Aodin

Considered, along with Balnor, to be the most powerful of the Ishta, Aodin is thought of as the patron of humankind. Many people have many interpretations of all of the Ishta, but Aodin is typically viewed as the designer or architect of creation. In many cultures he has a connection to the sun, which is often used in his iconography. He is usually depicted as being locked into an eternal battle with his brother Balnor in the struggle between light and darkness, protecting his people from the atrocities created by the Unspoken.
