Belenus

Belenus is a Lesser Deity who claims dominion over the Elemental Plane of Fire. He serves in allegiance to the Father, Dagda, in the Pagan pantheon, acting as a conduit of power between the Plane of Fire and Dagda's divinity and strength.
==Description==
The Bright Fire, believed to have once been a great seer, healer, poet and holder of festivities in the age of the fomorians. Said to ride the sun across the sky in a horse-drawn chariot. A purveyor of festivities, parties, healing magics, poetry and music, some claim that Belenus truly is a good aligned god of trickery for his favour of games and splendour.
== Worship ==
Believed to have brought new light to a dark land, Belenus pulls the sun across the skies to the lands of Elysia that had previously been shrouded in darkness, tasked with ridding the land of evil and shadowkind. Once a year, festivities are held across Tosima, with great pyre being lit in honour of life and the Shining God.
Whilst not a god that summons fire from elemental power, but instead draws upon the power of the sun to ignite enemies of land in flames and protect the people from the fires of evil.
It is said that on the hottest day of the year, that would once bring death to the crops and even the people of the lands, as a raging sun burns down upon its people, gasping for water, Belenus would take his Shield of the Eclipse and protect the lands from the sun and source of his power. This great eclipse is a time of year where farmers lay down their tools and give thansk to Belenus and rest for a week until the eclipse is over, drinking and celebrating in the name of Belenus and the Shield of the Eclipse.
