Morninglord Morninglords , formerly known as morninglords of Lathander , are a priestly order of Faerûn . The morninglords of Amaunator and his aspect Lathander are among the Sun Lord ' s most elite priest s . They are dedicated to heal , advise , protect people and destroy the undead . Very often they are travelling preachers who bring the glory of the sun in all dark places of the world and increase people ' s respect of their church . Culture . Morninglords were initially known as the Morninglords of Lathander , reflecting their devotion to Lathander , at the time believed a god rather than his true form , an aspect of the Netherese greater god Amaunator . Since the Spellplague the truth has been revealed but the effects of Amaunator ' s time as Lathander have left their mark , both on the god and his followers . In addition to the Sunmaster s who have devoted themselves since the beginning to Lathander as Amaunator , the Morninglords continue to venerate their god as they always have , carrying on the traditions of their god ' s " youth . " More than Sunmasters , Morninglords draw on the optimistic spirit of Amaunator ' s Lathander aspect . Fervent in their faith and in their works , Morninglords seek to spread the light of Lathander throughout the world , bringing hope to the dark corners of Toril . To their enemies Morninglords are a visage of fiery doom , bringing the searing light of Lathander ' s wrath with them , as well as his merciful and soothing blessings . Abilities . As priests of Amaunator and Lathander , Morninglords acquire their abilities through divine grace , channeling their god ' s power through a holy symbol . These abilities can , just like the radiance of their god , be both benevolent as well as violent . Naturally , since their god ' s sphere of influence is the sun and all things related to it , Morninglords are adept very early on at wielding radiant power , dealing light - based damage that becomes more potent the greater their force of personality . With greater training Morninglords learn how to make their foes more vulnerable to these attacks , making their attacks even more deadly . Morninglords are also amongst the most zealous of priests , their fervor allowing them an extraordinary degree of precision in their strikes . The prayer s of a Morninglord are often based around focusing the light of their god into deadly attacks as well . The " pure glow " prayer , for instance , allows a Morninglord to literally become a beacon of their god ' s brilliance , emitting deadly glows of light that burn their foes . Some Morninglords also learn to focus this so far as allow them to see in darkness or protect themselves from undead , an ability sometimes called the " aura of radiance " . However , not all prayers of the Morninglords are deadly , and the " rising sun " prayer focuses this divine light into a force for healing , soothing the wounds and spirits of friends and allies . There are several rites known also to Morninglords , many of which , when performed under certain methods , also give a boon to the priests of the sun gods . The Blessing of Dawn is a rite performed by some Morninglords from dawn until noon , which boosts their spirits . Likewise , the Rejuvenation of the Morn is a rite performed once a tenday , during which a Morninglord spends an extra hour praying to Amaunator or Lathander before sunrise . As soon as the sun rises , they are cured of their ills and restored to full health , any injuries they suffer being ridden from them .
