Welp, I couldn't settle for one god, so I decided to come up with another! And considering we have darkness, why not slap someone on the opposite spectrum on to it as well?
Name:
Hyperion | God Of Light | Lord Primarch | His Royal Majesty
Domain:
The Light
Appearance:
Standing at an imposing 3 meters tall (9'10") and covered in divine golden armor, Hyperion is nothing short in being an incredibly daunting figure even in his human form. Behind his radiating helmet and his voice of order, two glowing white eyes are all what can be seen of his face with the rest concealed within its shade. A bright halo can be seen hovering above his head and has two massive wings jetting from his back to cast shade on those unworthy to see the light that shines behind him. In fact, wherever he goes, he projects a rather bright light from his body, reminding everyone who he comes in contact with who he is.
Realm:
Terratoria, The Radiant Kingdom
Known by many as simply "The Radiant Kingdom", Terratoria is located on the highest peak of Serphrates, the island left of the main continent. Hyperion's kingdom is built around it's tallest mountain, Mt. Peratubo, covering it almost entirely with her pure-white adamantium buildings and bellowing a golden hue. It is divided into roughly twelve levels, each divided by a massive hundred foot tall wall, with the streets curving upwards towards the next level.
The lower levels (1-5) are mostly comprised of houses and farmland, as well as where the main gate is located. The mid-levels (6-8), is where most of the industrial businesses are located, with blacksmiths, coalminers, and so forth are located. Levels (9-11) is where the exceptionally wealthy are located, as well as the locations of the Senate, Military Base, and other major governmental buildings. The Final Level, (12) is where a giant citadel is located, along with "The Shining Throne" where Hyperion overlooks nearly the entire eastern portion of the island. More homes and workplaces can also be found deep within the mountain, eventually leading to it's core, where lies a massive power core that powers the entire fortress. Guard towers line across the fortified walls on nearly all levels, as well as others scattered around the surrounding mountain ranges, ever watching for invaders. All in all, it's a massive monarchal city fortress, where the light shines evermore.
In fact, any form of alienating darkness that steps foot on the island would be bombarded with a volley of radiant light, that could deter most evils and beings of dark from even stepping onto such holy and divine soils.
Biography:
Darkness. The pitch black of the unknown is a mysterious entity. So dark, so cold, so... foreboding. Most mortals are afraid of it, for it's anyone's guess at what might jump out of it. Only light can possibly peel away through the bleak shadows, providing a path for everyone to traverse safely and without fear. Yet without darkness, there can be no light, no good without evil, no happiness amongst grief, for nothing can exist if it's direct opposite does not also exist. This is what the God Of Light, Hyperion, struggles to understand as he tries to strive a balance between both he and his greatest nemesis, all whilst attempting to satiate his inner desire to bathe the entire realm in light. It's a hard thing to manage for someone with such great responsibilities to hold.
When the world first began, and when the first ray of sunlight shined upon the newly virgin lands of Tabrasa, Hyperion was born into existence. As one of the first gods to be born, his role would be to shine his divine light to every corner of the realm and to vanquish all darkness and evil from it. And for a significant portion of his life, that's exactly what he attempted to do. For it was all that he was ever told and that he only knew upon his creation. Having ordered a holy fortress to be constructed over Mt. Peratubo on the island of Serphrates, left to the main continent, he assembled a vast army of angels and other holy entities to help him on his crusade against this vile enemy. Darkness lead to evil and, according to him, it must be purged to save the world from complete corruption. Their source, Sister Oao - the goddess of darkness - will be exterminated.
But as he lead his army all around Tabrasa, the years ticking by, Hyperion's goal continued to stray farther and farther from his iron grasp. No matter what he did, how he did it, and when he did it, the darkness never completely shunned from his vision. It was always one step ahead. Whenever he would purge a dark portion with his divine light, would the shadows engulf another portion of the land. For the longest time he tried to beat the odds but eventually he had to come to terms with his predicament. His divine conquest - his quest to bring light to every portion of the realm - will never be achieved. What he had learned instead was that it all revolved around balance. Without darkness, there can be no light. And the collateral damaged that had been unintentionally caused in his wake is simply unacceptable. This was the painful truth he had to deal with. Yet even then, he was still conflicted about his duty. He still desired the world to be bathed in this holy light, one that mortals looked up too with praise, as they abhorred the darkness. They believed in his cause. The majority wanted Hyperion to win. And somehow, with their praise, there is still hope in that happening... someway... somehow...
Reluctantly suppressing his desire to purge his arch-nemesis for the meantime, he was forced to humble himself and rather than spending his time on the frontlines, he ought to tend back to his kingdom of Terratoria and establish it further. He headed home and began to focus on the problems it was suffering, tending more to the needs of the people, creating more space for homes and crops, amongst others. He made it that his kingdom would come first before anything else, for it was his duty to keep his home safe. He became more pragmatic as a result. Even then, he also attempt to make amends to the other gods around him, establishing secure relationships with his allies. Yet despite his attempts to distract himself, he never did forget about his encoded orders. Whilst he does promote the balance of light and darkness, he still wants to purge what he proclaims as "chaos" and achieve his initial goals as a whole. While the wrath his old persona is currently more akin to a slumbering beast, with notable exceptions, when it awakes, all will feel his divine judgement upon the world of Tabrasa.

The Caligati, or sometimes referred as "Angelicons", are the basic angel warriors of Terratoria. They had received basic training from their superiors and can be armed with swords, lances, axes, and virtually any weapon that requires minimal skill.
Angelic Archers who wield the power of light to create arrows of divine light to shoot from long distance. These troops are often skilled with either a regular bow or a longbow respectively, with the squad leaders wielding crossbows.
Galants are heavy-based lance units that are more heavily armored and trained compared to a regular Caligati. These lances are also special in that they are capable of unleashing a beam from the tip, useful for puncturing through enemy lines and fortifications. Despite being more armored, they are slightly slower than their faster brethren and are often seen guarded by regular caligati regiments.
Valkyries are an elite force of female angels who are known for their renowned ferocity and skill. They often fly alone or on the backs of pegasi and are clad in light-weight yet defensive armor. They are often seen wielding swords when going alone, or lances when riding their mounts.
Paladins are elite heavy units that had experienced great skill in combat. They often wear extremely bulky armor that can reflect a variety of attacks, and while they can hit extremely hard with their weapons, they are even slower than the Galants. They may also serve as lieutenants.
Magia are holy angelic mages that utilize light magic on the battlefield. They are able to conjure up a variety of spells that range from light beams, shields, etc, but their lack of armor makes them vulnerable to physical and ranged attacks.
Pacifists of war, clerics are strictly seen on the battlefield tending to the wounded and injured. They have a wide assortment of healing spells to cast upon their fallen brethren, but being unable to fight, they are vulnerable targets to the enemy. In addition, they also serve as priests that give moral boosts and prayers prior and during battle.
Inquisitors are high-ranking units that sought to vanquish chaos and heresy where it is due using extensive magical and physical weaponry. They can be seen both within massive battles and leading small squads when behind enemy lines to kill any who deem a threat to Hyperion's rule.
The Custodes are a highly elite force of warriors that guard and escort their Primarch Hyperion wherever they go without question. Equipped with powerful weapons and the most high-tech armor available exclusively by their God, only the strongest and ultimately the most worthy are selected to guard their monarch from any who dare to oppose him.
Imperators are the high generals that serve directly under Hyperion, having exemplary skill in combat and in negotiations. Below are a list of notable figures that have gained this title:
