Valinos (vah-LEE-nos (/vɑ.ˈliː.nos/))

Within the Primortal pantheon of cosmic deities, there is Valinos, a figure of profound influence and benevolence. Born of Janek and Mytr, he is one of two brothers, each with their unique domain and role in the grand cosmic narrative.     Valinos, a deity of unparalleled virtue, kindness, and compassion, is the embodiment of unwavering goodness in all its forms. He stands as a protector of humanity, opposing malevolent forces that threaten the world and all that is good and just. Radiating with golden light, he symbolizes the essence of righteousness and kindness, an enduring beacon for those who seek to emulate his virtues.   He is often described as a radiant figure, a beacon of light, or even likened to the sun itself. Valinos, however, does not actively engage in the affairs of mortals. Instead, he relies on his devoted helpers, Kona, Guyan, and Yemoja, to carry on his divine work. These three steadfast companions embody aspects of Valinos' benevolence and serve as the conduits through which his mission is fulfilled.   The legendary conflict between Valinos and his brother, the god of evil, Neckrom, is no mystery. Its details are chronicled in the sacred Book of Whispers, kept by the followers of Valinos' companions. This protracted and fierce battle was eventually halted by their father, Janek, a turning point in the cosmic struggle of good against evil. The conflict left Valinos in a state of repose. There are some more secretive groups that believe that when he awakes all good things will have power over evil.   Some speculate that Valinos has transcended his physical form and become an influence within the cosmos, That he is the Sun. A notion that elicits skepticism from many. Nonetheless, the story of his slumber prevails as the enduring narrative, offering solace to those who look to him as a symbol of goodness and hope.   In reverence to Valinos, shrines are established in significant locations within sacred structures. These shrines serve as a constant reminder of his presence and as an everlasting source of inspiration for those who aspire to follow the path of compassion, kindness, and justice that he represents.   There is only one sacred temple dedicated to him.
