Sorveth

Daemon

Domain: sunlight, day, truth; dead cohort (Golden Age); sun deity killed when the volcanic winter blotted out the sky.

Type
Daemon

Domains: Sunlight, day, revealed truth.

Era of ascension: Golden Age of Man (~185,000 years ago). Cohort: dead. Died: God War & Long Winter (~75,000 years ago), when the Kajiit volcanic winter reduced sunlight to a fraction of its normal intensity for decades, and Sorveth's followers concluded the sun itself had failed.

Worshipped by: The solar-calendar traditions of Golden Age civilizations — those who organized agriculture, ritual, and civic life around the sun's position. No living culture maintains his worship. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)

Sorveth was, in the Golden Age, perhaps the most commonly invoked deity in daily life — a greeting to the rising sun, a thanks at noon, a farewell at dusk. The ubiquity of his worship made his collapse correspondingly total: there was no niche community to sustain him when the volcanic winter came, only millions of people who had once prayed routinely and suddenly stopped.
