Akkan (Nisani Pantheon)

A sun deity. Akkan created the world by illuminating the concept which was then set into motion by the wind goddess, Tairela, and planned by the time goddess, Larsa. He is also revered for giving (or illuminating) the possibility of magic, although he is not usually considered the source of it, and most traditions tend to frame it as Akkan making mortals aware of this potential already within themselves.

He and Tairela are considered by most Nisa to be the direct ancestors of the Aladum Nai'du, or Original Tribe from which all Nisa and even Sidu'ati (lit. "Traitors", referencing primarily Zathryans but also any outsiders to the Nisa) are descended.

Some tradition hold that the ancestors are Akkan and Larsa, but those are uncommon.

Akkan's Vengeance
Taking the form of a scepter topped with a glowing, hollowed out star, Akkan's Vengeance is purported to be an artifact bearing a fragment of Akkan's omniscient conscience, however it has not been seen for near enough over 1,700 years when it disappeared after the Year of the Vanishing City. Scholars from the academy in Valence attempted to study the staff but were not able to glean much from it aside from that the object housed an incredible amount of power and matched vague descriptions found in fragmented Nisani lore of the staff signifying the power of the sun ancestor.
