Solus
The God of the Sun and Stars, The Patron, The Radiant, The Hunter
Prior to the war, Solus was the God of the Sun, Stars and the Moon. His power was always present in the mortal realm, something Nocturne always resented him for. His light guided mortals through their first steps, his affection supported the Shieldmaiden throughout the War of the Gods and his holy light burned the undead in droves. Its widely accepted that Solus is the most powerful of the Gods, this power is more of a burden though as it cannot be controlled nor directed in large amounts. At the Battle of the Northern Plains the Aegis was close to defeat. Yan and her aasimar were scattered, with many dead, the Shieldmaiden herself was wounded badly and reinforcements were too far away to rely on. Solus, in an act of desperation, briefly unleashed his full power annihilating all beings for hundreds of miles and creating the desert now referred to as the Unfallen Sands. This event permanently increased the amount of Source magic present in the mortal planes and worsened the growing cracks in reality. The Shieldmaiden was Solus' great love, and together they were to meant to have a child. But when the Shieldmaiden became one part of the Unifier, the essence of the Conqueror corrupted the child, and when it was born it was deformed and malicious. Solus sealed the creature in the Underdark, unable to kill it out of pity but ensuring that it fear the light always and never harm the mortals above its prison.
After the war, Solus became more ruthless, his conflict with Nocturne, Morrow and their followers never ending. Though he cannot physically pursue his enemies on the mortal plane. his followers within the Hallowed Inquisition and Order Unbroken hunt their evil with intent to burn it in his holy light.

While Solus is one of the most widely prayed to Gods, with his power impacting every mortal life on a day to day basis, the especially devout followers tend to be members of the Hallowed Inquisition or Order Unbroken. Solus lends his power freely to those he considers worthy and therefore his light has become a common tool for holy warriors.
