Javat

A.K.A. The Radiant, The Eyes of Truth, The Father of Patrons, The Holy Watcher, among others

Javat is the good counterpart to Sanat and the most widely worshiped of the two deities. He is the embodiment of law and goodness, however is also a distant deity so his direct teachings are few. Because of that there is a large amount of religions in Cynkard, all of whom worship the same god, but sometimes teach wildly different things and foster different attitudes to various aspects of life, including but not limited to the order of society, attitude towards magic and what is considered virtuous and what's a vice.

Symbolism

Javat is often portrayed as a humanoid being made entirely of light, with only distinguishing feature being large beautiful eyes. Sometimes, especially in sculpting, he is also depicted as a humanoid figure almost completely covered by a robe with a hood, with no facial features except the eyes.
Fittingly, the holy symbol of Javat is an eye. There is no consistent depiction of the eye, different cultures making it look appropriately to the typical art style found in a given culture.
