Pai, Goddess of the Sun

Called Brightest, Sky Mother, Protector of Children and The Sun Queen.

In the palace-city of Maat, north of Kau Lun in the Mountains of Heaven is the Temple of the Everlasting Sun Queen. The holiest of all places in the temple is the great Sun Disk, a gold and enamel platform fully a quarter of a mile across which, through the cunning use of mirrors, does not leave the city in shadow although it hovers overhead. On the longest day, all the children of the city and surrounding countryside are brought to the Sun Disk to play games and eat candy in celebration of Pai as Protector of Children. It is said that if Pai is especially pleased, rain will fall from a cloudless sky and every child who is kissed by the rain will enjoy the special blessings of the Sun Queen.
