'''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]], a newly appointed secretary of the modern [[Church|Holy Church of Achaea]]. 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 sacrificed 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 went on to patron the Holy Church with Aurora, bestowing the [[Holy Codex]] upon the fledgling congregation to serve as enduring guidance for life, spirit, and daily conduct. A scant half century later His essence was dispersed when He sacrificed Himself to contain the life-destroying explosion from the [[Death's Heart Saga|Death's Heart]]. In 261 AF, [[Maran La'Saen]], the Sultan of [[Shallam]] and earstwhile guildmaster of the [[Empyreal Assembly|Priests Guild]], sacrificed himself in an attempt to resurrect 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.

In 612 AF, [[Shallam]] fell to the forces of [[Bal'met]] the Worldreaver. Through the prayers of the faithful, and the newly recovered [[Sword of Dunamis]], 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 [[bloodsworn|bloodswearing]].
