Kairos

The Few
==God of Time==
The clock of aeons may skip a few ticks, but never is it out of sync. The sand in the hourglass is expected to fall down, but sometimes it might fall upward. Time is a river, it may bend, whirl, burble, and split, but it will always flow. Kairos is a watchful shepard, and he allows his herd some freedom to roam. His is the hand through which time's water flows.
His sigil is the hourglass and the sundial. He rarely takes a mortal form, but whem he does he is aged and adorned with timeless, simple garb, he holds a great, two-sided sword and holds an hourglass filled with the sands of time. Those who worship Kairos seek to chart the paths of the river of time. He is the binding force that holds celestial bodies in the heavens. His plans are an intricate webwork towards mysterious ends.

“Many scholars, devout worshipers, chronomancers, and all-around madmen have tried to theorize what the God of Time actually does and his role in the machinations of the world. No one can ever fully say that they have the answer, due to a profound lack of understanding of the subject that cannot be overcome. However, what I have concluded about Kairos is what has been written in the following pages.
Because time itself is so integral to the machinations of the universe, because it predates the very existence of the gods themselves, I've considered to look at Kairos as to, perhaps, be outside The Few and The Many and to be a group all his own with his own unique goals that mere mortals, like myself, cannot even begin to speculate upon. Perhaps we must restructure temples to worship The Few, The Many, and The One?
One might wonder what being a devout follower of Kairos entails. We speculate it to be an extremely unrewarding life. Unlike the other gods one might follow, like Vvaesis or Balkoth, in my opinion, Kairos seems not to care for those who worship him. What is a single drop of water in the sea to the sailor in his ship?
What are mortal woes to a god who can see every iteration of his followers? Who can see every possible outcome of a battle, simultaneously?
Has any man felt his power in their daily life? They only feel their own heartbeats and hear the tick of the clock that both mark the omnipresent passage of that which Kairos supposedly lords over that slowly, moment by moment, shepherds them toward their demise."
