Description

Orin's avatar almost always appears as a tall man in shimmering gold robes. He has been known to appear as animals, usually birds (especially eagles). Animal forms will be physically perfect and often have golden eyes.

When his avatar strikes someone with the staff that he always carries when in human form, the person is permanently blinded by an intense burst of light. This blindness can only be removed by a priest of a good diety of at least 9th level. Any weapon striking the avatar of less than +2 enchantment is absorbed by the gold robes. The avatar can cast spells relating to light at will, in addition to other actions during the round.

Temples

Temples of Orin are usually refuges for the wounded. However, there are also temples as guardians nearby to strong sources of evil, especially undead.
