Editing Pelor (section)

==Pelor, the Burning Hate==
There is another theory going around about the popularity of Pelor amongst humans. A long time ago there was a deity named [[Zarus]]. He was supposedly the god of Humanity, in the same way that [[Moradin]] is the god of the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]]. Zarus differed from the other gods-of-PC-races in that he wasn't Good, or even Neutral. He was a [[Emperor|Lawful Evil deity who taught that humans were superior to all other species that lived on the world, and only by subjugation to humanity should they be allowed a continued existence]].

Why Zarus disappeared is lost in time. What is not lost though is that in [[3.5e]], there were a number of cases of Pelor's followers using evil-aligned divine power (which should be impossible, since divine power from a good deity cannot generate power for evil spells), and many of Pelor's artifacts employ large-scale destruction, instead of the expected helping of the weak.

This is pure speculation though, and there is no conclusive evidence. But still, one should be careful when dealing with the guardian of time.
