Zelios
Greater Deity - Great One
One of, if not the most ancient of the gods in the Helian pantheon, Zelios was the absolute pinnacle of celestial divinity that the planes had to offer. It is said that even the sun that Zelios has domain over is not bright enough in comparison to his light. He commanded the Nine Heavensfrom the Primum Mobile, casting a shadow on anything that stood in his brilliant light. For ages the exhilarating brightness of Zelios lit up the hearts of mortals, inspiring them to create something new for the betterment of the world. He would frequently aid mortals in their endeavors, as Zelios loved to watch them prosper and succeed in goodness.
Alas, in the current day, the era of Zelios is gone. Before the Eclipse, Zelios took a liking to a particular mortal that had just risen to lordship in the nation of Luxon. The man was smart, creative, insightful, and had a prodigious talent for light magic. Not only that, but the man was a devoted follower of the church of Zelios, going as far as personally leading the construction of the largest cathedral in the city of Auduria. Eventually, the man would gain the favor of the Great One to the point where he would be selected as the Chosen of Zelios. He was even gifted the dragon Xeralux as a divine token to bolster his strength. Shortly thereafter, the man, Aelwin, would become king of Luxon.
