Lathander favours those who dispel the undead and aid others. He blesses
those who plant new life. Many followers of Lathander work in various
creative arts such as music, painting, entertaining, and the creation of
works of fine art. Lathander is also the god called upon to bless birth
and fertility related ceremonies.
Lathander's dogma is filled with stories of optimism and perseverance.
It is important to feel good about an upcoming event or else it will
naturally go awry through negative thinking. Favourite sayings of
Lathander include: "From death, life", "There is always another morning",
and "In the dawn, beauty reigns, and the way is clearer". Far more
importance is placed on acting in the service of Lathander by helping,
encouraging, and aiding than in strict adherence to rituals, rules,
and the dictates of superior clergy.
The church of Lathander sponsors the Order of the Aster, an order of
paladins and fighters.
