Dusk, Shrouded Vanguard

Dusk, Shrouded Vanguard is one of the most well-known Protector Gods. Dusk was the god of darkness, sleep, and comfort, and one of the closest allies of mortals all throughout the Abandonment. Dusk often appeared as a large, black, hooded cloak filled with shadows, occasionally showing a set of three green eyes beneath the hood.   Dusk is a crucial part of one of the primary creation myths of Hominifolk society, protecting the Hominifolk from the ire of Raziel, Hand of Light by hiding the Hominifolk within their cloak. The survivors went on to form the city of Light.   As the story goes, Dusk and Raziel were close friends and confidants at the beginning of all things, but as creation went and mortals began to form societies, Raziel grew increasingly cynical, and Dusk grew increasingly enamored. It is this dynamic that would lead to the crux of the Abandonment, the split between the Protector Gods and the Betrayer Gods.  

Abandonment

Dusk was the primary force in the protection of mortalkind during the Abandonment.  

Death

After the destruction of Knackery, Dusk challenged Raziel to settle things, claiming that the mortals did not deserve to suffer for conflicts that belonged to gods alone. Raziel accepted the challenge and the two gods did battle in the skies above Albietha. Raziel slew Dusk and then began to weep, coming to know that they had slain their oldest friend. It was then that a collection of mortals approached Raziel. The god declared that their time was over, and did not resist when the mortals beheaded them.
