As Celestian (q.v.) wanders the starroads, his elder brother, Fharlanghn, roams the four corners of the world. He is, in fact, regarded as the god of travel and distance. Fharlanghn sometimes enters the Elemental Plane of Earth, but he seldom enters that of Air and shuns those of Fire and Water. He can travel to any inner plane, however.
Fharlanghn, Dweller on the Horizon, appears to be a middle-sized man, with brown, leathery skin, creased by many wrinkles. His bright green eyes belie his seeming age. Fharlanghn's movements seem slow and measured, but he actually moves quickly—especially with regard to actual travel. Fharlanghn will converse readily, although he is not loquacious. He favors clothing of plain stuff such as leather and unbleached linen.
The priesthood of Fharlanghn is of two sorts, the urban and the pastoral. The former wear brown robes and generally are found in small chapels in communi-ties. Those of the pastoral order wear green robes and minister by traveling the highways and byways, occasionally stopping at wayside shrines to Fharlanghn.
Worshippers of Fharlanghn are most active in the Central and Southwest regions of the Flanaess. Followers of this deity are typically adventurers, merchants, itinerants, and the like. Services are often conducted outdoors, under the sunny sky.
