Sisterhoods of Pelor

The Sisterhood of Eternal Light

The sisterhood’s depictions portray the sun god crossing the sky in a burning chariot of fire drawn by equally fiery horses. Not alone in these images, but with a charioteer as a guide. These images reflect Pelor destroying evil with bolts of sunlight. The image of the sun god in his chariot was (and still is) quite popular in many lands. The charioteer is often the image of a female in these portrayals with a healing hand upon Pelor himself. This image is popular even among adherents of the Old Faith, which sees Pelor as an anthropomorphic manifestation of the Sun itself. In fact, eyewitness accounts of powerful druids summoning flaming chariots drawn by fiery horses are not uncommon; leading some sages to speculate the forms taken by divine magic are influenced by culture as much as by the Divine Powers themselves.

The Sisterhood follows the teachings of the Book of Sol, and the High Mother and its order reports to the Master of Light directly.
