☀️ Pelor

God of the Sun, Healing, Agriculture, and Sustaining Life

Pelor represents life that endures, not heroics or glory. His light is the warmth that keeps people alive through hardship rather than the fire that burns away evil. Where other gods call for judgment or sacrifice, Pelor teaches care, consistency, and compassion.
