Daelegoth Orndeir

Daelegoth Orndeir was the leader of the Brotherhood of the Glorious Sun and a believer in the Risen Sun heresy.

Description
Daelegoth Orndeir was a slim 6 ft (1,83 m) tall fire genasi with hair of the color of coal. Fire genasi had one or two physical traits that showed their elemental origin. In Daelegoth's case, the trait were seemingly burning orange veins that entwined his pale skin. He had a very intensive voice that did not just make others aware of him knowing some mythical matters, but was also made them listen to him.

Personality
Daelegoth Orndeir was a believer in the Risen Sun heresy, an idea that did not just claim Lathander to be Amaunator's reincarnation but that the Morninglord's re-transformation into the Yellow God was nigh. He wanted his belief to be the mainstream belief of the church of Lathander and was not above falsifying evidence to justify such a shift.

Abilities
Daelegoth Orndeir was a fully developed sunmaster and evangelist. His clerical spellcasting was honed to masterful degrees. He was initiated in Amaunatori secrets and could convert his spell energy into fire spells. He could also cast epic magic and developed one, Amaunator's eternal sun.

He had access to the Fire, Sun, and Planning domains. His normal roster of spells he prepared were augury, aura of the sun, banishment, bless, calm emotions, clairaudience/clairvoyance, command, commune, consecrate, continual flame, deathwatch, destruction, detect magic, detect poison, detect scrying, detect undead, dictum, discern lies, dispel chaos, divine power, endure elements, enthrall, fire seeds, fire shield, fire storm, flame strike, fortunate fate, freedom of movement, greater command, greater scrying, greater spell immunity, guidance, haste, heat metal, heroes' feast, hold monster, light, magic circle against chaos, miracle, Nchaser's glowing orb, order's wrath, prayer, prismatic sphere, protection from chaos, ray of resurgence, read magic, remove blindness/deafness, righteous might, searing light, shield of law, shield other, status, storm of vengeance, summon monster IX, sun scepter, sunbeam, sunburst, time stop, tongues, true seeing, undeath to death, vision of glory, and zone of truth.

Possessions
Daelegoth Orndeir owned holy symbol of Amaunator made of gold and a shard of the sun and was therefore a relic holder, which made him a great leader for the perceived blessing from his deity. He wore a breastplate of command and the Corona of Amaunator, a helm of brilliance, and armed himself with a +3 flaming burst shadowscourge light mace, called Shadowsmite, and a +2 blinding mithral heavy shield, called Sunshield. He also used other magic items like an elemental gem of fire and various scrolls and potions of low strength.

Activities
Daelegoth Orndeir's activities revolved around gaining influence for his sect. He put his fellow heretics into positions of leadership of the Temple of the Morn, conducted research to locate the shard of the sun, put effort to retrieve it, and made public shows of his clerical powers by causing miracles. He also developed the epic spell Amaunator's eternal sun to create a duplicate sun to falsify evidence of Amauantor's imminent return.

History
Born the only son of Morninglord Hatthala Orndeir, Daelegoth quickly embraced the ideologies of Lathander and rose quickly in the ranks of the church. While investigating the connection between a holy site of Lathander and the legacy of Amaunator, he quickly began to believe that Lathander was Amaunator reborn. This led to his joining of the Brotherhood.

Upon assuming his mother's power and position of archbishop of the Dragon Coast after his mother's death in 1370 DR, Daelegoth began to canonize the Risen Sun heresy within the church of Lathander. This led to a brewing conflict between Daelegoth, the Brotherhood, and the more traditional members of the church of Lathander.
