Dela’Dorn; son of Ariel and Bramd. Twin of Lorphen goddess peace. Dela’Dorn is god of righteous vengeance. He gained much of his mother’s views and beliefs toward the world that he helps guide. Unlike his sister and father who try to keep balance between good and evil, he seeks out evil where ever it dwells and destroys it in the name of all that is good. He is the god of paladins uncompromisable in his beliefs. When he is seen amongst mortal men he is a man of above average height and build. Blond hair neatly cut and pulled back from his stern face. He wears silvery white plate armor trimmed in blue, as well as his large white shield with his symbol on it. He is never without his blade “Vengeance” a gift given to him by his mother. She bestowed it onto her son after he single handedly slew the oricish god Arthok after the evil and vile cur made attempt on his mother’s life. As reward Ariel reached into the sky and plucked from it a bolt of lightning. Pure and white it shown as bright as the sun. She bent it and shaped it with her will forming it into a crackling blade of lightning. The bolt since that day has come to be the god’s symbol.
Dogma:
The scriptures and holy text of Dela’Dorn teach that the world was created by the light of the All Father. It its true purpose is to foster goodness and peace. Wickedness and evil are a plague that festers the land and its people and must be fought at all costs. Lines exist everywhere dividing good from evil. These lines of morality once crossed can never be uncrossed. They are the battle lines of the soul. Dela’Dorn like his mother strives to eradicate evil in all its many shifting forms, to bring the world fully back into the light from which it came.
Clergy and Temples:
Paladins and clerics of the god of righteous vengeance are first and foremost warriors against the encroaching darkness. The paladins of Dela’Dorn are divided into seven orders or sects. Each one specializes in the elimination of a specific type of evil. The paladin orders are governed by a council of seven along with the high cleric of the light.
Temples and enclaves of Dela’Dorn can be found throughout most of the lands of Alduras. Though they are found much more frequently in the lands of Gracia. Dela’Dorn and Gracia have special ties to one another as they like him fight daily to defend the world from the surging evil of the south. They are a land and people forged in the battle with darkness.
