The Myth of the Sun Lord

In these diminished days, our cycles are divided between daylight and darkness. But it was not always so.

In the age before man, the Sun Lord reigned unchallenged in the sky. All was golden in his light and peace and bounty were the fruits of the land.

But the stars were jealous. Being creatures of the same principles of nuclear fusion as the Sun Lord, each of them shone with the same light as the Sun Lord yet all were outshone by His brilliance.

The stars conspired to take the Sun Lord down. Learning the dreams and secrets of all under the Sun Lord’s light, they staged a mighty assault. The Sun Lord battled mightily, but soon half his strength was spent. At dusk, the Sun Lord fell to Eredain, defeated, allowing the stars to shine and gaze maddeningly from above. But each day at dawn, the Sun Lord rises again to combat the stars, bringing light and reason to the lands beneath.
