This is a work in progress.

Symbol: A sun circled by trees. Often symbolized with a single standing stone in a grove. As a badge it is a sun disc or symbol of Pelor surrounded by a wreath.
Background, Goals, and Dreams: A combination church of Pelor and druid lodge, the Sun Lodge is dedicated to the well-being of the City of Sasserine and to maintaining the city in harmony with nature and nearby tribes. Supported by the Knowlern family and the church of Pelor in the city, the center of the lodge is in Standing Stone Park in the Sunrise district, tough there are numerous other holy sites in the area.
Enemies and Allies: The Sun Lodge opposes irresponsible farming and logging and tries to make sure the concerns of the natives are taken seriously. Still, druids who find the city expands too fast and despoils the wilderness disdain the lodge as too soft, and expansive capitalists find them an obstacle to progress. Despite their otherwise humble demeanor, the Sun Lodge values gold jewelry and ornamentation, this makes them seem richer than they are and makes them the victims of thieves.
Secrets: There is a natural conflict between druidic and clerical members of the lodge, which the lodge exists to bridge. Several times in its history the lodge has been very close to breaking apart. The current paladin-priest of Pelor has alienated some of the more radically chaotic members.
Classes: Favors clerics and druids, but everyone is welcome. The lodge sponsors the Evangelist prestige class.
Type: Temple
Scale: 8, City, outliers, and nearby area.
Capital: 8. Gp limit 18,800. Assets 150,400.
Affiliation Score Criteria: Almost anyone is welcomed at services, but regular membership requires either devotion or charitable work.
