Dian Cécht is the god of healing and the physician of the gods. After battle he bathes the wounded and dead in his magical pond "Slán" from which they emerge whole and living.
He appears as an adult man with long brown hair held by a white hair-band. His eyes are light brown. He is usually clean-shaven and very tidy. He wears a white robe and a light grey cloak. He gathers healing herbs with a golden sickle.
The followers of Dian teach sanitation and the benefits of tidiness to avoid diseases. Keeping vermin out of the house is important to them too.
They know that battles and fights are sometimes unavoidable and recognise that injuring or killing the enemy is neccessary to survive in certain cases. The followers of Dian don't like fighting and use violence only as a last resort, but they are not pacifists.
They pray either at dawn or noon, at the time when he acquires his class.
Dian's temples always include a hospital, asylums, or bath house. In fact there is nearly no such institution without an associated temple of Dian.
