* ''VideoGame/{{Majesty}}'': The game allows you to build temples to certain gods and recruit their followers as heroes. One example is the sun goddess, Helia. Her temple is mutually exclusive with that of the moon god Lunord; if you build temples for one, you cannot build any for the other.

Unusually, in ''VideoGame/WarlockMasterOfTheArcane'', a 4X spinoff in the same setting, she is the primary deity of the werewolves -- the werewolf player character is her high priest, and the beast faction's temple unit for her are werewolf priests of the sun -- due to the wolves having been cast out of Lunord's sight when their old king tried and failed to usurp his power, forcing them to go to her for protection.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': In ''Literature/{{Pyramids}}'', Djelibeybian mythology states that the Pharaoh himself is the god responsible for making the sun rise. And that the sun is the eye of Yay, a god searching for his toenails. ''And'' Scrab is the Pusher of the Ball of the Sun, and that Thrrp is the Charioteer of the Sun, and that Jeht is Boatsman of the Solar Orb, and there's also a Sun God called Cephnet. This is typical of Djelibeybian religion. When they get shunted into a pocket dimension where ''everything'' they believe is true, the various solar deities are shown ''fighting'' over it.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': Tyrion the elf became the embodiment of Hysh, the Wind of Light, and thus the new god of light in the Mortal Realms. Technically his brother Teclis, as a satellite deity to his brother, also qualifies, though in practical terms he's more of a god of knowledge and magic.
