Chapter 1: Campaigns in tal'Dorei 15the ChangeBringer
Alignment: Chaotic Good • Domains: Trickery, Nature
Also known as “She Who Makes the Path,” the Change-
bringer champions freedom, travel, trade, and adventure
across the lands. Her will heralds open frontiers, and her
call beckons her followers to discover that which awaits
them beyond the known. This nature leads to few temples
in direct civilization dedicated to the Changebringer, but
they often can be found off the beaten path and near roads
well traveled. Her worship is common among merchants,
free spirits, and adventurers, with tavern cheers calling to
her honor as a bringer of luck and fortune.
She is often depicted as a young woman of dark com-
plexion and long, light brown hair that cascades to form
the road left behind her. Most art shows her in constant
motion, trailblazing and ever leading into the unknown.
The Changebringer’s holy day is New Dawn, and takes
place the first day of the first month, when the old year
gives way to the new. In Emon, the day of New Dawn is
celebrated with a grand midnight feast that commonly
features a short play that celebrates the changes of the
past year.Comm andments of the Ch angebringer- Luck favors the bold. Your fate is your own to grasp, and to
do so is to have the Changebringer behind you. - Change is inevitable. The righteous can ensure that such
change is for the better. - Rise against tyranny. Fight for the freedom of your-
self and others when you can, and inspire others to fight
when you cannot.
the Dawnfather
Alignment: Neutral Good • Domains: Life, Light
The Dawnfather stands lord over sun and summer, his
vigil encircling the ages as the keeper of time. Lord of
agriculture and harbinger of the harvest, his followers
commonly include farmers and most common folk, his
priests welcome in lands all over. Supporter of the needy
and destroyer of evil, the Dawnfather is often the patronto Paladins and Rangers who follow a similar creed. The
Dawnfather is also known for his defeat of the Chained
Oblivion, and is revered by those who hunt aberrations.
Tapestries of old match early text describing the Dawn-
father as a patronly figure in silver and gold armor, his
head a beacon of light and fire so bright that a face could
rarely be seen within. Many statues in holy places treat
the head as a brazier, lit with each dawn and extinguished
with the dusk.
The Dawnfather’s holy day is called Highsummer, and
takes place on the fifteenth day of the seventh month.
In Emon, the entire week is celebrated with gift-giving
and feasting. Festivities begin on Highsummer day and
end at midnight on the twenty-first, the day that Zan
Tal’Dorei dethroned Trist Drassig at the Battle of the
Umbra Hills. In Whitestone, the feast of Highsummer is
instead a festival of lights around the Sun Tree; gift-giving
is traditional, but the recent Briarwood occupation and
the subsequent recovery means money is thin. Most folk
choose to spend Highsummer with their family, recount-
ing the small things they are thankful for.Comm andments of the daw nfather- Be ever vigilant for evil. People are quick to forget the les-
sons of the past. - Help relieve the suffering of the innocent wherever it exists.
- Deliver the light of the Dawnfather where darkness dwells,
with kindness, compassion, and mercy.
the everlight
Alignment: Neutral Good • Domains: Life, Light
Goddess of compassion and redemption, her message is
one of understanding and optimism in even the darkest
of places. She believes the corrupt can be redeemed, a
mindset that led to a betrayal by the Lord of the Hells
that left most of her following destroyed in the Calam-
ity. Only recently has her faith been rediscovered, and
her temples returned to prominence. The Everlight’s
followers are often rural healers and community philoso-
phers, becoming a voice of reason and empathy in angry
and cynical times.the arCheart
