Where to find

• Crèche Y'llek X: 1068 Y: -779: On a locked altar in the Secret Chamber

Notes

• The version of  Sunbeam granted by this item does not allow recasting on subsequent turns.
• The Lathander's Blessing passive does not activate if the wielder is not in the active party. For example, a companion who is left at camp and receives damage via  Warding Bond which reduces their hit points to 0 does not cause this effect to trigger.
• The Lathander's Light passive has the following additional qualities:
  • It enables effects that require the target be illuminated, such as applying the damage from the Callous Glow Ring.
  • It does count as sunlight for the purpose of triggering  Sunlight Hypersensitivity but does not for  Sunlight Sensitivity.
  • It applies to neutral characters (including neutral Undead), potentially making them hostile.
• Within the game files, this item has multiple variations with different names, but same functionality:
  • UUID: 96a35552-0c05-4df0-9974-2a8f142e4be6 (Blood of Lathander). This version of the item has a quote unlike the ingame version, which may have been intended for the usable version: The large chunk of amber set into the handle of this luminous mace supposedly holds four drops of godly blood, fallen to the earth in a battle between an avatar of Lathander and a maddened Chosen of Mystra.
  • UUID: 7b961f08-46c1-46b1-99bc-c59283831a0b (Dawngrip Mace). This is the current usable variant.
