Sura

Sura is the goddess of the sun, and the first god to be added into the cardinal pantheon.

History
Sura developed in the searing desert region of Parthus Reach. The godess was once two entities, the god of fire and the god of the oasis. The god of fire was a wrathful deity who punished mortals for their arrogance. The god of the oasis was the source of the well spring, the first oasis. When the fire god became conjoined to the oasis deity, they became Sura, the sun god. The desert cooled, and greenery began to grow in the cooler regions.

Relationships
A substantial relationship with Rogal, the god of agriculture.

Appearance
Has several depictions; a woman wrapped in sunlight, a two headed woman, one a serpent and the other a phoenix, and a woman half moon and half sun.

Servants
Servants are golden birds.

Church
Grand churches are constructed in high places, or flat open fields in which they can garner the most sunlight. They are often constructions made with many openings or glass surfaces to catch the light, and polished silver serve as mirrors.

Worshipers
Mainly farmers and Healers.

Clergy
Clerics and paladins who praise the sun, and heal the wounded. Their purpose is relatively simple and straightforward.
