Sháēlyon (ShA.e-lee.on)

Shade-Sun Everchanging , the Renegade Protector (a.k.a. Anthelios)

Sháēlyon, also known as the Shade-Sun was once a servant of Bright One and constituted the eighth of the Suns.
Sháēlyon is considered both the Anti-Sun and the Moon of the Cosmos of Subsolem Septem. As recorded in the Song of Sháēlyon they rebelled against their host during the War of the Ancients and prevented the complete destruction of the Umbral Cloak.
Apart from Shade-Sun other by-names of Sháēlyon are the Everchanging and the Renegade Protector.

Sháēlyon is most often depicted as a six armed, winged humanoid whose feathers refract light brilliantly.
Their bodily features are constantly morphing as the moon goes through its phases but their face is covered with a veil.
In one of their six hands they wield a weapon which changes shape depending on the moon phase while holding their shield in another.
During the new moon Sháēlyon wields a simple walking stick, during the waxing crescent moon a bow, during the full moon a trident and during the gibbuous moon a glaive.
The rest of their arms uphold the Penumbral Cloak.
The shiny metal known as Shaelûnite which looks similar to mundane brass but has unique magickal qualities and amber are materials chiefly associated with Sháēlyon.

Though Sháēlyon the Shade-Sun is impersonal and mostly aloof two personalized-deified aspects of the Everchanging called Sháelûnē, the Maiden of Moon and Night and Háel-Lu.en the Lambent Light and Lifegiver are worshipped by cults across the Scorched Lands.
