Zeilar
Sunrider Zeilar
Praise be to Zeilar, the Light that banishes the darkness, the fire of hope that protects us from the chill of despair, the Great Phoenix Lord who redeems us in death, the Warrior and Protector who guards us in times of trouble, the Purifier who cleanses our imperfections in the fires of his own glory. Through his eyes, death is humbled and gives way to rebirth. May I rise from the ashes of my own folly and blaze with the knowledge that you have granted me, oh Phoenix Lord, that I might become a torch casting your light into every corner, expunging the shadow of ignorance from all the faithful. Nestor the Pious, Flamefather of BronthaThe light of the sun shines down on the Infernal and the mortal alike, born across the sky each day by the Phoenix God, Zeilar. Born of Vindur and Sin, Zeilar embodies the duality of fire and the eternal cycle of Birth, Life, Death and Renewal. This connection to the mysteries of the Four Pillars makes Zeilar a uniquely transcendent deity among the titans. Zeilar appears as a magnificent phoenix, burning with glorious radiance and adorned with feathers that proceed from a brilliant white to a deep red, capturing every color of flame that appears naturally. His warmth comforts those in need and his wrath falls upon those who consort with infernals.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
As the Dawn came to an end, the Elemental Sovereigns realized that the new world of the Four Kingdoms would require more than their own will. Without the ability to shape reality by will alone, the Sovereigns needed help preparing the new world to bear life. So did they combine their essence in passion and in thought, and brought forth the Elemental Titans.
Vindur and Sin brought forth Zeilar, the Sun Rider, Phoenix God and Eternally Reborn. His task is to carry the sun across the sky each day so its light can shine down and nurture the Mortal World far below.
Gender Identity
Zeilar is a titan and transcends mere gender but mortals often refer to Zeilar as male, which is fine.
Morality & Philosophy
Zeilar is a god of the cycle. He embodies the duality of fire, teaching mortals how to rain destruction upon infernals while also healing and bringing life. He believes in rebirth and in second chances, but also in justice, bravery, and determination. Kindness tempered by strength. Change and transformation.
Taboos
The undead. While consorting with Infernal powers is definitely against Zeilar's teachings, the Undead are an abomination that circumvent the natural cycle of Birth, Life, Death and Renewal. As such, Zeilar grants his faithful the power of radiant light to destroy them and return them to the cycle, an act of mercy.
