On the Heresey of the Sun
How can you say that the primary aspect of our God is the sun? You cannot prove that the sun will rise every morning, nor that it will fall at night. It is law, natural law that Amaunator acts over and enforces and such a job is meaningless without the control of time. The heretical teachings of the church have latched onto the most obvious manifestation as the regular movements of the sun. Is it not obvious that even this primitive symbol is under the rule of time? Every year we have regular solstices -every day a rise a predicted by an orderly sky - and every minute, a regular march. The Moon wanes, the stars drift, but the sun shines bright every morning so although all are bounded by the laws of Nature, the latter is chosen as the symbol of Amaunator.
It is in fact impossible to enforce any law without a control of time. Of course one cannot enter into a timed contract without the regular flow of time but even more so, all contract requires a temporal march. Would interest on debt be acceptable if a month or year was random? Could Eternal bondage and service even exist without the infinite and eternal power of Amaunator? How could anyone render service if not for time's flow?
That is what I find so confusing about the heretics. They claim to worship a God of law and order that himself does not abide to it nor enforce it! Imagine that the law of the rising sun was set by this so called 'Mystryl'... What then would be his power? To pay service to some fictional being. No! It is clear in the letter of the law that:
| ... Amaunator shall be responsible for all time.

After the first day, I was reuinited with Dog water. How she got here or remained untouched by the touch of the shadowfell is beyond me. Moreover how or why is in possession of artifacts of Khandrig is also unknown to me. Whatever she is doing here, she i...

This group of mercenaries that Quevvry insists upon employing is very strange. I don't think that a person would be incorrect if they assumed that every person within this group was doomed and commanded very little respect, yet their competence in their c...

Contacts & Relations
Is a high ranking member of the assassin's organization, The Masked Ubrage, with close ties to its leader, Quevvyr Dun'Robar.
Honorary & Occupational Titles
Advisor to the Grandmaster
Religious Views
Gaius is radical in the belief that Amaunator is the true God of time and that any pantheons that deny this fact or even account for the existence of Mystryl to be heretical. All stories and claims made that Amaunator does not act full-heartedly as the God of time is unfounded lies and slander.
To this effect, he does not even recognize the church of Lathander as heretical because he does not see the throughline to Amaunator. It is utterly lost upon him that anyone would think that the two Gods are even related.
Social Aptitude
Not necessarily friendly, but socially aware.
He does understand personal space in the context of spells that require physical touch. If giving a bless he will establish physical contact early and maintain it for the duration of the casting, often while making eye-contact.
Hobbies & Pets
He has a young phoenix at his hip, summoning on a relic of Khandrigs
