Phos

Phos is the great and good god worshipped by the Videssians and many of the people whose lands have been subjugated by them. The center of Phos-worship is in Videssos the City, where the Patriarch sits.

According to Videssian theology, Phos, who will eventually be victorious, is in constant combat with Skotos, the source of all evil. The Halogai, however, have an heretical version of this theology which claims that Skotos could defeat Phos.

Phos' name was originally Phaos, however a vowel shift which occured around the time of the Avtokrator Maleinos II changed the pronounciation to the more modern Phos.
