Temple of Lathander

Location: Northern part of Hillbrooke Date built: 1180 DR

The Temple was founded by Loren Brightsun, companion to Darack Stoutheart, first Lord of Hillbrooke. Loren served as high priest until his death in 1205. Since then, a Brightsun has served as high priest of the Temple. To this day, the Brightsun family has remained close friends of the Stouthearts.

Due to their worship of Lathander, the people of Hillbrooke are a thoughtful people, making no hasty decisions, but carefully weighing the consequences. They also believe in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth; consequently, they are also a forgiving people. They believe everyone is deserving of a second chance. They share Lathander's hatred of undead and watch the graveyard carefully. On more than one occasion a deceased Hillbrookian has risen from their eternal slumber. Rather than destroy the undead body outright, the priests recite prayers to Lathander that return the dead body back to rest.
