Aros (god)

Aros is both the name of the planet where Elendar is located and the name of the deity whose physical manifestation is said planet.

History

Aros was the first of the younger gods. The star gods were older, far older, and gave birth to the planets and their moons. Saristi, the greatest of the star gods, gave birth to Aros first. His brothers and sisters are the other planets in the Saristinian system.

Saristi also gave birth to Aras, as a companion to Aros. With her waters and Aros' fertile earth, life could flourish. The first intelligent beings they gave birth to were the dragons. They were the caretakers of the planet in the beginning. But then came the elves, their brothers and sisters, and then the dwarves and gnomes. The humans and halflings came after. It wasn't until much later, in the Second Age of Aros, that the dragons created their morikar.

Worshippers of Aros

Aros is considered to be an old deity and somewhat quaint. He still has many worshippers among the barbarian tribes of the Horse Plains and along the isolated western shores of Elendar.
