The Giver, Ligavo

Ligavo, The Giver, god of life, is responsible for mainting the cycle of life and the life essence along with The Taker, Dekatia. The Giver is responsible for giving each new living organism its bit of life essence and without him, no new life could come into being. Life and the preservation of life are his primary portfolio items. The Giver created the Positive Energy Plane with The Shining One, Sepal.

Clerics of The Giver are encouraged to avoid spells and actions that injure or deal damage, and a cleric who too frequently uses violence as a means to solve problems can expect to be admonished by The Giver. In fact, The Giver will refuse to grant powerful damaging spells or spells that have the potential to kill unless the need is great. But The Giver is an understanding deity, and he knows that sometimes violence is the only solution and will not punish clerics who commit acts of violence as long as non-violent methods were pursued, or at the very least contemplated.
