Amaunator X

Amaunator
Amaunator was the Netherese solar deity of order, the sun, law, and time. He was viewed as a harsh but fair deity, revered by many rulers, soldiers, and powerful wizards in ancient Netheril.
It was eventually claimed, following the Spellplague, that Lathander, the Faerûnian god of the sun, was an aspect of the long-dormant Amaunator. By the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, Amaunator was worshiped both as Lathander and by his own name.
Amaunator's avatar, whose skin shed golden light, looked like a lanky, silver-white haired, and short man with a white tenday growth of beard clad in a long, flowing, black or purple gown with silver or gold trims, the uniform of a magistrate. He always equipped himself with two tools: a scepter and a legal tome in each hand. The former was the scepter of the eternal sun, which doubled as his melee-weapon.

Personality
The Bedine believed in an entity called At'ar the Merciless. She was thought to be a spiteful woman who enjoyed an adulterous relationship. This woman was the result of stories about Amaunator becoming warped over time to the point of the entity becoming unrecognizable. The real Amaunator was a cautious god who did not just try to write down everything to be certain about it, but made sure to go through the pain of contracting, signing, sealing, and notarizing everything as well, a trait similar to the Celestial Bureaucracy.
Amaunator was viewed as a stern and unforgiving deity dedicated to law and order above all else. Though not concerned with balanced natural order like Silvanus, he instead advocated for kept promises, contracts, and even that political order be kept among the gods.
Amaunator shall be responsible for all time. Any misrepresentations of his or his followers, If so deemed the fault of Amaunator.

Amaunator the god of time.
Amaunator tended to ignore the spirit of the law in favor of the letter of it. From time to time, he was invoked as the god of time. The reason for this was that a mispunctuation in a legal paper with another god allowed him to consider himself the god of time. That said, during the time of Netheril, he did not actually act as one, because he did not want to be on Mystryl's bad side, the actual goddess of time, albeit an unofficial one.
His adherence to law was such that he knowingly did nothing to stop the fall of Netheril because he lacked contractual power to do so.
After his return, he gained the memory as a youthful deity and maintained this perspective as something valuable enough to urge his followers to do too.

Abilities
Amaunator's sight allowed him to discern whether someone was a thief or lawbreaker with a glance as well as invisible creatures and objects. He could also use his eyes to shoot flame strike or sunray every minute.
The Keeper of the Eternal Sun held sway over the sun. This gave him a plethora of protective abilities. He was completely immune to light, fire, and heat-based attacks while enjoying complete immunity to illusions, phantasms, cold-based, shadow-based, and darkness-based spells as well as any fear or other emotion-controlling magic.
The Yellow God was capable of dispersing magical darkness either with a touch or, as long as said darkness was within 120 yards (111 meters), with a thought. Another effect his touch created was the instant destruction of a touched undead who were affected by sunlight. Every 2 hours, he could fill an area of 10 miles (16 kilometers) diameter for up to an hour with sunlight.
When fighting, Amaunator's avatar used his scepter, the scepter of the eternal sun, in physical combat, but only when heavily provoked into one.
Amaunator could grant his Chosens the ability to shed searing light from allies who drew from their inner resources to invigorate themselves.

Manifestations
While male pronouns were used to describe Amaunator, he appeared fairly often in the form of a woman clad in a flowing, opalescent dress with an image of a balance of practically see-through gold on it. When this manifestation appeared to a person, this person could determine whether he stood in favor or disfavor of the god by looking at the scale. If it scaled to the left, he could be sure to spend the next seven years in poverty, debt, and servitude while losing his fortune. If the scale tilted to the right, the recipient of the manifestation could expect himself good fortune in the material sense. If the scales were balanced, the recipient was receiving an invitation to become enter Amaunator's clergy.
Another manifestation of his were thirteen giant hyenas. These were sent by the Yellow God to punish people who deserved such or to avenge people who did not have the ability to do it themselves. When these hyenas appeared the offender was killed by them and the body was ripped apart to cover 1 acre (4047 square meters).
Favored animals of Amaunator were tan dogs, cream-colored cats, pure white wolves, birds of prey, especially sunfalcons and white stallions, which were sent to show his favor or disfavor. The Keeper of the Eternal Sun's favored monsters were, emerald dragons, sapphire dragons, steel dragons, golems, and takos. His favored minerals were topaz and any red-colored gem. His favored plants were yellow-eyed daisies, sunflowers, and golden lilies.

Possessions
Amaunator's avatar wore a magistrate's uniform and held in each hand a legal tome and a scepter, the scepter of the eternal sun.
He once owned an oak staff with astral diamonds at the base and a sun-shaped one on the head that was worth 23,000 gp.

Divine Realm
Amaunator's divine realm, the Keep of the Eternal Sun used to be on Mechanus. He lost with the fall of Netheril enough followers to die of neglect. His death robbed his ability to maintain his divine realm and his corpse was ejected to the Astral Plane.
Once he came back to life, he created the astral dominion Eternal Sun and lived there with Siamorphe and Waukeen.

Activities
Amaunator preached that people needed to follow laws to the letter. The reason for this was the belief that laws were the foundation on which any society was built on and disrespecting law would inevitably cause the collapse of any society. The same adherence was also extended to traditions.
The Yellow God's also taught that people had to familiarize themselves with law to get an understanding how to act in a proper manner that saved them from getting punished. He also wanted people to be organized individuals who met their commitments and were always on time.
His message also extended to hierarchies mortals made for themselves. The Keeper of the Eternal Sun told his followers to adhere to their superiors. The idea behind it was that faithful service would yield them rewards while failure to do so punishment. That said, people were told to keep tabs on their superiors' decisions. This was to increase the number of precedents to draw from and help to standardize rulings and with it the relevance of Amaunator's message.

Relationships
Amaunator was the judge over the Pantheon Contour in the Netherese pantheon. He was named the god of time on the basis of a mispunctuation. He never acted on this claim for he did not want to be on bad footing with Mystryl who was the goddess of time in practice.
After returning, he was served by Siamorphe as his exarch and lived with Waukeen on his astral domain Eternal Sun.
Apparently, he found Sune attractive.

History

Before Karsus's Folly
Amaunator was a greater deity during the days of ancient Netheril. He was the one who judged over the Pantheon Contour, an agreement between deities.

After Karsus's Folly
When Netheril fell, Amaunator's worshiper-base shrunk to Netheril's lower and middle class. These people abandoned his faith for they believed that he knowingly did nothing to stop the disaster. They were correct about it. The reason why the Yellow God did nothing was because he had no legal basis to do so. Per divine contract, magic was Mystryl's domain on which he had no right to infringe upon. With his worshiper-base gone, his faith continued to shrink over the time. He dropped from greater deity-status to lesser deity-status and from there to dead power-status over a millenniu
