Zastor
Zastor stands as one of the most mysterious and influential yet obscure gods in the pantheon of Aina. Originally born as Bron, he was the son of the mighty earth god Branon and sea goddess Nera. As a child, he was physically frail and homely, leading to rejection by his father Branon. Believed to be dead by the gods, Bron retreated into obscurity.
During this time, Bron began to develop immense powers of magic, becoming known as Zastor, the elusive god of sorcery. He sired a daughter named Aeirina with his mortal lover Aendria, though kept his godly lineage a secret.
Zastor became the patron of magic for many mortal sects, sharing his arcane knowledge in exchange for their loyalty. He was especially revered among the magician kings of the Northern Alliance.
When Branon sired the demigod Bruinan with Aeirina, Zastor protected the child's existence from the other gods. At his death in the Second Black Fire War, the dying Zastor passed his fading magic into the sword Lifthrasir, entrusting it to Branon to gift to Bruinan so that sorcery could rise again.
