Role: Zandaron is the Master of the element of earth. He is the prince of earth-based creatures. Zandaron resides deep within his realm of earth, but he is also concerned with the world of mortals. He brings forth new life from the ground with every coming of spring. To a lesser extent, he is the patron deity of all burrowing animals. Priests: Zandaron's priests are always good, though they may reside with neutrality, law or chaos. They hold a deep reverence for the earth, and all creatures which live within it. Priests of Zandaron walk the lands of Kaladia, bringing prayers of hope during the winter months, and songs of rejoicing in the spring. They prefer the cool, grassy lands of spring to the confines of a building, and seem to find equal enjoyment in caves and plains. They do tend to retreat into their temples during the winter months, but will venture forth should the need or desire arise. Zandaron's priests are often heartily welcomed, particularily in rural communities. Temples: Places of worship to the Earth Lord are found throughout most good lands. Chapels and shrines abound in cities, towns and small communities, as well as in the open countryside. Zandaron welcomes any and all of good heart, and his temples reflect this attitude. Most are large complexes, with many windows open to the outdoors. Large temples are usually not located in cities or towns, but are usually established nearby.
