'''Deucalion, the Righteous Fire''' is the [[God]] of Righteousness. Together with [[Aurora]], He watches over the devout servants of Good.

Originally, His name was '''Dunamis''', which means "The Justice that Was" in the language of the [[Aldar]]. Dunamis was contacted, through extensive prayer and [[meditation]], by [[Tassad Baraslan]], the newly-appointed secretary of the [[Church]]. Tassad deposed that the God was unable to leave the [[plane]] upon which He was imprisoned without releasing vast quantities of [[chaos]] throughout Creation, something Dunamis did not wish to happen. After much thought, Tassad decided to take Dunamis' place on this plane of [[Order]], killing himself in the process. Upon Dunamis's arrival on the [[Prime Material Plane]], [[Sarapis]] renamed Him Deucalion, which translates as "The Justice that Is."

Deucalion's essence was dispersed when He sacrificed Himself to contain the life-destroying energies of the resulting explosion from the [[Death's Heart Saga]]. In the year 261 AF, [[Maran La'Saen]], the Sultan of [[Shallam]] and the guildmaster of the [[Empyreal Assembly|Priests]], sacrificed himself in an attempt to revive Him. Although unsuccessful, the Gods honoured Maran's selfless act and his soul was joined with the remaining essence of Deucalion to become [[Pentharian]], God of Righteousness and Valour.
