Zelphus

Zelphus is a figure of sorrow and hope, a horned and winged demon with a soft, sorrowful gaze. His visage is a battle between darkness and light, as though he is constantly struggling against his own nature. This struggle defines him and makes him relatable to those caught between good and evil intentions.

Once a feared Demon Lord, Zelphus grew tired of the endless cycles of evil and destruction. His thirst for goodness led him to renounce his ways and seek a path to redemption. Despite his change of heart, he finds that evil has a lingering presence around him.

Those struggling against their darker instincts, recovering criminals seeking redemption, and even some members of the clergy who empathize with the duality of good and evil worship him. His followers are few but passionate, often holding secret meetings in hidden shrines to discuss the path of redemption.

"The Twilight Penance": Zelphus intervened in a war between two rival kingdoms, stopping a demonic invasion that he inadvertently inspired. His actions led to a fragile peace and raised questions about his own nature, attracting new followers but also increasing suspicion and scrutiny.

Sir Abelar the Fallen: Once a knight who fell from grace due to his vices, Sir Abelar found his path to redemption through Zelphus. Wielding a cursed blade that he seeks to purify, Abelar is a living example of Zelphus' teachings.
