Ophion is god of the sun, who bears Lord Ptharos’ Light of Truth across the heavens to light the world in his flaming chariot. His priesthood is surprisingly small, particularly considering his popularity among the masses. Ophion is typically depicted as a vibrant and extremely attractive young man riding his chariot and holding aloft the Light of Truth. He encourages his followers to be fair with one another in all things and to avoid deception whenever possible. Though he espouses the virtues of peaceful conflict in all its forms, he is relentless in his hatred of the undead and amongst his faithful are some of the most dangerous undead-hunters to roam the lands.
Ophion's lay followers include messengers, soldiers and young men, though his favored followers are his athletes. Ophion and Phemos are loyal to one another when faced with an enemy, though their competitions are legendary. Ophion was once wed to Melpomene, Goddess of Clouds, but began to pursue the beautifully mad Luna across the heavens and eventually married her. Melpomene has done her best since then to obscure the light that Ophion carries, though she is still willing to ally with him against the forces of true darkness.
