The sun
The sun is a celestial body above Sanctuary.
Lore[]
The moon sometimes moves in front of the sun, causing an eclipse.[1] Great power is said to be found in an eclipse.[2] At least some cultures have used the sun to measure time.[3]
Mythology[]
A number of tales pertain to the sun:
- In the Fable of the Great Sky-Hunt, Genai took up her bow and aimed at the sun itself. The light burned her eyes, but her arrow flew true. Wounded, the sun hid, and brought forth the first night.[4]
- In Greenslade's Tales, the sun is given male personification. It states that when the sun dipped behind the hills each night, he knew that Ashen Jack would be near.[5]
