Sentos

Sentos is the Spirit of the Sun and Light. Sentos is often closely associated and sometimes confused with Etheros, another spirit. While they are similar, the two spirits are quite different, and serve different purposes. Sentos is literally the sun and is very ancient, being one of the first beings in the universe, and daily Sentos moves across the sky brandishing his light upon the world. Etheros is more akin to daytime and warmth, what the sun causes on the land: day, growth, and light. Sentos is very powerful and it is said that he was the first spirit to be made after the primal spirits. Issus Pax crafted Sentos himself.

Ironically enough, despite his wonderful colors and light, Sentos is blind and cannot see his way. It is told in the legends that Sentros burned his eyes out after existing for untold years. He was too bright even for himself. Etheros, who spends half of the day with his parent spirit: aqua, and the other half of the day taking Sentros across the sky, is the cause of the day/night cycle. During the day he leads the blind Sentos across the sky, but during the night, he leaves Sentos to be with Aqua.

People don’t usually worship just Sentos or Etheros, they usually worship both of them at the same time. Their most devout followers usually wear gold and silver chains around their necks, as it is believed to trap the energy of the sun and protect the wearer.
