Daynelboon

The god of Freedom and patron of Rebels. A minor god for most of existence, he has become more powerful in the last year due to the creation of the Freeborn Republic and dedication of the Changelings to him. Often associated with Malik, god of Justice.

Daynelboon has usually been considered a minor god due to his lack of an associated race. However, at the beginning of 1269 AGF Daynelboon became the god of the changelings. The changelings had previously been simple fey, without any dedicated god. However, Lucius Freeborn, a changeling cleric of Daynelboon and his champion, led a rebellion this past year against the ruling class of changelings. He executed the royal family and took control in a decisive coup. Then, as the year began, he dedicated the souls of all the Changelings to Daynelboon. So now, Daynelboon has an entire race which belongs to him, as well as a country known as the Freeborn Republic, which rose from the previous changeling Kingdom.

Malik and Daynelboon are closely related. They are considered oppositional by some, as Daynelboon is the god of Freedom and Malik of Justice. Malik binds while Daynelboon frees. However, many of the worshipers of both gods have a mutual respect for the other. It is said that the gods themselves need eachother to fulfill their goals. Justice cannot exist without a bit of freedom keeping the ruling class in check. Freedom cannot exist without some rules, keeping some from forcing others. This is why they are often referred to as brothers with sibling rivalry.

Rebels will often find themselves communicating with Daynelboon in some way. He doesn't, or perhaps cannot, influence reality himself, so instead he gives boons to these rebels. Many become clerics, paladins, or even warlocks of Daynelboon and use this power to serve freedom. Other boons such as items, powers, and supernatural insights are given as well.
