He Who Spawned the Furies

**He Who Spawned the Furies**, (Also known as **Chronos, The Time Lord, The Sky God, Son of Order, Kronk**) is responsible for the domains of **Order**, **Sky**, **Tempest**, **Time**, **Twilight**. He is part of the Pantheon Primaria.

   According to the Myth of Creation told by followers of Vari, **Chronos - He Who Spawned the Furies** was born of the god Oranos, (considered personification the sky), and Vari, The Life Mother. Without **Oranos**, **Vari** was unable to create life as she required the rain he provided. Together their bond created a child, **Chronos**.

**He Who Spawned the Furies** envied the power of his father, Oranos, the ruler of the skies an thought by some to be the ruler of the multiverse itself, although worshippers of They Who Know would say otherwise. **Chronos** learned a terrible secret about his father, that caused him to kill him, though to this day nobody knows what that secret was. **Oranos** is thought to have died at the hands of **Chronos**, after being castrated by his own son's Sickle. This act caused Oranos's genitals to spill blood upon the world, creating the first world's Giants, Elementals and Fiends. In his last act, Oranos imbued them all with his anger and wrath, these evil entities once rampaged across Vari causing her great harm. As **Oranos** died, **Vari** absorbed all of his pain and thus his tears, now able to create life without him, though it pains her to do so. She was able to create life bound to her good nature, thus along came what are thought to be the first Humans, Elves or Dwarves.

**He Who Spawned the Furies** is the God of Time and God of the Skies. He created the endless cycle of day and night by changing the sky as time passes. His duty is to bind time and keep it linear and by continuing this cycle, time flows perpetually as expected, as everything must stay in order. This cycle of stability improved Vari's ability to create life without Oranos. He was once Pantheon Dominus, but due to his actions was defeated and stripped of this title.

### The Creation of Mazrek, The First Fury

**He Who Spawned the Furies** was so obsessed with the idea that one day he would be killed by his own child, just as he killed his own father, that he continuously consumed his own divine born children, by consuming them.

This obsession did not fade, as such he sought the truth of his fate from Dhivtai and the Icosahedron of Prophecy. When heard her prophecy that a demigod mortal son of his, a marked warrior would be the one to rise up and defeat him, he personally descended upon the world of Vari in the hopes of capturing Mazrek, a boy suspected of being the marked warrior because of his strange birthmarks. Rather than swallow him whole, he bit into Mazrek and cast him into the abyss in anger. Mazrek survived, but his pain echoed through the planes, twisted and changed by the abyss, he became the first demon, or Fury. Many more furies were spawned from the blood of Mazrek's wound, caused by Chronos himself. He had unintentionally created demons.

Recognising his error, **Chronos, He Who Spawned the Furies** pursued Mazrek into the Abyss to kill him to prevent him from rising up against him. The hostile environment of the Abyss was too much for **Chronos**, who retreated to formulate a new plot.

### The Marked Warrior's Revenge

After Mazrek was captured, his brother Bellum, who failed to rescue him, vowed never to falter again. In honour of Mazrek, He adorned a tattoo on his body, made in the exact image of Mazrek's birthmark.

Armed with his two new legendary relics, Bellum went to Mount Celestia, defeating anyone who tried to stop him and challenged **Chronos** in single combat. The Pantheon came together to witness this moment, but did not intervene. After a gruelling fight that lasted days, Chronos was defeated and Bellum held him by his throat. After he defeated **Chronos**, Vari the Life Mother appeared to **Bellum** and pleaded with the Marked Warrior to spare his life. She showed him what his brother Mazrek had become.

After he defeated **Chronos** in single combat, Vari the Life Mother appeared to and pleaded with the Marked Warrior to spare his life. She showed him what his brother Mazrek had become. Heartbroken, **Bellum** wounded **Chronos** but did not kill him. Instead, from his wound he absorbed much of his strength into the **Titan's Gauntlets**, and was gifted Vari's strength for heeding her words. He then demanded that Chronos be stripped of his **Dominus** role, to which the whole pantheon agreed. The Arbiter stepped in and became Pantheon Dominus. The Marked Warrior then turned to the Abyss and searched for his brother. After defeating his own brother, he could not bring himself to kill him, he sealed Mazrek in a **Soulstone**.

### Giants

He is worshipped by many Giants and their kin as their father, as he spawned them by castrating Oranos, though the Giants refer to him as **Kronk, The Sky God**. The taller the giant, the closer they are to Kronk, and thus the more respect they expect to receive. Records found in ancient giant ruins speak of Kronk as the father of many other gods, though all of these gods were eaten, swallowed whole, to prevent his own children from killing him as he killed Oranos. It is claimed by Giantkin that Kronk is eternally angry and unleashes his rage in the form of storms. Many barbarians, and certain species such as Goliaths, Orcs and others, worship him due to him embodying rage and anger.

The holy symbol of Chronos is represented as an hourglass.
