Faith of the Chromatic Sun

"United we stand, divided we fall" ""The Faith of the Chromatic Sun is a polytheistic religion based in the continent of Elastra, Eldham. Its main deity is Soliphor, the god of the sun. Its guiding principle is unity.

Creation
It was a plane devoid of life, colour, emotion. It was that until a singularity appeared. Unlike its environment, it was full of life, color and emotion, and as time went by with nowhere to put the unknown element that was expanding, it was incapable to contain it any longer thus resulting in its collapse.

The transformation of the plane wasn't instant. It took time for it to settle, but the end result was a diverse plane filled with colour and vegetation. The fragments of the singularity also remained, and as time went on, they united into different entities. It is unknown how many fragments there were but to simplify things, it is believed that the singularity was divided into 100 fragments which then united to form the entities we now know as the gods.

Some gods were made of more fragments than other. In total, 7 entities were created, Soliphor, Ophen, Iezhet, Baem, Phosur, Cirius and Fluvos and the remaining fragments that didn't merge became other entities like organisms and mythical creatures.

The First Expansion
As time went on, the 7 entities began to explore and dabble in the arts of existence (also known as elemental arts); over time, they began assigning themselves to different elemental arts. Ophen became the goddess of Culture, Iezhet of Conflict, Baem of Essence, Phosur of Knowledge, Cirius of Change and Fluvos of Sound. Only Soliphor couldn't find anything, but eventually, he would.

Peace was still present in the plane. Baem, as the new god of essence began to warm up the plane. He observed the behavior of his subordinates and noticed how life seems to blossom in the presence of warmth. With the help of Cirius, he changed the distribution of heat in the world thus creating colder and warmer areas.

In areas where heat was excessive, most life disappeared, but some species adapted and changed, thriving on the untouched fruits of the wasteland. Colder areas became full of life as underground species burrowed their way to the surface for the first time in many centuries. The plains always changed though, as there sometimes wasn't enough heat to equally distribute amongst the plains. However, it was decided to alternate the distribution of heat creating what is known to us as "seasons".

Soliphor
Soliphor is the primary god of the Faith of the Chromatic Sun.
