Talk:Dark Sun Gwyndolin/@comment-29522860-20160831194747

I noticed that the gods seem connected with the fundemental forces associated with the Light Soul of their leader Gwyn, who is a father to some, and they represent different aspects of light. Due to the light of the moon being feminine energy, yet still technically sunlight, Gwyndolin was likely a sun god. His soul, a fragment of the Light Soul and a physical manifestation of a fundemental concept, was likely the manifestation of moonlight. While he knew himself as a male sun god, his body was charged with the feminine power of the moon's rays, making him god of the moon.

As for his name "Dark Sun" I thought of three explanations.

1. It refers to the black sun of mexican myth, a deity representing a darker aspect of the day sun.

2. A dark moon is the term for a moon invisible in the day sky (it turns out that a moon along with a sun is the natural sky) and comes before a new moon. When you think about it, ancient people could have seen these two objects and called one the sun, but the other a Dark Sun instead of a moon. That would explain why he is both the dark sun and the darkmoon.

3. There is a possibility that Dark Sun simply refers to the light that the moon gives off at night, as the light is technically sunlight, serving as the sun of night.
