Vastar, the Skylord, was one of the original Elder Gods created by Ayar. He took part in the Battle of Nishnatoba against the 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.

Vastar returned to slumber once more but more recently returned under the guise of an Atavian wanderer.

Vastar is known for being both enigmatic and supportive, teaching His followers to pursue their goals in order to find their path to self-realisation. While Vastar is also known also for His impartial attitudes towards all beings in existence, His followers are consummately devoted to their goals and dreams.

The four Tenets of the Sky are Freedom, Passion, Infinity and Individuality, all contained within the Tetrahedron. Those who devote themselves to the Skylord follow these teachings, walking the path of the Sky. Dwelling upon the Eternal Wind, the Endless Sky, and the Levin of Thunder, the Skylord embraces scholars, craftsmen and -women, and warriors alike with the same empathy, giving His Disciples free space to develop themselves as they wish.

The Divine Symbols of Vastar include 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.

The only Atavian group that does not recognise His patronage is that of Genji village.
