+** Pharaoh's First Axiom, the Finality of Truth **
 Whether it be the land you walk on, or the endless sky above, all is the domain of Lord Ra, Bearer of Light. Through the divine Laws of Order, the formless darkness was given shape and meaning. Through the Precepts of Light, his divine will manifests through the faithful few who have dedicated themselves to the preservation of order, and to the final triumph over darkness.

 The Aspects of Ra deviate significantly from other deities. While other gods may have alternate forms due to how certain cultures or sects view them, Ra’s aspects are more accurately termed his avatars. These are scholars, warriors, and kings who have been chosen by Ra-prime to act as his manifestation on the material plane.

+** Mantra of the Dawn **
 First taking form at the beginning of the First Eclipsean Crusade in Cayahli, the Dawn Hawk gathered the servants of Ra and organized them into a legion to battle the children of Rudri. The Dawn Hawk is believed to be the ascended Zaran Davar, a Dahabi warrior priest that joined the Nahruli Lamplighters in their crusade against the Night. In the lands where the Ninite Church is predominant, Peregrinus is viewed as a saint rather than a deity.

 The Light Giver is a manifestation of Ra’s benevolence and care for mortal beings. He desires to shield them from the ever encroaching threat of chaos. His mission for ascension was to create a code of ethics for the followers of Ra to follow. He represents the virtues of Order, being stability, reason, and purpose. When Ra’ites are lost, they turn to Helio for guidance. The original identity of the Light-giver is unknown due to living so long ago

 ==== Tyrannus, the False Order, The Fallen Avatar of Ra ====
-Otherwise known as the ‘Torandor Ra’, this is the only ‘’fallen’ avatar of Ra. He manifested after the world of Torandor had clashed into Jaern around the year 7800 SF. The world was in great distress and thus needed a stabilizing presence to bring order. This individual would later lose their way and embrace the False Order, better known as tyranny. This avatar sought to dominate and destroy any individual that opposed him.

This avatar sought to dominate and destroy any individual that opposed him.
 This Ra’s image has long since been destroyed by the many followers of Ra. Those who still claim loyalty to this avatar are deemed heretics and are banished from the priesthood. This Ra, ironically, acts as a ‘satanic’ influence on Ra’ites as he acts as a deceiver to lure the righteous away from the True Order.

 ===== Origins =====
+//"There was once unity in light and darkness. Now that bond is broken, and retribution is the only recourse."//
+** Pharaoh's Third Axiom, The Omen of War **
 At the dawn of time, before creation was given form, only two beings truly exist. They were primordial forms of Ra and Rudri, the light and darkness of respectively. In this time, they were united in marriage and set out to shape creation in their image. It was through this union that the universe was built and existence was given meaning. However, the two gods had differing views on the nature of their creation: Ra believed the existence needed purpose while Rudri did not believe they should be the beings to determine it. This diametrically opposed nature inevitably led to conflict in the marriage of Ra-surya, an and a previous incarnation of Rudri. This separation sparked the famous conflict between Ra’ites and Rudrites, who were once considered to be one and the same.
