Pelor
Pelor, the Dawnfather, is a deity of light and healing. He fought alongside Bahamut during The Calamity to defeat Tiamat, and his worship persists in the present day.
Role in the Calamity
During The Calamity, Pelor joined forces with Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, to strike down Tiamat, the Dragon Queen. Their combined might split Tiamat’s soul in two. One fragment was cast into Avernus, where it was later forged into five powerful rings and scattered across continents as a safeguard.
Worship
Pelor’s faith endures among the people of Akothis. Most notably:
- Elara Oakhart, the mother of Korin, was a devout worshipper of Pelor. She was devoted to both her family’s farm and the local temple of Pelor in a village near Nicodranas. She was among the first to fall when Laudna Briarwood’s plague struck the village.
