==Description==
===Appearance===
The God of Time is envisioned as a figure shrouded in cloaks of shifting ages, from the garb of ancient ancestors to future attire yet unseen by mortal eyes. His visage is obscured, symbolizing the unknowable nature of time itself, with eyes that gleam like the stars that mark the passage of eons.
===Realm===
The Sands of Eternity is a realm where the past, present, and future converge in a vast desert of time, with dunes that shift to reveal the remnants of ages past and visions of what is yet to come. Here, the God of Time presides over the continuum, ensuring the orderly progression of epochs.
==Worship==
===Providence===
The influence of the God of Time is felt in the cycle of day and night, the aging of living beings, and the rise and fall of civilizations. Though believed to be dead, whispers of his power echo in the annals of history and the fleeting moments of the present, guiding those who seek to understand the temporal tapestry of existence.
===Edicts===
 • Respect the flow of time
 • Learn from history
 • Understand fate's weave
===Anathema===
 • Do not attempt to alter destined paths
 • Do not neglect the lessons of history
 • Do not disrespect the relics of the past
==Clergy==
In secrecy, the clergy of the God of Time continue to don the vestments of their faith, each piece an artifact from a different era, symbolizing the continuity and interconnectedness of all time.
===Divine Servants===
As the worship of the God of Time is forbidden, no divine servants are openly acknowledged. However, legends speak of:
*Chronowraiths: Spirits of time, enforcing the immutable laws of fate and destiny, appearing as omens or guardians at pivotal historical moments.
*True Chronomancers: Mythical mages, rumoured to be able to be counted on the fingers of one hand as real time magic has mostly faded from the world with the seeming absence of the Time God.
==Religious Info==
===Church===
The clandestine followers of the God of Time gather in secret, often in ancient ruins or places steeped in history. Their practices are veiled in mystery, focusing on the preservation of knowledge, the understanding of historical cycles, and the respectful observance of temporal rites.
Once grand temples dedicated to the God of Time now lie in ruins, their locations forgotten by all but a few faithful. Shrines are hidden in places that echo with the weight of history, offering sanctuary to those who still heed the call of the Chronomaster.
===Church History===
The church's history is a tapestry of rise and fall, echoing the very cycles it venerates. Now driven underground by the Shalanese Empire, its followers hold fast to the belief that time's flow cannot truly be halted or controlled, and that the God of Time, though believed dead, still holds sway over the fate of all.
===Holy Testament===
"The Chronicon": A collection of forbidden texts, each page a window into an age of the world, offering insights into the nature of time and the patterns that shape destiny. The Temple of Forbidden Knowledge is actively pursuing any rumour that concerns this book.
===Holidays===
In secret, the faithful observe the Turning of the Ages, a day marking the end of an old year and the beginning of a new, reflecting on the cyclical nature of existence and the eternal passage of time.
In the shadows of the Shalanese prohibition, the worship of the God of Time endures, a silent testament to the inescapable presence of time in all aspects of life and the universe, and a hope that the deity's influence persists beyond mortal constraints and imperial edicts.
