Gaiϑāsūra (guy-THAH-soo-rah)
Indo-European Deity
Gaiϑāsūra
Gaiϑāsūra, known through Greek and Roman renderings as Goitosuros or Goetosyrus, is a Scythian solar deity whose radiance rode beside warriors and kings. Herodotus equated him with Apollo, but Gaiϑāsūra bears a sharper, more primal light—he is the unblinking gaze of the sky, the breath of the sun that stokes steppe winds and burns deceit to ash. His name echoes across nomadic hearts as protector, purifier, and omen-bringer.
Though written sources are scarce, his presence is imprinted in Scythian burial rites, golden artifacts, and war banners that bore the symbol of the rising sun. He is said to descend upon battlefields at dawn, illuminating the righteous and scorching the coward. Priests invoked him at solstice, standing in silence as hawks circled overhead—his messengers of divine vigilance.

Mental characteristics
Sexuality
He bonds through clarity and strength. His love is not soft but loyal, drawn to those who face truth head-on. Gaiϑāsūra does not romance in whispers—he chooses with vision like light through stone.
