The Dawn

The dawn was a Solar Deity of the Nibirian Pantheon. Known as the Coming Dawn, the Red Stag, and the Betrayed King, their portfolio included lust, the satisfying of personal pleasures, and vengeance. The Dawn's domains were Light and Death. Worshippers of The Dawn were known as Dawnseekers, Daemonists, or more rarely Witijos.

Description
The Dawn has many different interpretations to their physical appearance, and have taken many physical forms over the centuries. Originally the dawn was one deity that ruled over the solar realms hells, acheron, and tartarus. But during a great calamity was dethroned, and the three realms were broken up from singular rule.

Since being destroyed, the dawn shattered into two beings with a singular mind. One of an elderly wisdom, and one of a young curiosity. These are often interpreted as an elderly deer or goat man, and a young humanoid girl wearing a bloody crown.

Some interpretations display the dawn of being a great stag drenched in blood giving him a red appearance alongside a girl of the wilds, or sometimes a young clean female deer, but in all interpretations the girl wears a bloody crown.

The two are not separate individuals, but two pieces that are meant to be one. They function together and their powers and wills are intertwined.

The Dawn is also heavily associated with the sun and the spirit of sol. Hence often a red or pink sun can be seen in their symbols.

Worshipers of The Dawn have also been known to speak in hand signs. These hand signs are seemingly religious in nature, as a vast majority of runes and writings are actually written in simplified hand gestures. Often in more humanoid depictions of the dawn floating hand signs are present around him.

Realm
Originally, the Dawn ruled over the three evil-aligned Solar Realms; Hell, Acheron, and Tartarus. Acting as King and Jailer. Though during some great calamity, the details of which have been lost to the ages, the Dawn was dethroned and the three realms were thrust into a new age of independence.

Now, the Dawn's power is scattered. It has no one realm it rules over, though it does collect it's power in certain places. The dawn is said to travel between Nirvana and Abaddon, ricocheting across purgatory absorbing the astral energies to reach the material plane, rejuvenated from the experience.

The Dawn also has an oddly strong presence in the far reaches. The exact reason why is unknown, but in the rare settlements within the shadowfell many cults of the dawn can be found, and some that one should consider a full-blown religious order. As well, there are many evil-inclined fey that take to worship of the red stag, in spite, or perhaps to spite, the archfey and their courts of seasons. There is a sizeable area in the Beastlands that has been held by the dawn's corruption. You can tell when there are an unusual amount of deer, elk, and goats in the area alongside the corpses of their would-be predators.
