Horus Khein

Description

Horus Khein is a god of radiant light, justice, and protection, and the divine ruler of The Khein Dynasty. Known as the God-King, he stands as both a mortal and divine sovereign, embodying the sun’s brilliance in his towering form. His radiance is said to repel the most powerful demons and evil forces, and his presence alone inspires courage among his followers. In art and scripture, he is often depicted as the sun made manifest, either as a radiant humanoid king or as a majestic lion of blazing light, symbolizing his authority and divine protection.

Horus is revered not only for his martial and political might but also for his guidance of souls. His devout followers believe that he safeguards their spiritual essence, and the most faithful are promised reincarnation, a reward for a life of virtue and loyalty. This dual role—as protector of both the physical and spiritual—cements his worship as central to the Khein Dynasty and other regions under his influence.

Though feared by enemies for his wrath and judgment, Horus is beloved by his people as a beacon of hope. Secret among mortals is that he is the divine brother of Pharados, the Silver Prince of the Silver Dominion—a fact carefully hidden to prevent unrest among his subjects..

History

Arrival and Foundation of the Khein Dynasty

Horus arrived on Midora at the dawn of the Second Age, appearing to desert tribes as a giant wreathed in radiant fire—the living sun. Though initially met with skepticism, he quickly demonstrated his power by confronting and overcoming the cults of Rhaaga, who had long dominated the region with night demons.

The city of Khar’Azar met its catastrophic end as Horus began his campaign to free the desert lands from Rhaaga’s dark influence. Once a proud bastion of the abyssal goddess, Khar’Azar could not withstand the relentless advance of Horus and his divine radiance. The city was utterly destroyed, erased from the desert as if it had never existed. In the centuries that followed, its sudden disappearance became the source of countless myths and legends, and the precise location of its lost ruins remains a mystery to this day.

Through leadership, charisma, and divine intervention, Horus united the desert tribes and banished Rhaaga to the core of the abyss, founding the Khein Dynasty. Since that time, he has ruled with justice and strength, establishing a civilization devoted to his worship and the protection of Midora.

Conflict and Divine Leadership

Horus’ reign has been marked by campaigns against both mortal and supernatural threats, including incursions from rival deities and the forces of the Silver Dominion. Through these conflicts, he has cemented his role as both protector and judge, demonstrating the might of his divine light and the authority of his law. His interventions are both strategic and moral, reinforcing the Khein Dynasty’s status as a theocratic and militarized civilization.

Personality

Horus is a just, stern, and disciplined god-king. He values order, loyalty, and righteousness, yet he does not shy from harsh judgment or military action when required. While compassionate toward his faithful, he is unyielding in enforcing laws and traditions, reflecting his dual nature as both divine ruler and god of protection. His guidance is sought for both civil and spiritual matters, and his wisdom is considered absolute.

Worshipers

The faith of Horus Khein is deeply woven into the Khein Dynasty’s culture. While other deities are acknowledged, Horus’ worship is supreme. Key groups include:

• Executioners of Light: A military order of paladins and clerics devoted to enforcing Horus’ will openly on the battlefield, known for unwavering loyalty and martial excellence.
• The Obsidian Sons: Shadowy zealots and assassins, enforcing Horus’ will through fear, subterfuge, and covert operations.

The faithful believe that service to Horus guarantees soul protection, and the most devout are promised reincarnation. Followers are often strict in their moral conduct, and those who reject or oppose Horus’ faith are treated with suspicion or moral condemnation.
