Leoshi

Notes

God of the Sun in ancient Aphroditian religion, worshipped by thousands upon thousands

Often portrayed with golden, lengthy wair, wrapping around his body, a tall, wide frame, with black tattoos around their arms and legs

appearance changes depending on who you ask, but they are almost always portrayed with a tattoo of an eclipse on their forehead

Deemed as one of the most powerful dieties in ancient aphroditian religion

Had a relationship with Suresata and Serebu, the other two deities that helped form the universe

had six hundred children with suresata, and five with Serebu. Leoshi only loves two of his children, one of each. the rest were cast out and left to fend for themselves

Leoshi had roughly a hundred thousand followers and worshippers, and leoshi shrines are the most common found in archeological sites

shrines would typically feature one or more statues and carvings of leoshi themself, yellow moss, golden flowers and other trinkets

Leoshi birthed the centre of the world, growing a flower and letting it bloom. Venus was born from the centre of the flower, and suresata removed the petals to form the stars

some ancient aphroditians believed in cytherocentric orbit, with Venus in the middle and everything else orbiting it

others believed in heliocentric orbit, and that Leoshi formed the sun from the flower

leoshi is still worshipped in the current day, but by very few who have taken a shine to ancient aphroditian culture

leoshi is one of the only deities still recognised and supported from ancient aphrodite
