Deïmon the Bright
The Faceless, The Teacher and The Ever-Burning
Origins and Myths
Deïmon, like most of the major gods in Saohri theologoy, was created by Matazel the Lonely at the dawn of time. He crafted her from his eyes, and brought her to life with his breath. He shrouded her body in a light so bright not even gods could gaze at her true form.My child, to you I gift the love of mortals. They will follow your travel through the sky, and their lives will be centred around your every move.
Matazel then placed her in the sky, and instructed her to watch over the mortals he would later create. Under no circumstance was she allowed to descend from the heavens. Many stories tell of Deïmon's curiosity and disobedience, and the most famous of all tells the tale of how she snuck out of the Sea of Dusk one night to teach mortals how to weild fire.
She was rarely, if ever punished by Matazel, who had grown old and tired and cared little for his children, so long as order was kept.
Most myths and stories depict Deïmon as a loving caretaker who watches and dote on mortals. However, she is also known for her wrath, and acts as an executioner for the will of the Gods. A particularly brutal story describes how the Ever-Burning was sent out to destroy a village after its inhabitants had desecrated a temple of Samara the Enchantress.
You should never, ever invoke the true name of the Ever-burning, lest you wish for her to set her fire upon you.

I love the myth of how fire was given to the humans by Deïmon. That gave me happy fuzzies. <3 As always, I love the three aspects all of the gods in this pantheon have. The last one frightens me, though. D:
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the three aspects of each god, I enjoy how it can create conflict between the same entities.
