Lightbringers

Fellowship formed to restore the Sun

  • Orlanthi pantheon

Orlanth’s killing of Yelm sparked the beginning of the Great Darkness. Orlanth realized the doom which he had brought to the world, and knew that he must right his wrongs by bringing Yelm back to life. He set off with his companions, later dubbed the Lightbringers, and they entered hell alive. Their quest was successful and, as a result, the world was reborn to its current state.

The Lightbringers are:

  • Orlanth, the King
  • Lhankor Mhy, the Sage
  • Issaries, the Guide
  • Chalana Arroy, the Healer
  • Flesh Man, the terrified mortal
  • Eurmal, the Trickster
  • Ginna Jar, an otherwise unknown entity and the subject of much speculation
