Principius

Principius is one of the Regulus, and the god responsible for the death and judgement of all living things. He is one of the Regulus, the four great beasts which watch over Aminus, and lover of Caelestis. He is not all-powerful, but has the ability to twist the fates of all living beings, to put good or bad in their path according to their actions, and to escort the dead to the afterlife. Although he is in charge of bringing justice upon those who wrong others and in charge of bringing about death, Principius is a kind and just god.

Story
Principius was created by Aminus, along with Caelestis and The Sherdalud, in order to take care of the newly created life on the planet, as well as take care of a memory-wiped Aminus. Principius was serious about his job from the beginning, delivering justice upon those who needed it and escorting the dead away from life, judging them for their sins and good works. His job remained undisturbed, and he never strayed from his work. His duties were what made him happy and he felt that it was all he would ever want out of life. However, a smitten Caelestis kept on visiting him, walking from the Origin Spire to the Temporal Spire, all the way on the other side of the world. At first Principius was ambivalent to her approach. He didn't mind when she came, but encouraged her not to stray from her duty as a regulus. As she continued to visit, Principius began to feel something for her, and eventually, the two became lovers. Principius did not abandon his duties, as his lover did, but was guilt-stricken when she was taken away for abandoning her mission. He continued delivering death and justice, although he was harsher in punishments and judgements, due to his own pain. He didn't realize that Caelestis had struck a deal with Aminus, until she finally returned to live with him. In their joy, the two of them conceived two children, Aliturious and Deryaeous. Although Caelestis was mainly responsible for the thousand-year Golden Age, Principius also played a part. People and animals alike lived longer, they led fuller lives, and Principius forgave the sinful far more easily. When his children were finally born, he was still overjoyed, but realized that he would need to assume his duties properly again.

Principius was not directly involved in the war between Aliturious and Deryaeous, simply watching and sometimes trying to put an end to their great war. In the end, when Aliturious was victorious, he was the one who helped to banish Deryaeous to his Sea Spire, and sink it, causing him to be forgotten. He claimed to Aliturious that he would kill Deryaeous as she had wanted, but not wanting to kill his own son, he placed him in a deep, safe slumber in the Sea Spire, peacefully dreaming until the time came for him to awaken again.
