How to reach him
- Enter Wildfire Hallowgrove and get a Sacred Branch. Followers of the Preacher of the Sun drop them; they are summoned at the Oath Altars.
- Go to the gate inside the Wildfire Forbidden Zone and use the Sacred Branch to open it.
- Advance to the Wildfire Divine Anchor, where Lars waits.
The game also announces a "Preacher of the Sun" event during matches: a portal opens and leads to the same fight.

Lore
Liv, a Lamplighter of the Sacred Chamber and Lars's steward, tells his story during the season.
- A slave from Norgard. Lars was exiled from Norgard to the mines of Brandrgarde. A transfer order then sent him into Hallowgrove, where only the Preacher of the Sun and his followers were allowed near the Divine Anchor.
- The Duel of the Sacred Tree. By the old rule, anyone who snapped a branch off the Divine Anchor could challenge the reigning Preacher, kill him and take his place. Lars broke off the branch and won in front of everyone.
- High Priest. He punished the wicked and settled disputes by the will of the gods. He also recovered the ritual of the Soul Brand from sealed archives and passed it to his Lamplighter.
- The letter. He wrote to the Royal House of Norgard asking for an investigation into General Harald of Brandrgarde, but never sent it.
- The last duel. On his final night as High Priest a challenger carrying a sacred branch faced him under the Divine Anchor: Harald, who had given his body to the Velgr.
- The pyre. Harald claimed an oracle had named Lars a traitor to the gods. Lars was held in the Sorcerer's Tower and then burned on a pyre of white ash wood. Dew later found no such oracle in the Web of Fate.
