Pelor

Pelor is the Aelderi God of Light and Justice.

Pelor is an oddity amongst The Great Pantheon. For Pelor alone, the myths and legends state, was once a mortal, ascended to become a deity.

There are many stories behind the ascension of Pelor, with many races and civilizations telling their own version of the tale.

The Elves believe that Pelor was a great hero that fought against the Old Ones in their ancient struggle. For his valour and bravery he ascended to join the Gods.

The Men of Jordgardr know Pelor as Baldr the Brave, and tell that he was a mortal man that stood alone against the Elders when they came to enslave his kingdom. Furthermore, the Northmen tell that Baldr is fated to die, and that his death will signal the end of the Gods.

The oldest non-elder civilization in the world, the Dwarven land of Akhmun, call Pelor Horus. They say that when the evil Set cut Osiris into pieces, Horus the brave, the just, stood alone against him.

The Gnomes know Pelor as Garl Glittergold, the great trickster hero. They say he was a Gnome long ago that tricked the Elders and brought freedom to the gnome race.

For most of their time as slaves of the Elders, the Orcs differed in belief from their masters, instead telling that Pelor had not yet been born, but that he would one day come to Vedar as a great hero, to lead them from slavery. Many Orcs in modern times believe that Pelor was Xandar the Great, the hobgoblin warlord that defeated the High Elves and captured Coroa.
