The Dawn Flower, goddess of Temperance, Patience, Compassion and Peace. One of the twelve gods of Verein Kirche von Arkhelle. She is a younger god of redeeming light and vengeful flame, whom neither Suithrathus Luirmo nor Vastren has heard of. Born during the Second Intervention, Sarenrae teaches that those who can be redeemed should be guided on the path to salvation—and those who cannot repent their evil should be destroyed without remorse. She is depicted as a beautiful young human woman of bronze skin, with long golden braided hair that crackles with flame and angelic wings of iridescent gold. Her colours are golden yellow, fuschia and azure, and her symbols are a winged ankh, dove or phoenix of warm gold or fiery red. The seat of her church is the Basilica Endeavorant in Hellenhelm.

Vichthart is a priest of Sarenrae, usually preaching and guiding his parishioners in his small home village in Arkhelle. He wears a pendant of Sarenrae around his neck, along with his Periapt of Wound Closure, which he grasps and holds aloft whenever he invokes his god's power to dispell and destroy undead beings. He has known it to grow warm at times when Sarenrae has spoken to him. These times have been sparse: once, when he first entered the water from the sinking ship The Crested Eagle, compelling him to swim, and again when a voice in his ear persuaded him to unite the Feywild Shard with Grokko. Another survivor of The Crested Eagle to heed the call of Sarenrae was its former first mate, Lania Falst, who began wearing her own pendant of Sarenrae in gratitude for surviving the shipwreck.

Vichthart's father, Decheimül Fezzilbahn, is also a priest of Sarenrae, and was known to Cardinal Maurul Silkendawn by his reputation. Elias is a cleric of Sarenrae. A symbol of Sarenrae was discovered in the sewers of Senneborn after the party defeated the transparent gelatinous cube.
