Origins
Sol, the Eternal Equilibrium, emerged from the celestial realms beyond the stars at the dawn of creation. Unlike other dragons, Sol was not born of the physical world but was woven from the very fabric of cosmic energies. As the first of his kind, Sol's existence is intertwined with the fundamental forces that govern the multiverse.

Upon awakening, Sol perceived the delicate balance that governed all of creation — the interplay of order and chaos, light and darkness, creation and destruction. Feeling a profound responsibility to maintain this equilibrium, Sol took on the mantle of the Progenitor of Dragons, birthing the first dragon broods to serve as guardians of cosmic harmony.

Sol is not merely an observer; he is a guardian deity whose essence is interwoven with the very existence of Gallamarketh. His abode in the Ethereal Plane allows him to be the unseen protector, a deity whose influence is as pervasive as it is subtle, and whose commitment to balance and neutrality is as unyielding as the rising and setting sun.

Description
Sol is a massive and majestic elder dragon. His form radiates the equilibrium he embodies, standing tall against the backdrop of the cosmos. Sol's scales are imbued with the deep blue of an endless twilight sky, each one reflecting his dominion over the vast firmament. His grandeur is further accentuated by the ornate armor that graces his powerful form, crafted from gold and set with jewels that glimmer with the essence of the celestial bodies. His wings, vast and otherworldly, seem to envelop the very heavens. They are the canvas upon which the astral panorama plays, stars and nebulae dancing within their ethereal folds. The cosmic design woven into his wings speaks of Sol's ancient wisdom and his role as the keeper of celestial harmony.

Dogma
Harmony in All Things: Sol teaches that balance is the key to existence. Followers are encouraged to seek harmony within themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.

Guardians of Equilibrium: Those who venerate Sol are tasked with preserving the balance of the cosmos. They act as stewards of both the natural and metaphysical order, preventing the scales from tipping too far in any direction.

The Cosmic Connection: Sol's worshipers are taught to recognize the interconnectedness of all things. They understand that actions in one part of the universe can have far-reaching consequences, and they strive to act with awareness and purpose.

Divine Realm
Sol resides within the Ethereal Plane, a realm of mists and shifting realities that envelops the plane of Gallamarketh. From this vantage point, Sol watches over Gallamarketh with a vigilant gaze, ensuring that the balance and neutrality crucial to its existence are meticulously upheld. Sol's domain in the Ethereal Plane is a sanctum that mirrors the balance he embodies. It is a place where the fabric of reality is fluid, allowing him to observe and influence the myriad threads that connect to Gallamarketh. As the deity responsible for maintaining the neutrality of Gallamarketh, Sol is ever-watchful. His ethereal abode provides him with a clear perspective on the comings and goings within the "Center of the Multiverse." He ensures that the balance of power remains steady among the plane's diverse denizens, intervening with subtle manipulations of energy or sending omens to his chosen agents when the equilibrium is threatened. Sol is deeply invested in the harmony of Gallamarketh's inhabitants. He understands the importance of this trading hub, not just for commerce but as a crossroads for cultural exchange and the intermingling of ideas. His influence gently steers the interactions of Gallamarketh's denizens towards cooperation and mutual understanding, promoting an environment where disputes are settled through dialogue rather than conflict. The neutrality of Gallamarketh is vital to its role in the multiverse, and Sol's presence is a steadying force against the tides of chaos and order that threaten to sway it. Sol ensures that no single power can dominate the plane, preserving its status as a place where all alignments and intentions can coexist, albeit in a delicate balance that requires his constant vigilance.

Clergy and Temples
The clergy of Sol includes dragon priests and scholars who study the cosmic forces and work to maintain equilibrium. Temples dedicated to the Progenitor of Dragons are often found in remote and sacred locations, serving as places of meditation and reflection.

Rivalries
Sol maintains a neutral stance, seeking to uphold balance rather than engaging in conflicts. However, entities that disrupt the cosmic harmony or threaten the delicate equilibrium draw the ire of Sol and his followers. The deity of balance is particularly watchful of those who would upset the natural order for personal gain.

Home Sphere
Sol is bound to the Gallamarketh Sphere, whose neutrality he exists to preserve, and watches over it from his sanctum on the Ethereal Plane.
