Halm Ior: God of Spring and Day. 

Known across the plane as Halm Ior, The Spring King, The Morning Lord, The Sunbright, The Amber Cup, The Starburst, and the Dawn Star.  

Halm Ior is a member of the Ko’Cai, The Gods of Fire, and The Gods of Seasons. 

Holy Books: The Book of Suns. 

Halm Ior is one of the four siblings of the Seasons. He represents Spring and Day. Embodying life, community, and beginnings. 

His Symbol is the Rise– A small star shape placed in the center of his sibling’s symbols.   

The Seasonal Siblings do not maintain divine bodies with the sisters only being truly active during their season. 

Halm Ior shares a Plane with his brother a rotating orb one side is darkness and the other light. Halm Ior’s brilliant side is a small temple like home with three statues, Halm Ior flanked by his sisters raising the great star Siger. Halm Ior can only be found here during the night. 

Halm Ior has no relics. 

Halm Ior is gold and marble carved into the likeness of a tall man, mayhap more a boy. A halo is carved around him tapering up into points. His eyes pale amber bleeding light, and he holds a cup of pure plasma. His hair is sunlight, vines, and wildflowers. 

Halm Ior is prideful, righteous, and too smart for his own good. He refuses to use tricks in his eternal battle with Eshtur Mil and chooses to beat his brother’s night from the sky each morning with refined force. He enjoys the company of his sisters and basks in their praise when given but looks down upon his brother. He grants his divine servants control of light, the means to create source less light, protection from heat, summon sunlight mounts, and help banish fatigue and weariness.  

Halm Ior keeps his temples open only during the Spring, though people worship him in household shrines for productive days, good weather, and the energy to provide for their families. His temples are tall, full of stain glass windows, prisms, and mirrors to cast rainbow brilliance across marble halls. He accepts sacrifices of ice, snow, root vegetables, pickles, and symbols of a fading winter.
