'''Vastar, the Skylord''' is the God of the boundless Sky and is known for being both enigmatic and supportive. | |||
' | Vastar's teachings consist of the four Tenets of the Sky: Freedom, Passion, Infinity and Individuality, collectively referred to as the Tetrahedron. Dwelling upon the Eternal Wind, the Endless Sky and the Levin of Thunder, the Skylord embraces scholars, craftsmen and warriors alike into the Order of the Silver Wing so long as they exemplify the Tenets of the Sky in all that they do. | ||
The only Atavian community that does not officially recognise His patronage is [[Genji]] village, although informal cooperation often takes place between the two. | |||
== History == | |||
Vastar was one of the original [[Elder Gods]] created by [[Ayar]]. He took part in the [[Battle of Nishnatoba]] against the [[Triumvirate (mythology)|Triumvirate]] and is the spiritual father of the race that is His creation, the winged [[Atavians]]. | |||
In the year 208 AF, Vastar awakened from His long slumber by radiation in the sky unleashed during the combined explosions of the great sun [[Ethian]] and the bottomless pit [[Abbadon]]. Upon seeing the killing energies polluting His realm, Vastar drew the activity out from the atmosphere and condensed it into a shimmering sphere high above the continent. This ball of energy became the comet that now annually crosses paths with the planet upon which [[Sapience]] resides and is all that remains of Ethian, the Morning Star. | In the year 208 AF, Vastar awakened from His long slumber by radiation in the sky unleashed during the combined explosions of the great sun [[Ethian]] and the bottomless pit [[Abbadon]].

At the turn of the fifth century after the fall of Seleucar rising tensions between the Tritons and Arcadians drew the Skylord's attention dramatically back to the Prime Material Plane. Following a heated battle within the Sky Tower of Arcadia, Vastar struck out against the Tritons directly, sending a storm of energy coursing from that same tower into the hidden city of Scyros, leaving destruction in its wake. In response, Neraeos sent a massive tidal hand to crush the Sky Tower. At an impasse, the two gods withdrew their wrath and in ancient tradition agreed to a trial of ritual combat, marking the official declaration of the war of Sky and Sea. | At the turn of the fifth century after the fall of Seleucar rising tensions between the Tritons and Arcadians drew the Skylord's attention dramatically back to the Prime Material Plane.

Vastar | == The Order of the Silverwing == | ||
Vastar teaches His followers to pursue their goals in order to find their path to self-realisation through the tenets of Freedom. However, while once content to encourage the personal growth of His Order, Vastar now places equal emphasis in combating the encroaching influence of the God of the Sea. | |||
== Divine Symbols == | |||
The holy symbols of Vastar are a stylised whirlwind of silver on a field of white, a sapphire falcon with extended wings, and a glowing spiral of silver on a cerulean background. | |||
