Xudur, the Radiant Father

The Light Unyielding, Beacon of Creation, Father of Dawn and Renewal

Xudur, the Radiant Father, is the god of light, creation, and renewal—an eternal beacon whose brilliance birthed the first dawn across the Stolen Expanse. He is the primal spark from which life and hope flow, the shining force that banishes shadow and ignites the fires of new beginnings. In the tapestry of the gods, Xudur is the great patriarch whose light illuminates the paths of mortals and immortals alike.

Born from the heart of the original flame that ignited the world, Xudur’s essence is pure radiance—blinding, warm, and infinite. He is often depicted as a towering figure wreathed in shimmering gold and white light, with eyes like twin suns and a crown of radiant beams that pierce the heavens. His presence fills the sky at dawn and dusk, reminding all who see him of the promise that no night lasts forever.

Worshipers of Xudur—often called the Children of the Dawn—are those who seek guidance, courage, and the strength to overcome darkness. Farmers who rely on the sun’s warmth, healers who draw on his light to mend wounds, and leaders who strive to bring justice and hope all look to him for blessings. His temples are open and radiant, often built upon hills or plains where the sunlight is uninterrupted, filled with gleaming windows and golden altars.

Xudur’s role among the Prime Gods is that of the guardian of beginnings and the eternal cycle of life and death. It was his light that helped weave the first strands of magic gifted to the mortal races, and his warmth that kindled their spirits. Even as the Veil sealed the gods away, his radiance endures—faint, yet never extinguished—guiding the lost, inspiring the hopeful, and reminding the Expanse that light always returns.

Legends speak of Xudur’s return in times of great peril, when the world seems swallowed by shadow and despair. In those darkest hours, his light will blaze anew, calling forth heroes and shining a path toward salvation.

To follow Xudur is to carry a flame within—to be a beacon of hope, a herald of dawn, and a defender of the light against the encroaching night.
