Talus, Elder God of Light

Talus is the Elder God of the Light and Goodness. He saved the living creatures of Somara from being destroyed by Guul, and created the plane of Paradise, where good-aligned mortals are delivered after death.

Talus also is the father of Vikyn, the Shepherd of Light.

Creation of Somara
During the First Era, Valazar enlisted Talus's aid in protecting his creation from being consumed by Guul. To that end, Valazar created Vikyn, to aid him, and Paradise, a place to allow mortals to be free from death to Guul.

After Vorokar created his army of fiends, Talus and Vikyn created celestials (including the twenty-four Archangels), beings that would be able to aid them in their battle.

Sometime during the First Era, Talus had two children with Kevolah: Velia, Goddess of the Sun, and Voxia, Goddess of the Moon.

When Neket sealed the Elder Gods off from Somara, Talus was given the plane of Luminux, a plane of pure goodness, where no evil can even exist.

Appearance
Like the other Elder Gods, Talus is sealed off from the world, and as a result, cannot appear inside it while in a mortal body. Like Neket, Talus has never been known to use the Breach in the Seal, preferring not to meddle in the affairs of the mortal world. Furthermore, due to Luminox's unique composition no evil can exist in the plane whatsoever, meaning that mortals - by their nature - are not physically able to see or enter the plane.

The only clue scholars have to Talus's apperance is the Codex Archangeli, an extremely old and rare description of the Archangels of Vikyn from the First Era, which describes the Archangel Nakir as having an appearance somewhat similar to that of Talus himself. As a result, scholars believe that Talus most likely chooses to appear as a humanoid with gray hair, silver eyes, and a medium build.

Worship
Worship of Talus is nonexistent, because he does not use the Breach in the Seal to speak to or reward his followers. Instead, all those who worship the idea of goodness instead give their praise to Vikyn, Talus's successor in Somara.
