The Good
Generally speaking, divine entities that focus on Good encourage their followers to aid others and refrain from wanton violence. Some degree of selflessness is typical. What exactly qualifies as Good is always up for debate. Do I give this person a chance to change their ways? If I save someone who seems innocent now, what happens if they commit evil acts later? Each deity has their own guidance on these and other questions. Methods vary by ethical slant. Lawful Good believes that the best outcomes for the most people are found when working in unison, everyone building and growing in the same direction. Chaotic Good believes that each person's choices should lead them in the best direction, regardless of doctrine or tradition. Or perhaps you find either extreme to be to harsh and just try to help those around you live a better life.

Once heir to the throne of an island nation, her destiny carried her further. Assisted in her ascension by mortal villains and divine heroes, Belinda claimed the role of healer and protector. She asks her followers to work toward the benefit of society above individuals. She actively assists those who heal the sick and injured (see Obedience above). Some of her newer followers have fully embraced her power of healing others to the exclusion of all violent acts except toward the mindless. As Belinda is often portrayed carrying her father’s sword, its clear that bloodshed is sometimes the only way to protect others.
While she does respect the Law, she knows that mortals are fallible and has been known to guide her worshippers to revise unjust laws and resist corrupt officials.

Born for a schism within the church of Faylani's successor. The now forgotten being was divided formed two distinct entities, neither of which were previously mortal. They often clash over coast lines and river deltas but otherwise have no overlap. The Hunter, they have no other name or title, usually appears as an elven female in a checkered coat and armed with a bow. They ask their followers to respect the natural world. Hunting for food is encouraged as is agriculture when done correctly. The Hunter does not harbor (much) ill will toward city dwellers. They understand that is the way of civilization and The Hunter stands ready to aid those who are ready to walk away from it.

In his mortal life, Derune Argus was a follower of Nachi. He ignored his master's growing paranoia and evil ways. Derune actively worked to maintain Nachi's power and convinced him to resist stepping down. When Nachi was destroyed, Derune joined the cult of Dranli and went deep into the earth to become one of the first Duergar. There in the depths he toiled and fought for many years. One day when searching for a new weapon he stumbled into a trap that teleported him to the surface. There, alone in a verdant forest, he remembered why he served Nachi in the first place. The cool soil, the sounds of wildlife, it all came rushing back. He also found an old adventurer's pack and rifle. He made his way back to Boros, traveled the deepest passages to get back the the Duergar, and asked them to come back to the light. He was met with disbelief followed by violence. Derune died in those halls looking for anyone who would go back to the surface with him. He awoke in that same forest surrounded by a handful of those who he had convinced. Faylani intervened in honor her bond to Nachi. She restored him and gave him a new purpose. His kin were lost to the darkness, but many on the surface needed the light too. He was to find them and guide them.
He is often associated with alcohol. Though his followers use it in rituals and revelry, Derune often used it to dull the memories of his past sins and old master.
