Celestor

King of the Gods, Sky, and Sun

The God King

Celestor rules over the skies as the God King, ruling the pantheon and overseeing the domain of the sun, skies, and agriculture. As the harbinger of the harvest, he is worshiped by farmers and most common folk, and his priests are welcomed in many lands. He is often the patron of paladins and rangers who follow a similar creed, leading to many different religious orders being raised across Riven in his name to fight off dark powers. Supporter of the needy and destroyer of evil, the God King rules over the pantheon with a benevolent shield and hammer. He is known for the defeat of the King Who Crawls and the Prince of Darkness Raum, as well as for banishing Darkin with the help of Xapham, Malady, Dunamis, and the Raven, Lamb, and Wolf.
Celestor is often found within Sacrosanct Indomitus, a bastion of hope and order as well as meeting grounds for the Primaris gods, atop Mount Aphelion. His godstone is located on the bright Luminous Plains of Calgaerus, depicting him watching over the farmers and cultivators in the area above his heavenly glow.

Depiction

Tapestries of old portray Celestor in bright gold armor exuding unending sunlight from it. Long dark hair and a contained beard adorn his head, with a shield and hammer in hand coursing with electricity. Behind him casts a large Celestor sigil, built out of solid gold floating behind him and acting as a conduit for his magical power.

Enemies

The Dawn Father holds many enemies dear within his foes in the dark, from the King Who Crawls Norog to the First Fiend Raum, nearly all of the Betrayer Gods find themselves on the opposite end of the God King's hammer.
