Rellia

Rellia, the Phoenix Goddess, carries the Sun in her talons across the sky to herald in the dawn and usher in the night. She is a Neutral Good goddess, and her favored weapon is the greatsword. Clerics of Rellia can choose from the Sun, Good, Healing, Protection, Glory, Exorcism, Pride, or Purification domains.

=Church= Rellia's faithful prefer churches where they are well illuminated by the rising sun. Each church bears an altar where an eternal flame is kept burning by attendants (the duties of tending to the flame are considered sacred, so magic is not used). Prayers to Rellia are given by placing both palms together above one's head and opening one's hands to accept the light of the sun. Her followers sometimes keep brightly-colored birds as pets and treat them with care. Her priesthood prefers loose, revealing clothing which exposes much of the body to the sun, and they consider a rich tan a thing of beauty.

=Teachings= Rellia preaches the value of caring for those hurt and lost, and encourages her faithful to purge the world of both sickness and corruption. Her teachings include the truth that some things are eternal and unchanging, and that there is always hope despite the greatest darkness.
