Sacred Texts of Sol and Devon

The Book of Sol – “The Light Eternal”

A sacred scripture followed by worshippers of Sol, including Rita Faros and Faro Faros. It speaks of righteousness, fire, and the power of the sun to banish darkness.

Key Verses:

“In the dawn of all things, Sol ignited the heavens, and from His fire, life was born. The sun shall burn eternal, and so shall those who walk in His light.”
“Beware the shadow that creeps where the light does not reach. For in its void, Devon waits, whispering lies to those who falter.”
“The warrior of Sol wields justice like a blade, his soul a flame that never dies. He shall rise when darkness seeks dominion.”

The Codex of Devon – “The Void’s Whisper”

A forbidden text, carried by those who serve the darkness. Murder Dog, as Devon’s champion, may have this knowledge imprinted in his very being.

Key Verses:

“Before the sun, there was only the void, and in the void, I am eternal.”
“Flesh is weakness. Bone is truth. To be stripped of flesh is to be freed from the lies of Sol.”
“There is no peace, only silence. There is no light, only illusion. In Devon’s name, we tear away the veil.”

The Prophecy of Fire and Void

A passage recorded in both texts, but interpreted differently:

The Book of Sol claims a warrior of light shall rise and cast Devon back into the abyss.
The Codex of Devon speaks of a champion who will consume the sun itself, leaving the universe in endless night.

The Prophecy of Sun and Bone

Carved into the ancient monoliths of Thundarr Forest, a prophecy foretells the clash of two chosen warriors—the Falcon of Sol and the Bone Reaper of Devon. It speaks of a time when light and darkness shall wage war through their mortal champions, and the fate of Planet Thundarr will be sealed by their final battle.

The Words of the Prophecy

“When the Sun’s heir rises with fire in his soul,
And the Hound of the Void walks with a skull,
The world shall tremble, the heavens shall weep,
As light and shadow in battle shall meet.”

“One wields the flame, one wields the night,
One shall burn, one shall bite.
If the sun falters, darkness shall reign,
If the bone shatters, light shall remain.”

“Seek the lost blade, seek the dawn’s might,
For only the Sunblade can end the night.”

The Meaning of the Prophecy

The Falcon of Sol – This refers to Faro Faros, the current Falcon, chosen by Sol to carry his will and defend Thundarr from darkness.
The Bone Reaper of Devon – This refers to Murder Dog, whose fleshless skull and devotion to Devon make him the bringer of darkness.
The Sunblade – An ancient weapon lost to time, said to contain the last flames of Sol. Only it can defeat Murder Dog once and for all.

What This Means for the Story

Faro must seek the lost Sunblade – The prophecy hints that Falcon’s current power alone may not be enough to defeat Murder Dog. He must find this divine blade before the final confrontation.
Murder Dog’s rise will shake the world – As the champion of Devon, Murder Dog’s existence signals a coming war between the forces of light and darkness.
A possible fate for Faro – If he fails to stop Murder Dog, the prophecy suggests that eternal night could fall over Thundarr.

Mr. Clown’s Philosophy: The God of Wealth

He believes power is real, and gods are myths.
He sees faith as a weakness that keeps people from taking what they want.
His only “divine” force is wealth, which he believes can buy anything—even fate.

His View on Faro and Murder Dog:

He laughs at Faro’s faith in Sol, calling him “a fool fighting for a sky that doesn’t care.”
He sees Murder Dog as madness incarnate, an unpredictable force that money cannot control.
He wants to rule Thundarr City with absolute authority, treating everything—including human lives—as commodities.

Mr. Clown vs. the Prophecy:
The prophecy speaks of a battle between light and darkness, but Mr. Clown stands outside of it. He represents a third force—greed, corruption, and the power of man over gods.

Cal Faros’ Philosophy: The Satisfaction of Doing Good

He does not pray to Sol like Faro.
He does not serve Devon like Murder Dog.
He does not worship wealth like Mr. Clown.
Instead, he fights crime because it feels right—not because of prophecy, destiny, or divine will.

Cal vs. the Prophecy

He does not believe in fate, but the prophecy speaks of a coming war.
He seeks justice on his own terms, but will he be forced to choose a side?
He helps others for his own satisfaction, but will he ever find true purpose beyond that?

Cal’s uncertainty makes him unique. He isn’t a blind follower of faith, nor is he corrupted by power. He walks a lonely middle path, making him both a wild card and a potential key player in the future of Thundarr.
