Description
Aeternis is visualized as a majestic figure, often depicted in the form of a celestial dragon or a towering humanoid cloaked in robes that shimmer like the night sky filled with constellations. Each star on its cloak represents a law of the universe it has set. Aeternis’s eyes glow with a steady, reassuring light, symbolizing enlightenment and clarity.
Bio
Born from the cosmic order that preceded all creation, Aeternis brought structure to the chaos that was the early universe. As the Architect of Realms, Aeternis laid down the laws that govern the physical and metaphysical, aiming to protect the burgeoning life forms and guide them towards harmony and prosperity. Temples dedicated to Aeternis stand as bastions of knowledge and order, often serving as courts and educational centers where laws are made and upheld.
Aeternis's primary goal is to maintain the balance of the cosmos, ensuring that neither
Chaos nor order overwhelms the other. The deity’s followers believe that too much order can lead to tyranny and stagnation, which must be avoided at all costs.
Role and Influence
Positive Aspects
Protection: Aeternis ensures that the universe operates under a set of predictable laws that protect beings from chaos and destruction.
Civilization: Societies under the influence of Order, like Dragsa, benefit from advanced technologies, structured governments, and strong defenses.
Negative Aspects
Oppression: Excessive order can lead to authoritarianism, where individual freedoms are suppressed in the name of maintaining stability. Dragsa, for instance, might enforce severe laws that limit personal expression and enforce conformity.
Stagnation: Too much predictability and control can prevent societal evolution, stifling creativity and innovation. Societies might resist necessary changes, leading to decay rather than growth.
