Erithráigean

b 225, Thragia 1 (Winter Solstice, Arathracian Calendar), Bembasule, Erechóreb; d 347, Yophénthë, Erechóreb. Firstborn of Aireánnau Mother of the Folk and the god Arathrax was Erithráigean. His name means 'little Arathrax' in Classical Yophenthean. The Midretasso-Ithatian rendering of his name is Arathracius (fr. Arathrakios). The year of his birth marks the first year of the Arathracian Calendar. All High Priests of the Sun of Yophenthea were to be his direct lineal heir. According to Yophenthean records, Erithraigean lived 121 years and this was a direct result of his divine heritage. He and his seven brothers are regarded as the primary forefathers of the Arathraciot demi-mortal race. He vies for greatness as the most important Arathracian Saint with his mother.

“Invincible is Arathrax, Lord of the Swift Sun, and great are the sons of Arathrax!” Battle-cry repeated before joining battle by the warriors of the Yophenthean legions.
