Asur

Asur was the first god to emerge from Heaven. The realm of Anratha formed around him, and as subsequent gods emerged from Heaven, he gave them each a place in Paradise. He made the djinn of his own fire, and then later created the star giants with the aid of Siris. Asur was the undisputed lord of the gods until his brother secretly created the world of Yesod from fragments skimmed from the Void. Asur shattered Yesod in a jealous rage, but was in turn slain by his wrathful brother. The essence of the Firstborn was scattered across the Sea of Creation. Pieces of Asur are bound up with every world. Asur's heart lies at the center of Vala, and he is the source of the divine energy that sustains the planet. Most consider Asur a dead god, though many elves continue to revere him as the ideal of kingship, and strive to restore him to glory.
