Its priests wear robes of pink or scarlet, the higher ranks having them trimmed with ornate ribbons of gold. Clerical Information: Clericy Name: Morninglords Main Temple Location: Clericy Description: Priests of Lathander call themselves the Morninglords, though there are some within the priesthood calling themselves the Dawn Priests. Each priest, regardless of rank or experience level is considered the master of the temple, shrine, or parish he is responsible for. Priests of Lathander dress in bright, long-sleeved robes of yellow, red, and pink. Those priests with their own temples have their robes trimmed with ornately-crafted gold ribbons. A sunburst head-peace, worn toward the back of the head to appear as a rising sun or radiant sun-peacock, completes the ceremonial garb. Adventuring priests usually wear more utiitarian garb, but prefer reds and yellows, to the point of tinting their armor those shades. As may be surmised, most ceremonies of Lathander are held at dawn. Actions taken and contracts agreed to at dawn are considered "blessed" by the god. Funerals are held at dusk, followed by a wake that lasts until dawn. Requirements: Charisma 12, Wisdom 14 Weapons Allowed: All non-edged bludgeoning weapons Armor Allowed: Platemail and shield Magical Items Allowed: same as clerics Clerical Extras: Priests of this order turn undead as if they were 4 levels higher than their listed level, if that undead is affected by direct sunlight. Intelligent undead such as vampires know about Lathander priests and will either avoid direct conflict or act to remove their threat as quickly as possible. At 3rd level these priests may cast Faerie Fire once per day. Priests of Lathander gain a +2 bonus when using the following proficiencies: appraising, artistic ability, juggling, musical instrument, and pottery.
