In front of you is an altar rich with offerings of art and craft - sheets of paper that contain prayers, or mayhaps poetry, jewelry, portraits, landscape paintings... even money, from the less creatively-inclined. Without a doubt, whatever power this shrine is dedicated to is the 'most popular' in the All-Faiths Hall. Little wonder that Lolth detests the sun so vehemently when she could only dream of having such a committed, adoring faith.
As for who this bizarre deity is, you make the grave mistake of asking the faithful around you, who are more than eager to answer your question. Lathander, or 'the Morninglord' as they know him, is allegedly the stalwart, ebullient god of dawn. Not merely the rising of the sun, mind you - but of new ideas, new hopes, new lives... even a new beginning. They are quick to extol the virtues of optimism and perseverance, going as far as encouraging you to embark on your own journey of renewal.
Whatever you make of this, it is perchance a bit strange to offer respect to male power, albeit less intimidating than trying to appease a goddess.
