Auros
From Wessexwiki
Auros is the Sun God of Mercia.
"As long as man could see the world and speak the words of prayer, he has worshipped Auros. Mercians arose from the wives of the Father when he bore our 144 ancestors that we trace a lineage to today. Since that creation, we have been His. Never forget that our flesh, our souls, all our works are His, and he may reclaim us whenever it suits His needs. In the dawn of our creation the Father did not coddle us because He knew our strength must rise from travail.
Today, Auros' covenants ensure we lead our lives in obedience to His priests who themselves remain obedient to the Laws of Truth. We offer daily prayer in recognition of our Father so that He will never be forgotten, lest we lose all and surrender our rightful dominance over beast and wilderness. This was the birth of the Sacred Flame within the Diocese of Wessex, a single never ending fire that burns in every church, uniting them as one, and maintains our promises. Villages arose and some that survived became the cities of today.
You may think I dwell too long on ancient times, but heed me well. You must feel in your bones and sinew that we are part of a sacred covenant with our Father from the dawn of mankind. The ills of this world arise from those who have forgotten or shamelessly abandoned the first and most important promise. Auros was and is our Father, and He gave us everything we required to foster civilization and thrive. He left us here on Agon but left His priest in His place. Time passed." - Theodric, Bishop of Wessex
