Heart of Asur

The Heart of Asur lies at the center of Vala. Anyu, child of the Moon and Sun, coiled around the Heart to seize its power and hide it from other hungry spirits. Considering the sheer size of Creation, and all the purported world-shards that drift amid the stars, it is unlikely that the singular heart of the Dead Sun is contained in Vala. Instead, the Heart is likely a particularly large concentration of Asur's anima, and mystics refer to it as the Heart to distinguish it from the other, lesser fragments of Asur's power. Then again, considering the Dead Sun was a being of cosmic proportions, he might very well have had many hearts, though no doubt mythographers would say this was too literal minded. In any case, when the Heart of Asur is referred to, it describes the greatest concentration of his powers bound into Vala. The Heart is the source of the world, and through Anyu its powers are shared with her children, and all the spirits that cling to them.
