**Dyḗus ph₂tḗr**, also known as **Dyēus**, is the Proto-Indo-European deity of the sky and day, as well being the father god of his pantheon. He was also the first King of the Gods.

## Overview

Dyēus was worshiped by the Proto-Indo-Europeans before they came to know of the other gods, he was their main deity before the likes of Hellenism or Heathenry came. Despite his likeness being similar, it is unlikely that he was a King of the Gods. Due to his prominence in an early religion, he was an inspiration to the likes of Zeus and Týr, matching their appearance to him so that their worship wouldn't seem out of the ordinary.

Among the Proto-Indo-Europeans, the Sun was seen as the lamp or eye of Dyḗus. Dyḗus himself was seen as "all-seeing", though he probably wasn't an performer of justice. He was most likely a witness of oaths and treaties however.

Dyēus' main and major consort and wife is the Earth goddess Dʰéǵʰōm. Although they are treated as different entities, they're truly one in the same being, both making up the planet Earth.

Dyēus and the other gods worshiped by the Proto-Indo-Europeans seem likely to know what The Truth™ is.

## Appearance

When manifesting withing reality, Dyēus took on the form of a muscular human male of indeterminate race and ethnicity. He has a long beard and appears to be somewhat elderly while still having a muscular build. Sometimes he would be covered in a white cloth, however he would usually appear nude.

A better representation of his true form would be of a massive white hand with an eye in it's palm. He is surrounded by invisible feathers and winds that are still somehow visible. He appears as multiple persons when he is a true singular person.

## Personality

Dyēus was originally a tyrannical ruler who ruled over all other gods.

However, after his terrible defeat at the hand of his children, he decided to rule with neither an iron fist nor a wool glove, to be fair and balanced. He then valued truth over everything else, becoming angered easily when someone lies in his presence. Due to his presence being in almost everywhere, this would mean almost every single lie was heard by him. Despite this, he has calmed down over the years; mostly due to not wanting to interact with mortal life.

After years of not being worshiped, he eventually came to accept that certain lies (read: white lies) are necessary. Lies that benefit no one but the liar for selfish reasons however he still despises.

## Powers and Abilities

Though not much abilities is known about him though Dyēus is one of strongest primordials created by Khaos.

* **Creation**: Dyēus can mold his ideas into reality.
* **Nigh-Omnipresent**: Dyēus is **THE** Sky Father, being present wherever the sky is on Earth as well as most Heavens in existence.
* **Nigh-Omnipotent**: Dyēus is near all powerful since he can be scaled to some other strong Primordials like him and just like the other primordials he is able to reshape, create and destroy Realms, Dimensions, Timelines, Universes and even Multiverses too since after all he one of the strongest primordials who was created by the Void itself to fight God and Azathoth’s forces. He is able to heal himself whenever he is injured like when he was castrated by Cronus, Dyēus was still manage to heal himself after his overthrown.
* **Weather manipulation**: He is able to manipulate the weather while also manipulating the daylight cycle since he is the supreme sky father he has dominance over the skies.
* **Nigh-Omniscient**: Like the other primordials he is also Nigh-Omniscient, he is able to know the surroundings around him including the realms and the various mortal races that exist within the realms.
* **Reality warping**: Like any other primordial he can manipulate matter and reality with ease like no other.
* **Cosmic abilities**: He possesses various Cosmic abilities that are capable of shaking the cosmos such as destroying planets, stars, galaxies, solar systems as well as Dimensions and even an entire universe if he wanted to. He is also capable of annihilating lesser pagan deites and Old ones too.

## History

Dyḗus was born from Khaos, having been created during the battle between the three titans of Creation. After the confrontation and creation of the universe, Dyḗus was allowed to come to Earth by God.

Dyēus or Father Sky was also the brother and consort of Dʰéǵʰōm, Mother Earth.

During the times that Dyēus was in the earth he had many, many children so much with Dʰéǵʰōm and like with others deities, besides Dyēus was whordship by the humans under many names.

## Myths and Legends

### Mythology

Dyēus is the reconstructed name of a potential god that was worshiped before even the gods of Hinduism. This was done because many deities within past religions have gods that seem all to similar to each other, so it's likely they were evolutions of a previous god. And while finding the evolutionary history of biological creatures was somewhat easily done, as fossils were able to be found, most of the theological evolution we know now came from theories and conjecture. There isn't any physical evidence that Dyēus and his religion exists, but it is likely that they or something similar to them did in fact exist.

### Original

On the *Gods and Demons wiki*, every sky father deity were fused into one sky father.

## Trivia

* Theologians have equated Dyēus with Aion and Nut.
* There are some people who acknowledge that Dyēus was the original sky father of the Indo-European peoples before other gods from other Indo-European people who came afterwards.
