Aqoon, The Orphan of Knowledge (Ah-coon)
The Orphan of Knowledge Aqoon (a.k.a. The Curious Orphan)
The Orphan of Knowledge
Aqoon is the second eldest sibling of the 8 orphans of the Orufenzu Pantheon. He is most often depicted as a small male child wearing rough and torn clothing and being accompanied by three birds. Aqoon embodies knowledge in its purest state and this reflects in his alleged appearance. Children are often known to be curious about the world, and the torn and dirty clothes represent his willingness to explore and get dirty in order to discover, and the three birds represent the well-known 3 tenets of knowledge, both natural and arcane, Discovery, Understanding, and Perfection. Many wizards, artificers, and other knowledge-based groups follow these tenets closely and use them to guide not only their studies but their life as well. Aqoon is never one to grant his followers direct knowledge, but often gives them hints and clue through his angels, which are said to appear as eyeballs with wings. Despite being the second oldest sibling it is clear that he was not the first one to forge his holy stigmata. He is said to be well-mannered, kind, easily distractable, and quite adept in natural sciences, although he is said to struggle with magic, but since the 8 Orphans have not visited the mortal plane in quite some time and do not directly interact with mortals these claims to his personality are unverifiable. Aqoon is known to have three children Sixir, Farsamaynta, Xaaraan. Sixir represents arcane knowledge, Farsamaynta represents crafting knowledge, and Xaaraan's original form and purpose are unknown, but after Xaaraan helped Ibliis slay the parents of the 8 Orphans she was forsaken along with Ibliis and is now worshiped by cults seeking dark, forbidden, and hidden knowledge. All of Aqoons children are said to act much more mature than him, but all of them still pale to know as much as he does all but Farsamaynta who knows more of magic than her father. Like all of the 8 Orphans, Aqoon is often prayed to generally. Those who are devout worshipers of Aqoon are usually scholars who are extremely dedicated to what they are studying.

Tenets of Faith
"The Tenets of Knowledge:
Discovery: To first embark on your journey to know things, you must find things! Things you understand, things you don't, anything will do! Understanding: Next you gotta figure out how these things work, what they do, how they do it, when they do it! Perfection: Finally you have to master your way to predict or cause these things to react or do something in every single aspect. It is only after you have done all of these steps can you say that you really know something 100 percent!"Holidays

Personal history
Early Life
Legends and myth say that Aqoon was so excited to be born that he sprung from his mothers loins and hit his head on the floor. He was badly injured and in order to save his life Father gave him apart of his own head. The young Aqoon gained great knowledge of many things, but no understanding or comprehension. Thirsting to understand the world around him he quickly began to explore and experiment.Before The War in Heaven
Aqoon soon came to understand that it would take many many eons for him to learn many things by himself, so he would need help. Not being interested in courting other celestials, myth says that he used his knowledge to craft his children from earth, air, fire, and water. His work gave way to 3 children; Sixir, Farsamaynta, Xaaraan. As soon as they were created he immediately told them of what they should study, and left to continue his work. Sixir and Farsamaynta were raised primarily by Mother and Father, Xaaraan however was unable to ever fit in, and often was alone and bullied by her siblings.During The War in Heaven
Aqoon was away when Father and Mother were slain, and when news reached him he immediately made his way back. He was so struck by the horror of what happened he could only repeat that he couldn't understand why this happened. While the war was fought he was often locked away inside his room, reading over tomes he had created attempting to come to understand why Iblis and Xaaraan did what they did. He only emerged after he had found out, and this was one of the few times he never shared the conclusion he came to. He spent the rest of the time to himself, never participating in any combat until the Battle of Astral Point.After The War in Heaven & Modern Times
After the war ended Aqoon is said to have spent time amongst the humans of Nomdia on Iskudar, taking the form of a Nomdian Falcon and whispering hints to scholars and scientists, who struggled to move forward and rebuild after the war. However once the time of the Third Era came he never returned to the world in person.Sexuality

History
Nolosha comforted Aqoon and Khyanndi after they lost Mother and Father. While the other siblings dived head-first into war these three tried to keep their family together. As such they think of and value each other highly.
Birds in the world of Isukdar are all very intelligent creatures, comparable to the intelligence of a dog when they are properly trained. This coupled with the imagery of birds in Aqoons alleged form and holy symbol/stigmata have to lead to what some would describe as "Bird Cults". These cults say that birds are sapient creatures and strictly prohibited their hunting and harvesting for resources in their lands. A more moderate Bird Cult has implanted itself within the very interworking of the Five Kingdoms, The Falconers. The Falconers are an organization of scholars and wizards who are highly regarded, and one of them serves in nearly every court in the Five Kingdoms. They also are the main mode of non-magical and magical message delivery. As such Falconers have many privileges within the Five Kingdoms and myths have developed, like how it's bad luck to kill and Falconer, or how a Falconer can not be blamed for their lord's crimes. Where the myths and saying originate from is unknown, but what is known is that they are commonly believed and are even instituted as law in some holds.
