The Great Sun was the original celestial body of the Shadow Slave world, linked to the Sun God. Its light bathed the pre-Cataclysm world and sustained the cosmic order of the Seven Gods.
Disappearance
After the Cataclysm and the pantheon's fracture, the Great Sun darkened or weakened. The sun humans see today is but an echo of that original star, a diminished substitute.
Symbolism
- Light -> lost divine order
- Warmth -> withdrawn protection of the gods
- The absence of the Great Sun signals the end of the gods' golden age
Narrative Link
The Great Sun is evoked in several cosmological revelations (Vols 7-10), often as a lost reference. Nephis's quest to bring back the light — her personal arc — echoes this theme.
