Theuderic Mac Arailt was an ancient philosopher and founder of the [[Unified Society of the Azure Sun|Society of the Azure Sun]] in Allion. He also penned the first sacred text of the now Unified Society; [[Unified Society of the Azure Sun|The Ascar Testament]].

== History ==

=== Founding of the SAS ===
The Society of the Azure Sun is thought to have been founded in Ascar, a region now known as The Invaded, over 1600 years ago by Theuderic mac Arailt. Theuderic was a philosopher who pondered and wrote texts on the meaning of life and its origin. After a particularly intense session, he claimed he had a vision of a tall thin creature of seemingly alien descent. This creature taught Theuderic of the existence of Aziel and pushed him to spread what he had learned with other mortals. Theuderic believed this to be Aziel herself, however he later renamed the figure to “The First Sage” in The Ascar Testament, realising that it was some form of messenger.

=== Spread of the SAS ===
Theuderic spread his teachings quickly, proving the existence of Aziel scientifically through demonstrations with plants and animals. As smaller groups of Aziel worshippers were found, Theuderic let them worship as they wished. Groups that worshipped counter beliefs however got harsher treatments. These groups were marked as ''sordid'' meaning they were traitorous, immoral, and dangerous to the cause of life, and brought about one of the main tenets of the Azure Sun: For life to survive forever, those who wanted its end needed to be removed from it. Only then would eternal life be secured. The “anti-life” groups were quickly killed by Theuderic’s followers in the name of preserving the cause of life.

=== The Ascar Testament ===
Theuderic mac Arailt penned the society’s beliefs in his self-proclaimed sacred text “The Ascar Testament” circa 100 B.W. In it, he described the sun in the vision he had as “azure, infinte, galactic”, and drew on this image for the name of the society. Followers see the sun as the ultimate symbol of rebirth and believe that once the Great War ends the suns across the planes will turn azure as a sign from Aziel to show victory, like in Theuderic’s vision.
