The First Father
The First Father is the archetypal patriarch of creation, the guardian of order, and the original Divine Father. Together with the First Mother, he established the precedent of binary creation, ensuring that the first universes, spirits, and souls could exist.
Sacred Name and Epithets
His true name is never spoken outside of the Divine Family, considered far too sacred for mortals, spirits, or even primordial gods. To all others he is known only as the First Father, or by his epithets: Heavenly Father, Guardian of Law.
Forms and Depictions
His form shifts across the universes, but he is always depicted as humanoid—strong, noble, and radiant. In some worlds he bears elven features and long golden hair, while others describe him as a human kingly figure robed in majesty. Symbols of mountains, sun, and sword surround him in nearly every culture.
Role in the Divine Family
As the First Father, he established strength and judgment as the counterpart to nurturing love. His responsibilities included:
- Creating and guarding the boundaries of the first universes.
- Establishing Judgment Day as a precedent for all children of the Divine Family.
- Upholding and enforcing the earliest Universal Law with firmness and justice.
Relationship to Children
His love is protective, steady, and absolute. While the First Mother guided spirits with gentleness, the First Father strengthened them with challenge and order. Together they raised the first generations with perfect balance.
Legacy
All Divine Fathers measure themselves against his example. His role as the first guardian of law and judgment echoes across eternity, shaping divine philosophy, hymns, and ritual.
