Solem and Edax


I've talked about these guys a few times in passing without ever showing them or going in depth about their deal, so here are Solem and Edax, the two ram god siblings of Zyterra.
In the beginning of time before everything, there was Null, a sentient, interdimensional gloom comprised of a writhing mass of cellular organisms constantly in a cycle of death and rebirth, making up the ambiance of existence. As is the case within any network of cells in constant flux, eventually there is an error during duplication, and existence's first-ever "mutation" produces Solem and Edax simultaneously, the two opposite but complementary halves that made up Null. (Light and Dark, or Solem and Edax respectively.)
As the creator of anim, Solem makes more of an effort to meet them at their level, so most depictions of them show them clothed or taking part in hedonistic pleasures like wearing jewelry, eating, partying, etc., with their third eye shut (for the sake of the ref I've chosen to show it open)
Edax, creator of Umbrum, prefers to be more bestial and disconcerting. The suit is a begrudging formality that it extends for certain occasions, but most depictions of it show it as a feral ram or sentient darkness.
