Alor the Allfather, the Great Progenitor, the Master of Creation, is the god of light, life, time, and creation. His Song of Creation gave life to Runera during the Making of the World, and fathered ten new [[Gods|gods]] known as his Left and Right Hands. Alor was slain by the Black Prince Balcorion during [[Coalescence]], leaving only his Bones to sustain the dwindling light of the world. While Alor has been dead for over a millennia, those blessed with the [[Magic|Greater Gift]] are still able to summon His blinding light, which the [[Hand of Alor|Hand]] teaches comes from the Bones of his godly form. Alor is commonly depicted as a golden right hand, but in times past he was heralded by a left and right hand bound together in a gentle clasp. - **Other Names:** The Allfather, Woden, Auoin, Áedryth Aen Athair, Perun - **Related Activities:** Slaying undead and daemons; embarking upon crusades; bringing light to crypts, caves, and other dark places; defending the weak and the vulnerable.
