"The Eternal Lantern"
God of Day, Light, Dawn, and the Sun, Scourge of the Undead
"Despite
the forces arrayed against Him, His Light will never cease, for
the light is life and His Light is the strongest of them all."
- The Scrolls of Light
 
The priests of
Lampronus are the sworn enemies of the undead and the minions of
darkness. They dedicate themselves to the banishment of
the evil that lurks in the shadows of the night by bringing all
creatures into the purifying light of day. They preach
that only by walking in Lampronus's light can one save one's soul
from the taints of darkness.
The main weapon of
Lampronus's church is conversion. Each priest must go on a
one-year mission to gain converts and bring them into the flock.
During the darkest hours of the night, the priests act
night-watchmen, patrolling townships and cities with lantern in
hand, pushing back the darkness.
Also Known As: Halling (Chayk),
Gwer (Nerulk), Koszta (Rostok)
Dogma:
Celebrate the new day. Do not go gentle into that good
night; rage against the dying of the light. Protect those
in need from the creatures that prowl the dark. Reclaim
the night. Soothe the sick, as the dawn soothes the
terror-filled night.
