Accounting of Hours

The Accounting of Hours was the primary religious text of the Amonkheti during Nicol Bolas's reign as the plane's God-Pharaoh. It is made up of a series of prophecies featured in the flavor text of the Amonkhet block.Jay Annelli (2022). Magic: The Gathering - The Visual Guide, DK. ISBN-13 978-0744061055.
The text prophesied the coming of the God-Pharaoh. According to the first prophecy, the <c>Gate to the Afterlife</c> would open when the Second Sun sat entirely between the horns on the horizon, revealing the promise of the God-Pharaoh. After the Hour of Devastation and the Phyrexian Invasion, the survivors on Amonkhet have begun to craft a new text: The Record of Days.

When the Second Sun rests between the horns on the horizon, so begins the Hour of Revelation. Then the Hour of Glory, the Hour of Promise, and finally the Hour of Eternity.	<c>Throne of the God-Pharaoh</c>
All questions will be answered during the Hour of Revelation. 	<c>Naga Oracle</c>
In the Hour of Glory, the gods and the untested will prove their worth before the God-Pharaoh. 	<c>Nimble-Blade Khenra</c>
When the Hour of Promise arrives, the God-Pharaoh will tear down the Hekma, for its protection will be needed no longer. 	<c>Winged Shepherd</c>
When all doubts have melted away, the worthy will meet the Hour of Eternity and earn a place at the God-Pharaoh's side. 	<c>Dissenter's Deliverance</c>
Notably absent in the texts is the Hour of Devastation.
When the Hours began, the events came to pass as foretold, but steeped heavily in irony, rather than what was expected by the citizens of Amonkhet.Flavor text for <c>Seer of the Last Tomorrow</c>
* In the <c>Hour of Revelation</c>, the Gate to the Afterlife opens, revealing the demon Razaketh, who turns the Luxa River to blood. Beyond the Gate was only the desert - representing that their entire way of life was founded on empty promises.
* In the <c>Hour of Glory</c>, The Scorpion God fights and kills Rhonas, and a swarm of locusts descends on Naktamun. Rhonas, the strongest of the gods, was effectively deemed unworthy - and by extension, all the citizens are unworthy of the God-Pharaoh.
* In the <c>Hour of Promise</c>, The Locust God's swarm destroys the Hekma, while The Scorpion God kills Oketra and Kefnet. The Hekma's protection is no longer needed, as the God-Pharaoh has no need for the remaining living citizens of Naktamun.
* In the <c>Hour of Eternity</c>, Bolas' army of Eternals is revealed and unleashed. The only Worthy are the Eternals, and their only purpose at the God-Pharaoh's side was as an army of living weapons.
* In the <c>Hour of Devastation</c>, Naktamun is destroyed and the Gatewatch is defeated. 
==War of the Spark==
* In War of the Spark, the Hours were re-created in the Finales cycle, although the colors were different:
** <c>Finale of Revelation</c> was blue instead of white
** <c>Finale of Glory</c> was white instead of black
** <c>Finale of Promise</c> was red instead of green
** <c>Finale of Eternity</c> was black instead of blue
** <c>Finale of Devastation</c> was green instead of red
