Amaterasu – God and Clerics for D&D 5e

Amaterasu (Intermediate God)

Amaterasu was born when lzanagi washed his left eye after returning from the Land of the Dead. She is the goddess of the sun and rules the Plane of Heaven. Through one of her grandsons, the Imperial family is descended directly from her. In addition to being the goddess of the sun, Amaterasu is the weaver of the gods’ robes. She has the power to light the world (or any part of it) to make plants grow, to cure diseases in men, or to destroy anything she wishes with her brilliance. In her true form, Amaterasu is beautiful woman.

Roleplaying Tips

Amaterasu is the patron goddess of Japan and watches over its welfare carefully. If the land is seriously threatened, she may beseech aid from her fellow gods in order to protect it. She also watches over the Imperial family, and will never aid those who bring harm to one of its members. If the existence of the family itself is threatened, she will not hesitate send her avatar to aid it. Omens from Amaterasu lake the form of solar eclipses.
