Gwyn's Firstborn Son

Gwyn's firstborn was an unknown god of war, and eldest son of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.

As firstborn, he "inherited the sunlight", once wearing an ancient ring capable of boosting the strength of miracles. His foolishness led to a loss of the annals, and was severely punished by his father. He was stripped of his deific status, and Gwyn decreed that he should suffer the same fate as the annals, ordering all statues and depictions of him to be destroyed, and his name to be forgotten.

He wielded a specific miracle called Sunlight Blade, which had the power to boost a weapon with "rays of the sun" in form of lightning. A skill that was very effective against dragons, it was left this on Gwyn's coffin after the firstborn was stripped of his deific status. This miracle is similar to the Lightning Spear, and the Great Lightning Spear is referred to as "the weapon of the God of War", citing him as the heir to the sunlight powers of Gwyn. It is also mentioned that the firstborn "had respect only for arms, and nothing else."
