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 topped with a cloth-wrapped golden sphere.
Though their power waned, his clerics were instrumental in helping with the
influx of refugees entering Altheria, and were generally regarded with respect
even by those outside their faith. The miraculous power to heal was said to be
one of his miracles, but more often it was the ability to ease physical pain
that had been most evident among his former miracles.
