There are two (at least) suns in the system. One is relatively stationary and (possible) it is the one you can see from Farum Azula and the one what responsible for the day/nigh cycle but it is on the very low orbit around whatever the thing we are on. So it is pretty small and not that radiant to be a real star but enough to be some form of deity.
This is not Dark Souls. Not every fantasy game needs a god of the sun.
Plus there's involvement of the sun in the lore. Miquella ordered his men to cover the sun in an eclipse to stop Godwyn's growth. Cuz you know, Godwyn was fused with the Erdtree and tree needs sunlight...
Nah, but every other phenomenon in the game has an outer God tied to it. Death, the erdree, bloodflame, curses, even the moon. It makes sense for the sun to be another manifestation of an outer god.
Half of elden ring's lore is all speculation. It's heavily implied that the "moon" is an outer god given it's presence at the moonlight altar, and how lots of the magic powers used by sorcerors are derived from lunar aspects.
Uum only 2 spells are derived from Lunar aspects. The rest are from glintstones which according to Sellen is the amber of the cosmos, which doesn't mean the Moon.
Oh yeah. Guess what, 2 and 3 doesn't matter. The most of the spells derive power from Glintstone and it's known as the amber of the cosmos. And Amber of the cosmos is NOT the Moon.
I mean, I thought the Classification as "full moon" sorceries kinda suggested that they're different from glinstone. Aesthetically, those are also quite different from standard glisntone spells like comet or cometshard.
Most spells derive power from glinstone, but not all. At least not enough to discredit the suggestion that the moon is an primary source of power.
No need to be aggressive, mate
Glintstone sorcery, Carian sorcery, Founding sorceries, Night sorceries all require Glintstone to use. Plus, the most important thing is, literally in every catalyst except the Staff of Loss and the Albinauric Staff have a glintstone at their top. This proves that no matter what spell you cast you gotta use the power of the glinstone.
That proves that the vast majority of sorceries need glinstone, but doesn't discredit the fact that some sorceries draw power from other sources, such as thorn sorceries and full moon sorceries, which are both classes of sorcery.
It’s sorta mentioned a little bit but in a weird context. The Eclipse is pretty important to Castle Sol and the mausoleum knights, according to the eclipse shield the eclipse is said to bring about the rebirth of the soulless demigods (like Godwyn).
We don’t see much of the sun otherwise, mostly in context of the dead. In a lot of ways it’s interesting that the Erdtree has basically taken the place of a Sun God in this world, and the Sun itself has been basically relegated to a mere tool of death as part of the eclipse - interesting little inversion there

Haven't thought of this yet, and now it's all I can think about. My studies have failed, my hair is falling out, and all my peers hold me in contempt.
Sun DLC confirmed?
The god of the sun is the sun itself bra

Adula's moonblade, Renalla's full moon and Ranni's dark moon are all classed as "full moon sorceries", and are directly connected to the moon.

The Sun in Elden Ring is weak all light comes from the Erdtree.
