Difference between revisions of "Deucalion"

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]], a newly appointed secretary of the modern [[Church]]. Tassad learned that the spirit 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 months of thought and prayer, Tassad discovered a means to take Dunamis' place on this plane of [[Order]] by way of ritual. He ended up sacrificing  himself in the process. Upon Dunamis's arrival on the [[Prime Material Plane]], [[Sarapis]] raised him to godhood, renaming 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.

In 612 AF, [[Shallam]] fell to the forces of [[Bal'met]] the Worldreaver. Through the prayers of the faithful Deucalion was summoned back from the void. He and [[Aurora]] now watch over Good and battle the forces of Chaos, Darkness, and Evil, Their power commingled by Their bloodswearing.
