Soltis
God of Sun & Time
Soltis was the second god to rise in Orizon, he is a god of light and of truth, and of the raw power of the sun. Once he was the grandest friend of Incancatus, and illuminated the trapped one’s work, providing it with further energy. Soltis was deeply saddened by the losses of the breaking and had hoped to restore some of the lost glory, protecting the world from the sudden attention of an Esuriiten titan. He had believed that he would be able to illuminate the world again, until Incancatus raised up an army. Soltis set out to stop his old friend, raising an army of surviving gods and powerful mortals. to oppose the evil gods and fiends. Soltis succeeded, though at a great cost, and, unable to kill him, imprisoned his old friend so that his madness could never destroy the world he just saved. To this day, in his grief, he marks the date of the breaking with an eclipse.
Soltis led the charge of gods and celestials against Incancatus, and because of this, in myth and legend, he is known as a grand destroyer of evil and the greatest of generals and warriors. His light is said to be soft on those he cares for, and searing to his enemies. The role he has taken after this grand battle is to keep watch over the plane of Orizon, protecting the broken world from Incancatus and its servants, or other beings that attempt to do harm to the plane or its people. He also dictates law for the lesser gods, acting in part to keep the mistakes of the breaking from occurring again. The laws with this motive are the main thing keeping the gods from directly interacting with the world as often as they did in the age of wonders.
Soltis extols his followers to burn away the shadows, and to bring his light where it does not shine. He is often invoked by those who seek the truth or virtuous guidance, or the power to simply burn away their enemies or the evil. He is associated with sundials and they feature prominently in his temples.
