God of the sun and healing, Calvirian is the keeper of time. He supports those in need and opposes all that is evil. As the lord of the healing, his priests and clerics are most commonly found among soldiers, adventurers, and crusaders. He is the son of Vandra and Faotim, and brother to Luto.

Dogma
Kindness and compassion are the best of virtues, and if evil can be redeemed, it should be. There is some evil, however, than can not be shown the light, and when you face it, stamp it out with all your might. Give mercy to those who come to you for aid. Watch every sunrise. Heal your allies and keep them strong. Above all, do good for all and fight evil with your entire being.

Clergy and Temples
A large portion of Calvirian's priests are composed of clerics, but within their ranks are also paladins and rangers, as well as a few druids and bards. Some priests work as personal retainers or healers for the wealthy, while others survive on assistance from congregational worshipers. A common form of worship by priests is to awaken with the dawn and give thanks and praise to the rising sun.

The temples of the Morninglord are open-air buildings. Priests often travel from one temple to the next. Church services are held outdoors and are joyous affairs that feature singing, dancing, and music.
