Orphion

"Light... Dark... We oppose. I am light. It is dark. Our places reflect this land...and it is plain- The sun is setting. Light is fading."

- Orphion

Orphion is the beast of Light, akin to the beast of darkness, the Dern Beast. Orphion serves a major role through the Realm of Light questline, aiding the player and showing them what to do for Orphion.

Biography
Orphion is the beast of the Realm of Light, and is there to maintain balance between the forces of Dern and Light respectively. It has chosen Lari to help find a cure to the Decay in Gavel, which Lari has rightfully done. However, Lari made a huge mistake for Orphion, she thought the Light was about morals, while in reality, it is more about doing what's right. Orphion looks to a new servant of his, the player, when they arrive in Gavel.

Gameplay
Orphion chose the player for their deeds across the province of Gavel, and truly shows Orphion that the player does what is right, not letting their emotions choose their judgment, and also calling the player, their Pulse.

Realm of Light II - Taproot
Orphion is shown to take a lot of interest in the player, as the player is witnessing a moral dilemma between Dr. Urelix and the Mayor of Olux, mainly about the Iron Golem Factory. Orphion presents the player with 3 choices, leave, and let fate decide the outcome, kill Urelix, which shuts down the factory, but leaves the provinces of Gavel and Wynn in ruins, and kill the Mayor, which prevents all forces from stopping the factory, keeping Wynn and Gavel safe. After killing the Mayor, Orphion deems the player worthy of his light. Lari, furious at the fact that the player goes into the Taproot but not her, begins to doubt Orphion. However, Orphion tells the player to leave her be, and for the player to see the decline of the Olux Swamp and the Dark Forest. As the player progresses through this memory of the land, Orphion then lets the player see the Equinox, the beginning of the Decay. The player then sees Lari and the Darkness Parasite fight each other, and Orphion then explains to the player that Lari, being conflicted by her heart and mind, spared the eldritch creature.

Realm of Light IV - Finding the Light
In Realm of Light IV - Finding the Light, Orphion shines his light at the Guardian of the Forest's roots, saying to the player that they and Lari must know something. After the player gets a scroll from the church of Cinfras, Lari then tells the player that she can prove herself to Orphion by simply getting the Canned Abis plant on her own. Orphion tells the player that her light will illuminate nothing, and that Lari needs the player's light as well. After the player arrives at the Guardian of the Forest with Lari, also having the Canned Abis plant, Lari becomes outraged at the fact that the player has replaced her as the Servant of Light, and thus, she either nearly dies by the player's hand, or she nearly kills the player, or the Guardian of the Forest will stop both of them. The Guardian of the Forest then later explains to Lari that morals alone are not what Orphion stands for, and the Guardian shows the player a depiction of the War of the Realms, and how if the Realm of a certain force is fading, then that province will experience a reflection of the effects. After the Guardian of the Forest sends the player on the way to the Great Stump, Orphion tells the player that them and Lari must enter the portal to the Realm of Light itself.

Realm of Light V - The Realm of Light
In this quest, the player learns of Orphion's actions to keep the Realm of Light safe from the fate of the fading of light, by severing the connections to his Nexus of Light, he can contain the spread of the fading. After Lari and the player restore light to both of the monoliths, Lari and the player head to the Nexus of Light, but on their way there, they are interrupted by the servant of Dern, Bak'al. Bak'al and Lari fight each other, and the player will progress to the front of the grand palace. After Lari nearly defeats Bak'al with a sword of light, Bak'al then manipulates Lari's heart, letting her rage interrupt her logic, and thus, Lari, out of spite, sent both her and Bak'al to the Realm of Darkness.

Ne du Valeos du Ellach
In the Ultimate Discovery of the Light Forest, the player sees dialogue between Orphion and the Dern Beast, with Orphion claiming that the Dern Beast's insufferable desires will bring the end to the Physical Plane, while the Dern Beast claims that it will truly bring balance to the War of the Realms, stating that it is endless, as the player sees Orphion becoming infected with The Parasite.

Orphion's Nexus of Light
In the Nexus of Light, all of the creatures there are tainted with darkness, even the title and subtitle of the Raid changes to Orphion's Nexus of Dark, When darkness grows..., and the subtitle of the Boss itself also describes Orphion as the Dark Beast, showing how the Parasite itself has taken a toll on the Light Beast. It also appears as the fake final boss of the Raid.

After Orphion's Health has been reduced significantly, the True Final Boss will be revealed, The Parasite. Orphion could not fight it himself, as he is in a weak state, so he lets the Players fight the Parasite for him.

After The Parasite has been defeated, Orphion will then speak to the Player. He will reveal some insight about what will happen to the Forests of Gavel, and later finishing off, saying the player must stop her, as her influence will feed the senseless war. It is unknown who Orphion is referring to.
