[A tropey-sounding story, haha!]
Long ago, when the Morning-god, Ramn Surdur, tried to destroy the world, He was bound into the Shadow of Heaven by the power of the Firelights. For thousands of years, in the City Under Heaven alone, these lights burned to uphold the Shadow. But a crisis of war arose that threatened our protection with extinction, whereafter the Firelights ignited themselves anew elsewhere, to strengthen their purpose to the last. So it was that the City Under Heaven lost splendor and influence, until this very day...
[Deviant element: the doctrine of the antagonist, here, revolves around a quasi-stigmatic image of the Atonement. I.e. there is a supreme evil, the actual nature of, or precursor to, the Morning-god, but this was not originally some primordial malice as such, but instead the theory was that the Atonement wrought by the ancient Savior required the Savior to suffer the bridge-analogies of the final offenses themselves, to wit rape, torture, and murder, at the hands of at least one individual person. So, the deviant element is that to save the world by suffering in its place, the ancient Savior had to be tortured and murdered, but also raped, and the one who raped the Savior was transformed by this action into Ramn Surdur or its predecessor/source/lord... How to integrate the Christian theme here with the prologion-theme of the Shadow-binding, IDK yet. I don't even have any actual characters haha!]

[Why/how are the bridge-analogies keyed to the final offenses? If my theory is right, like so:
Rape-murder :: romantic injustice
Torture-murder: recursive disgrace
Rape-torture: transcendental delusion
Therefore the most evil mystical action-types correspond to the most evil physical ones, in pairs. This is not necessary to prove that rape, torture, and murder are wrong; but it might be needed to prove that these are wrong in a way that theft is not, for instance (much capitalist propaganda regarding the merits of 'property' notwithstanding).]
[Why, though: rape is clearly unjust in relation to romantic affairs; and Apollyon makes use of rape to fuel the process of universal desolation in murder, so... But recursive disgrace, as the superficial concept of Hell/eternal damnation, rests more on torture as such than rape at all [we don't think that Apollyon, or God the Father, molests those in Hell, do we?], and transcendental delusion, as requiring the dissolution of the mind, is reflected in the living trauma of rape/torture survival.]

OK, new formula:
The divine nature exists in at least two forms in this reality, relative to the concept of creation simpliciter versus creation as destruction-of-destruction. The Morning-god is the creator as the second, and the bridge-analogies of the final offenses are destruction-like forms (inclusive of pure murder as such).
It's possible there might be a third divine form, creation-of-destruction/destruction-of-creation (reducible to each other via moral logic), but IDK what its name/title would be (the Day-god, maybe, haha!). And this might be the being who assaulted the ancient savior (who I no longer have as raped: rather, that might be the problem, that the Shadow of the Morning-god's seal is keyed only to two of the bridge-analogies, which allows the Day-god to issue forth more of its dark work in the time of the story).
