Eton, The Daystar

 + 
God of daytime and hard work, he is the sun that crosses the sky, shining down
upon Aelandris. Eton nourishes the plants, blesses the crops, and illuminates
the farms and gardens of those who keep a small shrine for him. It is tradition
to give an offering of turnips during planting season and again during the
harvest, though any local fruit or vegetable will do. Eton is depicted either as
the sun itself, or as an eagle radiating light, flying high, and keeping watch.
His radiant Sun Clerics are known to harness his power, to blaze away darkness,
or those they perceive as casting shadow upon the world. But more often, they
are called upon to enhance the growth of crops and other greenery, able to coax
lush growth from even the most light-starved plant. His followers value work and
productivity for its own sake, and the dedication and discipline that it
involves. He is often invoked before beginning a job or important project, and
his blessing is sought as a ward against bad weather. Some of his most devout
clerics have been known disperse violent storms, shafts of sunlight searing
through the clouds in some of the most dramatic tales of miracles of any god.
