Heler

[HEL-er]

God of Rain, the blue god

  • Orlanthi pantheon
  • Sea Pantheon
  • child of Sramake and Daliath

Heler, the blue god, is Orlanth‘s loyal friend though subordinate to him. He is quite handsome, and at least one tale relates an affair between him and Ernalda, Orlanth’s wife, and another between him and Orlanth.

Heler is occasionally considered a militant deity, but rarely an effective one. His name is a watchword for loyalty among Orlanth worshipers, and to be called “staunch as Heler” is a high compliment. Sheep are sacred to him, and Daga is his eternal foe, ever-defeated by Heler’s magic waters.
