The Golden One
A figure that comes before a tragedy and saves the day. With golden features and Pelor's light they save the day before trouble even comes.
Historical Basis
Every so often Paladins do stop the day and save it before a disaster can happen, leading some to believe it was divine intervention.
Currently, the paladin Auri is filling the role of the urban legend enough that people are talking about it again.
Spread
The myth is one that is spread wide throughout Fyil Wia, though each region (and sometimes town) has their own version of what the incident was and what the knight looked like.
Variations & Mutation
The Zui region historically describes the Golden One as having golden blond hair and pale skin. The Dui region describes the Golden One as a woman. The Zhishi also see the Golden one as either a dragon in disguise or Pelor in disguise. Others insist that it is multiple people/ group of people and 'The Golden One' is a secret organization in the ranks of the Order of Pelor.
Cultural Reception
It is sometimes read as a bed time story for children, but as people keep spotting The Golden One throughout the ages and generations it is a symbol of Pelor's love and dedication to helping the small people (as the Golden one usually is said to help some villages and town).
In Literature
There is one epic poem made in 300 ASE by the famous poet Fa Muri. In it, she describes the golden one as a simple follower of Pelor that saved the Emperor from death and was blessed by both the Emperor and Pelor.
In Art
If the Golden one is depicted in Art, it is always with a golden ring around the head. Sometimes, the features (hair, eyes, skin) are gold/yellow to hint that that is the identity. the Sun is usually in the art as well, unless it is hinting that it is Pelor, then the sun is often hidden to show the relationship.
