	Although the Morninglord's cult is the most widely spread of the faiths of Barovia, it is still a fairly small presence and regarded with widespread bemusement and/or cynicism; most Barovians are too jaded and miserable as a result of their lot in life. Still, it is is making itself at home both amongst younger Barovians and amongst the assimilated Gundrakites, who show a much stronger interest.

	Firstly, the cult honors those clergy who have founded temples or committed great deeds of sacrifice and bravery; those martyred in service to the cult or its beliefs are canonized as ''chanticleers'''.

	Secondly, the priests of the Morninglord pray at sunrise (what a surprise) and hold brief morning worship services every day of the week. The faithful are encouraged to attend at least once per week, but they're a practical church and understand that the realities of Barovian life often impede the ability to attend the services.

	Finally, whilst each temple often involves itself in local festivals, the cult has its own singular high holy day. Called Nevermore Night, it's held on the winter solstice; a sixteen hour ceremony that battles the night with prayers of hope and haunting ''a cappella'' hymns.

	Native to the [[Ravenloft]] domain of Barovia, though it has spread with some limited effect to other domains along trade-routes, the ~~cult~~ of the Morninglord is one of the most overtly benevolent in the Demiplane of Dread. It was created by [[Sword & Sorcery]] out of fears that legal issues would not allow them to directly refer to deities from other [[Dungeons & Dragons]] settings by name. The Morninglord was created to fill the place that [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] had given to [[Lathander]] worshippers, just as how [[The Lawgiver]] replaced [[Bane]].

	Even the darkest night cannot last forever, Dawn approaches, and you re its herald. You are the emissary of hope, salvation, and surcease. Liberate others from their fear and teach those you cannot release to endure just a little longer. Justice comes to all evildoers eventually, not by man's laws, but by your hand and the torturous path of fate. Lift the spirits of the downtrodden with the good news of the Morninglord's coming. Pledge your protection to the unfortunate whenever the opportunity presents itself, and see your pledge through the end. Destroy the foul undead wherever you find them, for they are the enemies of the dawn.		Even the darkest night cannot last forever, Dawn approaches, and you're its herald.

	What no living member of the church knows is that the sect was inadvertently founded by vampires: the "saint" Martyn Pelkar who founded the Morninglord's church did so after being driven mad by an incident when [[Strahd von Zarovich]] killed his family, but was forced to spare him by [[Jander Sunstar]], a Gold Elf Vampire who had witnessed the hunt. An outlander who had originated in the [[Forgotten Realms]], Martyn blended his half-remembered aspects of Lathander's doctrine with his distorted memories of this salvation, creating a cult that crudely aped his original faith. The depiction of the Morninglord is, in fact, a depiction of Jander Sunstar himself, as he was etched into Martyn's memories when they met.
