"Apollo Delian, come to my succor! Apollo Pythian, aid me against my foes! Apollo Phoebus, I call on the might of the shining sun!"

[ Type                   : ] god
[ Portfolio              : ] the sun, civilization
[ Disposition            : ] cautious
[ Offerings Desired      : ] literature

   composition]] skill, 10% of stringed instruments skill, 10% of wind instruments skill and
   10% of singing skill
[ General Information    : ] Apollo, being essentially a god of civilization, is generally
  less than amenable to invocation by ELF members, but his own worshippers can use their
  particular status to call upon him in their ELF capacity, and other exceptions have been
  made for individuals of particularly notable capabilities.  Apollo provides a number of
  different services, including illumination, healing, the bringing down of the fury of the
  sun in battle, and a particularly valuable lending of his knowledge together with a bit
  of psyche-enhancing power.

You examine Apollo through your clear glass lens of analysis:

   This is Apollo, god of the sun and lord of light.  He exudes a radiant beauty that outshines the light of the sun itself.  He 
wears a toga of purest white, and a wreath of laurel leaves.  A sense of inner peace radiates from him.  He has a few thin wisps of 
surging radiance and a webwork of sparkling light within and around him.  He looks about nineteen dimins tall, five and nine tenths 
dimins wide, and one and nine twentieths dimins front to back.  He is in good shape and is giving off light.

   After a moment, the knowledge that Apollo is composed of sixty-two percent flesh, nineteen percent blood, six percent skin, six 
percent bone, two percent hair, two percent brains, one percent nerves, one percent melancholic bile, one percent choleric bile, 
one percent phlegm, and less than one percent eye drifts into your mind like a long-forgotten memory.

Leolla here!

Apollo is one of the king daddy invocations.

He'll show you to how to do ALL SORTS OF THINGS when you invoke him.

I've often considered joining the Appollonian association just to squeeze more benefit out of this one. Really.

Update! Further research has indicated you can't join Apollo and then team up with Eris. Boo-hoo =/

Maybe the other way around, though.

• Apollo only heals you if you're out of battle. Otherwise, you end up with a cool light/fire attack (and maybe bleed to death in the process.) Also has a significant cooldown period -- on the plus side though, you won't get thrashed by Apollo for invoking Him too often (unlike some other gods.) -- Porphyra
