The Blue Sun is a mysterious, otherworldly entity, occupier of obscure myth throughout various worlds, most notably Rutania. Who or what the Blue Sun is is by and large unknown, as few have ever established contact with it. Those who have, however, have described it to be warm and gentle- though some have also suggested that there may be an element of destructive might to it as well.

The fact of the matter is, no one knows for sure what the Blue Sun's deal is, why it exists, or if it's even a "person" in any capacity. What is known, is that it's influence seems to suffuse the entirety of history, forwards and backwards, albeit in a very subtle manner. Whether this Blue Sun has existed since the dawn of the universe, or exists outside of time entirely, is a complete mystery. It is, however, thought to have influence over numerous worlds, albeit to varying degrees.

Within the context of Rutania, the Blue Sun's influence is limited to an extremely small and obscure sect of worshipers, who take it upon themselves to imbue items with the Blue Sun's warmth. This is a slow process, but the end result is an item with a seemingly-subtle warmth to it that has some very interesting properties, not the least of which being their propensity for cold-weather protection, and an unreal capability to block ice and dark magic. Getting one's hands on such items, though, is very difficult, as while the Followers of the Blue Sun are more than willing to part with the things they've imbued, the time-consuming nature of making them means they may not have much available, as it can take years for a single item to be sufficiently imbued with the Blue Sun's aura; this time does vary somewhat based on the size of the item.

As a direct result of this issue, the Followers of the Blue Sun tend to prioritize imbuing materials that can then readily be made into other items, particularly skeins of yarn and pieces of leather for clothesmaking. Notably, this doesn't seem to work very well with materials that have to undergo significant physical changes, such as melting, to be worked; however, some success has been found with forging metal items using a blue flame derived from the Blue Sun's energy, as well as with machining certain imbued metals with modern technology, such as on a lathe.
