Theina is the goddess and embodiment of light. She appears as a featureless humanoid radiating light from all surfaces. Together with her consort Laurits god of life they rule Ancarnabrosia, a pocket domain within the silver heaven. She is considered one of the elder gods. It is not certain when the first priests arrived here or where. She is often confused with Gryoczogias, as he is hailed as “The Light”, however the two are not the same. Followers of Gryoczogias will on occasion enter Theina temples to pray, but no services to him have ever been performed in any Theina temple.
Specialty clerics glow with Theina’s light, this is a soft white light that will light up an area of about 5 feet from the cleric and grants a +5 bonus to the clerics caster level to dispel magical darkness. If a darkness spell is cast within 5 feet of the cleric the darkness is automatically dispelled. The cleric also gains the Dispel Darkness spell which can be cast at each level as a free spell. A specialty cleric can turn undead as if one level higher and gains a +2 attack and damage bonus verses creatures that are harmed by light.
Specialty clerics can cast the light spell at will, gains access to a single use per day of the daylight spell at 4th level (this is in addition to any domain spells) and has access to the (Choose 2) Good, Fire, Healing or Sun domains.
The clerics wear yellowish-white robes with a sunburst on the chest. In armor they wear a breastplate over the robes with the same symbol. Clerics tend to use a ball style mace and round shield in combat. The ball mace is generally plated in gold and glows in a soft gold light.
Theina’s temples can be seen for miles and identified by a pillar of light that descends out of the sky, through a open window in the roof of the temple and onto the temples alter. The interiors are made of polished marble and well lit as to display no shadows inside the temple.
Spells
Dispel Darkness I-IX

| Range | 20ft +10ft per level |

Description: This spell will remove the effects of any magical darkness spell so long as the caster can beat the DC of the opposing spellcaster. As an example, a 10th level wizard cast darkness. The DC for the spell will be 10 + caster Level + spell Level or (10+10+2) or a DC 22. The cleric must role a d20+caster level + level of the dispel darkness spell (for dispelling darkness the cleric gains a +5 to caster level). So, with our above example a 5th level cleric using Dispel Darkness III would roll a d20+5+5+3 verses a DC 22. Multiple spells by multiple casters will need to be determined individually. This is a free spell and may be cast once at each level for free.
