Sol

Sol was a being of immense power that roamed the universe until it stumbled upon the lifeless planet of Ayr. Sol immediately became enamored with the world but despaired that there would be no other living beings to inhabit such a beautiful place. As such, Sol sacrificed itself, shattering its being into trillions of fragments, each containing an aspect of its living consciousness. These fragments, known as Breath, flow all over Ayr, creating life.

The dominate religion of Ayr believes in the creator deity Sol, and prophesizes that Sol will one day return in an event called the Harvest, where it will bring upon judgement upon the world and its residents.

In a sense, Sol can be thought of in terms of the Watchmaker Analogy: A god who created life by sacrificing its own, fashioning the whirring cogs out of its own bones and setting them into motion with its dying breath. Sol simply wounded the clock, and never remained to see how the machine continues to tick over the millennia.
