Hyperion - Lord of Light
Hyperion is the God of Light and Fire. He is an aggressive and wrathful deity who is obsessed with his appearance.
Hyperion is the Twin of the Goddess Nyx, his polar opposite, who he has a tempestuous relationship with.
Hyperion presides over the domain of fire, from volcanoes to the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Hyperion was formerly a highly worshipped deity, associated with conquest and appeased with human sacrifice. But in modern times he is far less popular, and is commonly only worshipped to prevent wildfires and by specific cults. He is usually worshipped alongside his son Helios, who he shares similar domains with.
Domains: Day, Fire and Light.
Symbols: A Flaming Gauntlet, Lions, Phoenixes and Volcanoes.
