New Deity

Luthaerius Aelaraeluin

Pushing against the frontiers of what is known, worshipers of this elven deity are most often found engaged in their studies, classrooms and workshops or out charting the cosmos.  Fierce rivalries and steadfast alliances coexist between various chapters and sects in their efforts to both gain and demonstrate the greatest level of understanding and mastery in various arts, trades or subjects.  From both conflict and collaboration, his faithful produce a steady supply of proposals for various projects and endeavors and deliver them to the proper authority in the land.  Divine spellcasters of Luthaerius Aelaraeluin pray for and prepare their spells at noon, when the sun is at its zenith.
