Common title and name of his spear
Lord Aster is a force of light and hope that cannot be dimmed by the shadows of the world. His sigils are the sun and the aster flower, and wherever this flower grows is where the sun god’s radiance has manifested. They mark the places where his divine presence has touched the earth.
When manifesting as a persona, Lord Aster is seen as a giant titan with copper skin, clad in radiant armor of gold and silver that gleams like the dawn itself, and carrying a spear called Lightbringer, with which he can change the trajectory of the sun across the heavens.
His presence brings with it the warmth of the morning sun and the certainty that light will always triumph over darkness.
Common Worship
Section titled “Common Worship”The Lord of Dawn is worshipped everywhere the sun rises, for with his great spear he moves it across the skies to bring on the new day. His light shines bright in the dark corners of the world, and he stands as a figure of hope against the onslaught of darkness, a beacon of protection and positive energy that drives back the forces of evil and despair.
His clerics are seen as warriors by some, but their primary role is to protect the innocent and drive back the forces of evil. The Sun Titan is regarded by all who seek to bring light to the world as the ultimate expression of protection.
Worshippers often call his name in aid against the undead, or for blessings against dark curses, for his light is the bane of all creatures that dwell in shadow. Where the light of his day shines, there is always hope against the odds, and those who come to revere him will be the light in the darkest places of the world.
His spirit is most prevalent on the open plains and in the morning sun, where the aster flowers bloom aplenty, marking the sacred places where his divine presence is strongest.
Wherever darkness threatens and the innocent are in peril, Lord Aster is called upon to guide the protector and unleash the power of the sun. The Lightbringer receives countless prayers from those seeking the warmth of his embrace.
The followers of Lord Aster are those who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of protection, who have seen the suffering of the innocent and chosen to become their shield rather than turn away, and who have learned that light and hope are more powerful than the fickle nature of fear. They include paladins who have sworn to protect the innocent, undead slayers who hunt the creatures of darkness, knights who uphold the code of honor, farmers who depend on the sun’s blessing, and those who have endured great trials and emerged stronger for having learned to trust in the power of light and the inevitability of dawn’s triumph.
