	One event in which Lathander had a major part in, was the '''Dawn Cataclysm''', a hazy entry in the history of the Realms that very few people know anything about but was considered a catastrophe second only to the [[Time of Troubles]]. What is known for sure is that Lathander somehow got the idea that the gods of Faerûn ~~neeeded~~ to be more like him, and so he tried to alter the gods to his liking. The failed attempt directly resulted in the death of '''Murdane''', Goddess of pragmatism, and [[Helm\|Helm's]] lover, which made Helm very angry at Lathander. Several other deities supposedly died during this event along with several "powerful outsiders", and possibly heralded the end of '''Myth Drannor''' in the mortal world, though few details are given.

	It is suspected that the Dawn Cataclysm coincided with number of other key events, such as the splitting of [[Tyche]]: Goddess of Luck. Tyche was an early interloper to Faerun from the Greek pantheon. In the realms she became a companion of Lathander and the two became lovers, though the whimsical lady luck eventually grew bored with him and left. She later found a rose that she thought Lathander had gifted to her as a romantic gesture and kept it, though it eventually turned out to have been a cursed trap lain by [[Moander]]: God of Rot. The eventual corruption of the goddess of luck forced the other deities to slay her, after which he corpse split into the twin goddesses [[Tymora]] and [[Beshaba]]. Another conflict that was believed to have occurred during the Dawn Cataclysm were the battles between [[Azuth]] and [[Savras]], where Savras became imprisoned in a scepter for millennia and Azuth was elevated to divine status.

However, the story doesn't end there. Radical priests within Lathander's own church believed that Amaunator never died at all, that he simply became a different god to adapt to a different climate. Though Amaunator was "officially" declared dead and incapable of answering prayers or empowering diving magic, a few people still believed in him. Though they were considered harmless [[Heresy\|heretics]] by the mainstream church of the sun god.

However, during the events of the [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition\|Spellplague]] Lathander went "SURPRISE!"

			One event in which Lathander had a major part in, was the '''Dawn Cataclysm''', a hazy entry in the history of the Realms that very few people know anything about but was considered a catastrophe second only to the [[Time of Troubles]]. What is known for sure is that Lathander somehow got the idea that the gods of Faerûn neeeded to be more like him, and so he tried to alter the gods to his liking. The failed attempt directly resulted in the death of '''Murdane''', Goddess of pragmatism, and [[Helm\|Helm's]] lover, which made Helm very angry at Lathander. Several other deities supposedly died during this event along with several "powerful outsiders", and possibly heralded the end of '''Myth Drannor''' in the mortal world, though few details are given.

			It is suspected that the Dawn Cataclysm coincided with number of other key events, such as the splitting of [[Tyche]]: Goddess of Luck. Tyche was an early interloper to Faerun from the Greek pantheon. In the realms she became a companion of Lathander and the two became lovers, though the whimsical lady luck eventually grew bored with him and left. She later found a rose that she thought Lathander had gifted to her as a romantic gesture and kept it, though it eventually turned out to have been a cursed trap lain by [[Moander]]: God of Rot. The eventual corruption of the goddess of luck forced the other deities to slay her, after which he corpse split into the twin goddesses [[Tymora]] and [[Beshaba]]. Another conflict that was believed to have occurred during the Dawn Cataclysm were the battles between [[Azuth]] and [[Savras]], where Savras became imprisoned in a scepter for millennia and Azuth was elevated to divine status.

			Of course it is difficult to say how much Lathander was to blame for the whole series of events, the rest of the Pantheon were certainly wary of him and try to keep him from endangering the status quo. For his part, Lathander believes that [[Shar]] somehow had a part to play in the Dawn Cataclysm and seeks to try it all over again, but do it better the second time around.

			Lathander is close to the mother goddess [[Chauntea]], where they have an on-off romantic relationship. Presumably breaking up whenever Lathander proposes something obviously [[Stupid Good]]. She ''(along with [[Oghma]] and [[Lliira]])'' knows of his attempts to replicate his previous experiment but are cautious enough to let him try because they know that evil needs to be conquered once and for all.
