In many D&D settings, '''Pelor''' ("PAY-lor"), often known as the '''Dawnfather''', is a [[Neutral Good]] god of the sun, harvest, agriculture, and summer, as well as a keeper of time. | |||
Pelor has a presence in many worlds. In [[Greyhawk]], he is a core member of the [[Flan pantheon]], and is also known among the Baklunish people as '''Al'Asran''' and among the Oeridians as '''Sol'''. The god '''Palador''' of [[Aerois]] is probably Pelor. He's also worshiped in the Nentir Vale and Exandria. Some sages go as far as to equate him with '''[[Lathander]]''' and '''[[Amaunator]]''' of [[Faerûn]]. | |||
Pelor was one of the powers who took down [[Tharizdun]]. | |||
