Overview
Lucidus (Imperial \ˈlusəˌdəs\) is named for his connection to the domain of light. Lore about Lucidus is common and accurate, provided by Heralds, Servitors, and other Gods.
History
Lucidus was born a human man named Isaac during The Realm War. From a very young age, Isaac proved to be a charismatic leader, a perceptive general, and a courageous warrior. By the time he was a young adult, the Barigor invasion of Acrolon was at its peak. Isaac joined the resistance and proved a vital addition. He united the twelve most powerful, free city-states left in Acrolon in the Twelve Banners Campaign. His ability to lead and unite continued as the resistance spread to other realms, leading to the signing of the Shared Horizon Accord, uniting the Shard Realms against their common enemy. After the Barigor were defeated, this alliance would evolve into the Empire of Acrolon.
For his accomplishments in ending The Realm War, he was made an Exarch to the Shard God Eir. After The First Godswar, when Eir was killed, Lucidus was promoted by the Founders to be the next God of Day. He remains the God of Day in the current age.

In spite of his increased hardness, he is still a charismatic leader with an unshakable optimism.
