Lathander is/was the main god of the Sun in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. While he is one of the most significant gods of the setting, his status is in a bit of uncertainty. He is probably the reborn aspect of a much older god of the Sun: Amaunator (see below) but unusually for divine aspects, the two deities have quite varied goals and portfolios.
Lathander is probably also Pelor from the core setting, though probably a younger, more handsome version of Pelor.

Amaunator is the original God of the sun in the Forgotten Realms setting.
He was quite widely worshipped, though was seen as quite a harsh deity, in contrast to the compassionate Lathander. Amaunator's creed was a strict adherence to the Law, to the point that he supposedly only for the portfolio of Time due to a punctuation mistake which said that he would be "Amaunator shall be responsible for all time. The misrepresentations of his followers". So yeah... he's a classic RAW abuser using in order to gain more power.
However, faith in him practically came to a sudden end when the nation of Netheril collapsed along with the near entirety of his worshippers and so he died a slow death of neglect, like some forgotten pensioner in a care home. Amaunator's corpse was said to be a Astral shipping hazard and he was replaced by a new, younger and more vibrant sun god who was more down with the kids.
