#sol lore time

And to start off, with an earlier point of Sol's story - Azem. I would not be writing too much (as I fear to loose my own thought), but the basic aspects of his will be enough for this, I think xD

"A desiccating wind of heat, Notus was associated with the storms of late summer and early autumn, wetness, mist, and was seen as a rain-bringer". (from Wikipedia)

His name is Notos (aka Notus, one of the wind-gods, god of South Wind from Greek mythology):

and he does embody that free wind spirit, as well as the storm aspects of it. He was born with the desire to explore the world in both aspects - physical and aethereal. One of his main fields of study was understanding the nature and composition of Etheirys, which was mainly done with a variation of aether sight, which was closer to projecting your mind out of your body via it, by looking. And looking. At everything. Trying to understand the origin and nature of all things on the planet.

And Notos did excel at that, having enough strength and mental fortitude for this. Until one time, instead of looking inside the planet and organisms on it, he stole a glance... outside of it, just a glimpse. A tiny glance at the cosmos surrounding them. It left him fascinated. Mesmerized. Wanting to take one more look at it. And there was just so much to look at.

And so, he couldn't stop himself from doing just that.

His study shifted to trying to understand that great beyond, the energy, the stars, the galaxies, the movements of them all by watching and trying to understand it all, relentlessly. And he did just that, using his very soul and mind to Look. Until. Something Looked Back at him.

It was something so... incomprehensible, so Existing and Not, There and Not There, simultaneously. Something that one glimpse of was enough to shatter/not shatter his mind. It left his mind a mess, a cracked one, that changed him forever, as once he saw something, he couldn't stop seeing more of that everywhere he looked at, oozing through the walls of reality, and warping the linear flow of time for him.

And that in itself led him to being able to get flashes, memories of the horrific future, though with no control over them. They were so chaotic and random, that it forced him to withdraw from the active Convocation work. Starting his great work of trying to piece together tiny puzzles of ten thousand years of history of his future incarnations/shards ahead. And hoping that whatever he managed to put together will hold true, and some of his contingencies will come to pass, even as he was working on tiny crumbs of information.

And when the Sundering was imminent, Notos came to realize that, unless he does something, his accursed vision will pass onto his many future reincarnations, bringing them death and pain of Knowing and Seeing. So his last decision was to cut out that part of his soul, that is responsible for it, and seal it. And what is the best place for sealing it? His own soul of course. So, minutes before the sundering took hold he did just that, sealing a small part of himself in the soul that was left to live on on the Source.

In itself that action made the sundering not equal in parts for him, so that part that was supposed to be on 13th was nothing more than a soul of a small animal at best (later unknowingly rejoined with the main body, by a simple proximity to the greater part of rejoined soul).

And so this finally brings us to Sol lol

But as this post is getting longer and longer I'll just point out a few parts for now, specifically considering that one comic: after rejoining with another shard (ardbert) Sol started getting strange... visions, or perhaps memories of a world unsundered, like an echo, but stronger, more personal. More Familiar. Leaving him longing for people he doesn't know or remember anymore, or, perhaps, never knew to begin with. It left him lost, and after suffering a great injury at the end of the universe and "dying" (he got did die,but got better), he got the chance to see that seal inside of his soul. The Seal that became more obvious with every rejoining of the soul that happened, and thus, a bit more conscious.

A meeting of Past and Future, for a few moments.

and perhaps this is where I stop, for now haha

there is lot I have come up with for Sol's lore, including tragic younger years, him being aimless in in his life until joining Scions, gained friends and skills and so on. So if there will be interest I will write more in the future, as I'm mentally spent right now of words
