Bardus

Bardus (バルドゥス) is the God of Light, the one who sealed Octum during their battle in El Phildin.

Background
The battle between Bardus and Octum was decided when the former sealed the latter. Since light and darkness are two sides of the same coin, however, when he sealed away Octum Bardus's half of the body was shattered into six piece: the Sacred Treasures.

To spread the doctrine centred around Bardus, the Church of Bardus was founded. The faith in Bardus is deeply ingrained in the daily lives of the people in El Phildin.
