Description
The sun is nothing more than a massive burning sphere of light in outer space that is brought to life and light by the weak force and its form composed by gravity accumulating various elements across the void. Said force also kills stars when they collapse under their own mass before dying in a supernova or collapsing into a black hole. By this sidereal life cycle, the sun is fated to die as all living things do, but its death will beget the birth of other stars. Also like all other stars, it is a sentient being. It possesses a powerful gravitational pull that draws extraterrestrial objects such as comets to orbit this star.

Locations
The Sun shines on Dota 2's Earth-like planet. It is responsible for many of the happenings of the terrestrial sphere, such as its day and night cycle among others. In truth, the moon's radiance is a result of it reflecting the sun's light.
 * Bright sunlight is one of the three elements essential to life on this planet along with breathable air and clean water.
 * Some eastern and equatorial lands are hot,  while its northernmost and southernmost reaches are almost void of the sun's warmth.

 * The four seasons―spring, summer, autumn, and winter―would not be were it not for the Sun. Its orientation with the earth causes these seasons.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
In Dragon's Blood, the Sun is far more signifcant in the grand scope of the universe. Just like all other stars, the Sun is the Worldwyrm's avatar. The Sun exists across all fifteen planes of existence and all of their infinite iterations in the multiverse, an expression of this being's omnipresence. It even exists in the hidden dimension of Foulfell.

The Sun is solely incarnated by the lineage of the Solar Throne, the incumbent God Emperor or Empress of the Helio Imperium. Chosen by the Senate, ascendants to the Solar Throne must perform the rite of tapping into their inherent divine power with the Eye. From then on, their divinity is unlocked, making them a lesser extension of the Worldwyrm's power, but still an extension of it nevertheless. Those of the Solar Throne draw power from the sun and are consequently weakened when they're beyond its presence. sidereal

Personality and Mannerisms

 * DOTA: Dragon's Blood, Book 1, Chapter 8: A Game of Chess (18:25) *Unscathed from the barrage of searing moonlight, Terrorblade gets back on his feet* Terrorblade: Selemene. The Usurper. You may take the spark, but you will only ever be a simple thief. *Following this revelation, the demon lets out his power in a blast of energy, further destroying the surrounding ruins of her temple grounds and its lotuses* Terrorblade: Your worshippers abandon you, as your primary abandoned you. Your child. Filomena. She died hating you. You know this. It rots your heart. *Forbearing her wrath, Selemene takes a deep breath and conjures glyph blades on her hands, their violent vibration a reflection of her rage* Selemene: Do not speak her name. Terrorblade: Tell me, how many Filomenas have there been? *He begins to cast his Metamorphosis spell, slowly transfigurating his form* Terrorblade: How many broken things have you taken into your embrace then cast aside, knowing you failed to care for her, knowing you chose? Selemene: He did this. He sent you. He sent you to torment me! Terrorblade: I struck a bargain. *Terrorblade conjures his twin glaives. The moon goddess rushes towards him with a cry, prompting the demon to cast Conjure Image. The resulting reflection rushes towards her to block her assault. Selemene reacts to it in time, causing an intense clash between her and his reflection* Terrorblade: Seven souls for one. Yours. *His reflection begins to self-destruct, forcing Selemene to escape its explosion. The image explodes and she flies out of the smoke while dodging Terrorblade's energy projectiles. He then uses his Reflection spell that manifests a dark reflection of Selemene beside her. It tries to grab her, but she moves out of its reach and above the massive glyph she summoned earlier. Her dark reflection pursues after her, but the glyph managed to catch and stop it from going through. With a grin, Selemene stacks even more glyphs on top of it, seemingly causing it pain. She proceeds to finish it off by materializing her edged glyph blades again and slams them onto its shoulders. Seemingly triumphant, she is suddenly shocked when she hears Terrorblade's voice behind her and speaking through her undefeated reflection* Terrorblade: Oh, poor girl. Made herself a god so she might never be alone. *Terrorblade throws her glaives at her and they both converge towards each other, trapping Selemene between them* Terrorblade: Now her shrines are dark, her armies scattered, her faithful silent. *Terrorblade delivers a devastating punch that not only sends the restrained Selemene crashing back to the temple, but also shattering her glyphs. On the brink of succumbing to fate, Selemene lies ruined amongst her defiled temple in a crater, choking on her blood* Terrorblade: Do you know what a demon calls a god who does not know worship? *Terrorblade picks her up by her skull* Terrorblade: A god who does not know love? *Terrorblade's touch sears her face and inflicts agony upon her, causing her to cry* Terrorblade: Food.

love both platonic and non-platonic (that which exists between romantic couples, yearning for someone's return, etc.) is a form of worship that fuels gods, but all worship fuels them too. used the "love magic" remaining in the doll that filomena prayed to (for her return) to restore her strength by taking it from the filomena flowers that invoker transferred selemene's powers to. as long as she has even a small piece of worship dedicated to her that's left, she can recover solely from that?
