Zin Aduro

Zin Aduro is the head of the Aperionian pantheon and represented by the Sun. Created alongside his wife, Nosbalada by The Creator, he is patron of men, knowledge, royals, and honor. Before The Earthwalker's fall, he was tended by his three servants, the Cennad.

Appearance
Zin Aduro is depicted as a striking man with dark blue skin and golden wavy hair and beard. His eyes glow with the light and warmth of the sun he represents. He dons the Apogee Cloak, which allows him to blind whoever gazes upon him with the strength of the sun. Around his neck he wears three stones, white in color, each representing one of his Cennad. Before they left his service he used the stones to call his servants to him, but in more current mythos they are said to weigh upon him, a reminder of his failings as a leader.

Cultural Differences
Zin's role varies significantly from culture to culture. In Aperion he is one of the most important gods, at the top of the pantheon and one of the most venerated figures, although he is not as widely worshiped as his wife Nosbalada. In Heruba his role is significantly smaller. Despite the fact that in Vidbeli mythos he possesses an important role, he is not a figure of popular worship.

Titles
Zin Aduro is called The God King, The Great King, He of Knowledge, and The Great Leader. He is informally referred to as Zin in everyday use, and invoking his name in this informal form along with a noun (examples include "Zin's Eyes", "Zin's Breath", or "By Zin's Beard") can be construed as swearing, although it is considered a light curse.
