She was revered as the embodiment of **justice**, **protection**, and **truth**, standing as a beacon of fairness and the ultimate defender of the weak. Aurelion’s presence unified the Benevolent Old Gods, guiding them with wisdom and strength as they opposed the twisted forces of the **Malevolent Old Tyrant Gods**. Legends speak of her clad in radiant armor that glowed with golden light, her shield a celestial bulwark against corruption. Her voice was said to resonate with both comfort and command, rallying her allies while shaking the resolve of those who would harm the innocent. ### **Worship & Beliefs** Though Aurelion vanished alongside the other Old Gods, her influence lingers. Her followers believe that her light endures in the hearts of those who seek justice and selfless protection. Temples dedicated to her have largely fallen to ruin, yet hidden shrines are still tended by secretive orders who believe that her return will herald the end of tyranny. Devotees of Aurelion hold to a code of fairness, courage, and truth. They believe that mercy is not weakness and that true strength comes from standing firm against injustice — even at great personal cost. ### **The Fall of the Old Gods** Aurelion’s fate is tied to the war between the **Benevolent Old Gods** and the **Malevolent Old Tyrant Gods**. When the Tyrants threatened to consume the world in darkness and chaos, the Benevolent Gods sacrificed themselves in a desperate attempt to seal their malevolent counterparts away. It is said that Aurelion stood as the vanguard in this final stand, her shield blazing like a second sun as she held back the advancing horrors. Some myths suggest her essence became woven into the very fabric of celestial order — the guiding hand behind fate, justice, and protection. Others claim that she slumbers in a radiant bastion beyond mortal reach, waiting for a time when her presence will be needed once more. ### **Legacy** - **Zigor, the Judge** is believed to channel remnants of Aurelion’s will, especially in matters of moral judgment and the protection of truth. - **Olos, the Captain** is seen as inheriting her principles of leadership and structure, albeit in a more militaristic and pragmatic form. Ancient prophecies speak of a time when Aurelion’s light will break through the shadows once again — a beacon that signals the return of the Old Gods and a final battle to vanquish the Tyrant Gods for good.
