Amaunator (pronounced ah-MAWN-ah-tor) 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. When Netheril fell, the common people who were not killed by the fall of the enclaves (the only living worshipers of the deity) largely abandoned Amaunator, believing that he had done nothing to prevent the disaster.

Dogma

Amaunator is a careful and meticulous deity who made certain that every agreement was written down, contracted, signed, sealed, and witnessed. An extremely lawful deity, he followed the letter of the law, not necessarily the spirit of it—unless the spirit was a great deal more to his liking. He expected the same of his followers.

Clergy and Temples

The Brotherhood of the Glorious Sun is a group of sun priests who believe Lathander to secretly be the incarnation of Amaunator. Still others believe he survives as the vengeful Bedine deity known as At’ar the Merciless and yet others assert that he turned his back on Faerûn and entered the pantheon of the lands of Kara-Tur or simply moved on to other planets.
