Pelor [Greater Power]:
Pelor
is the great Sun God, regarded as the Creator of much of what is good
- a Power of strength, light, and healing. Pelor flies on a great ki-rin,
summons flights of eagles, and casts down dark evils with bolts of brilliant
sunlight.
The nature of Pelor's reverence has changed subtly during and since the wars and is still changing. His old aspect of a peaceful, gentle god concerned for the suffering is eclipsed by his more martial aspect as a wrathful Power who drives out the darkness of evil. This is parallel to the cult of Mayaheine, his servitor, a much more martial deity. As strengthener and healer, Pelor brings vitality to those beset by evil, and many warriors now turn to his faith.
Services to Pelor involve hymn singing, communal prayer, and the dispensing of alms to the needy (and the collection of same from the well-to-do).
Pelor's Priests:
Pelor's priests have always worked for the poor and sick, bringing healing, food, and aid to them. Their reverence has not changed as swiftly as that of commonfolk. They remain quiet, kindly people for the most part, but with some steel as protection.
