patience, and compassion. Inspire others to unite in fellowship.
Aid those who are without guidance. Heal those who are without hope.
None are beyond redemption; but those that refuse and seek to bring about evil toward others must be purged as with fire.
Holidays
Thanks to the efforts of Sarenrae's first Champion, Bright Star (as well as the other Seekers), a number of significant events have taken place that have become venerated and holy days for the worship of Sarenrae.
The 15th of Harpa is the Anniversary of the Everlight's wedding to the Arch Heart. This is a day worshippers of both Sarenrae and Corellon Larethian set aside for favoring one's partner, especially spouses. Many people elect to get themselves wed in honor of this blessed day.
The other, more minor celebration, is the 26th of Morsag, or day of the Bright Star. This is a day honoring the memory and service of Sarenrae's Champion, Bright Star; for it was on this day that he and the Seekers reclaimed the Everlight's blade Sanctity's Fire from the clutches of Vecna. The 27th of Skarpla, 22 YH (The day Bright Star died), the Everlight placed a star in the firmament, brighter than those around it, and called it the Bright Star. On the 26th Morsag and the 27th of Skarpla, the Bright Star shines even brighter than the rest of the year. Worshippers of the Platinum Dragon revere Bright Star on the 27th of Skarpla, and worshippers of the Everlight revere him on the 26th of Morsag. On the 26th of Morsag, the "Fellows" (name for worshippers of Sarenrae) will make replicas of Sanctity's Fire, and place them at altars and statues of the Everlight in honor of his memory.
