Overview

Apollo is the god of healing and medicine. While one might mistake his domain as overlapping with No'vel, his domain is focused on repairing things to their previous state, while No'vel is focused on creating something new out of destruction. In the spirit of The Feywild's eternal youthfulness, Apollo puts their gifts towards keeping themselves and their followers young and healthy, removing even the trace of a scar.

Appearance

Apollo is depicted as a young man holding a wooden staff, often dressed in doctors or healer's garb.

Holy Symbol

Many who worship Apollo utilize staffs as their spell foci, or bear the symbol upon their persons, typically in wood or leather.

Influences

Apollo desires preservation, seeking ultimately to defy death and find a way to cure or prevent The Curse of Immortality, although he has never succeeded.

Apollo was once quite close to their twin, Artemis. Their relationship was put to the test, however, when Artemis cut Apollo down, fearing he was beginning to succumb to The Curse of Immortality. Apollo is yet to forgive her for ruining his chance to reach a state of perfect preservation.
