Cygnus is a young god who tempers the gods with his patience and calmness.  He is often seen as the arbiter between the gods, although he rarely takes any direct action.  Instead, he provides counsel to the gods and offers elaborate treaties that help and hinder each in the conflict, thereby restoring balance while maintaining each god's priorities.
