Beln, The Healer
+
God of medicine, compassion, and charity. Beln seeks to preserve life and ease
suffering wherever possible. He is the patron of healers and charitable causes.
Hospitals will often display a golden sphere above doorways in an attempt to
invoke his blessing for those seeking aid within. He is usually depicted in
healers' robes, bearing a staff stopped with a cloth-wrapped golden sphere. His
clerics have been instrumental in helping with the influx of refugees entering
Altheria, and are generally regarded with respect even by those outside their
faith. The miraculous power to heal is said to be one of his miracles, but more
often it is the ability to ease physical pain that has been most evident among
his clerics since the Blight.
