In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Lendor is the Suel god of Time, Tedium, Patience, and Study. Lendor was created by Lenard Lakofka.
Lendor is regarded as the leader and progenitor of the Suel pantheon. Few details are available in canon sources on his specific relationship to various deities, but it is known that he is the father of Phaulkon and grandfather of Kord. In fact, Lendor is the only known deity who can soothe his grandson's legendary rages.
Lendor is a distant deity, seeming to care little for the affairs of the world. He considers himself superior to other deities, especially his children. He has the ability to banish or undo the magic of any his brood.

[edit] Description
Lendor is depicted as a husky older man with flowing hair and a long beard of white. He wields a flaming sword named Afterglow.
[edit] Myths and legends
Lendor is said to have started the flow of time at the birth of the universe with a single blow from Afterglow.
[edit] Clergy and temples
Lendor's holy symbol is a crescent moon superimposed upon a full moon surrounded by stars. Though the exact number of stars varies, it is usually fourteen.
Lendor has few young priests, and many regard his this dearth of new blood as a sign that his faith is in decline. His priest tend to be village elders, record-keepers, sages, and the like. The vast majority of the priesthood tends toward a cloistered lifestyle, spending little time outside their temples, libraries, or universities. The few adventuring or traveling members of Lendor's faith tend to be its younger members. Lendor's priests tend to arm themselves with greatswords and piercing or slashing weapons.
