Turena

Turena (pronounced: too-REN-ah), known as the Goddess of Time, is one of the Elder Gods of the Lunareth Panthon. She is the least involved of the Elder Gods, preferring isolation over worship and rule.

Turena's Holy Symbol: A clock with 5 arms

## Description

Turena has been described and depicted as a Stone Giant, usually blind and draped in black. She also is shown holding an hourglass in many depictions.

Lords of Turena, while rare, are usually Dwarves, Gnomes, or Genasi (usually Earth Genasi).

Turena's holy symbol is a clock with 5 arms.

## Personality

Turena is cold and distant from her fellow Elder Gods, Erasil and Thusur. She despises the creation of the multiverse and life. Often called a control freak, Turena is only at peace when she knows the outcomes of the events that transpire around her. Life in the multiverse, with access to free will and magic, complicate that matter for her.

She regularly contemplates the destruction of the multiverse, but knowing that it would anger Erasil and Thusur, who she respects, puts her off. Instead, she now devotes herself to learning about the multiverse, finding patterns to accurately predict its future.

## Abilities

Turena's incredible mastery over time allows her to perform marvelous feats. She is able to completely freeze time around her, up to a multiversal scale. No other god, not even the Elder Gods, can resist her time manipulation powers.

Turena is also a seer, able to accurately predict the very near future. Because of this, she can anticipate any threat, and with her massive intellect, she can quickly find ways to counter them.

Turena's powers over the multiverse are also impressive, almost comparable with Erasil's. She is able to create realms and other planes of existence with ease. She is also able to bend the rules of time and space on a multiversal scale.

## Worshippers

Turena's worshippers across the multiverse are divided in two sects. Turenans idolize and worship non-existence, just like their deity. They seek to eradicate life and the multiverse, returning it to the way things are. These worshippers rarely have the favor of Turena, who finds these cultists radical and dangerous. Turenans regularly use spells from the schools of Divination and Chronurgy.

On the other hand, Watchers are another sect of Turena worshippers. They openly oppose Turenans, and instead search the multiverse for meaning, which they offer to Turena. These worshippers are often gifted with powerful Divinations from Turena herself, letting them know about future threats and opportunities.

## Relationships

Turena still regards her fellow Elder Gods, Erasil and Thusur, with honor and respect, swearing to never oppose them. Her strained relationship is with the mortals across the multiverse and the other gods, who she considers "lesser".

## History

### Before the Multiverse

Before it was only the three of them, Turena, Erasil, and Thusur were part of a highly advanced, ancient civilization. Turena was a powerful ruler of this civilization, having used her powers of foresight to drive her people to victory across the eons. During a prolonged time of peace, Turena had no use for her powers. When she eventually sensed a threat looming in the distance, she took action, only to realize every precaution that had been put into place had been made obsolete after eons of disrepair. Turena's people were slaughtered, erased from existence, leaving her, her strongest soldier, Thusur, and her war councilor, Erasil, left standing.

### The Lonely Elder God

Now alone, Erasil and Thusur were quick to adapt to their new environments, finding peace and love in themselves. Turena had grown even colder and distant, feeling herself a failure. After Erasil and Thusur's unity created the multiverse, she took it upon herself to become the Goddess of Time, cataloguing time to prevent the mistakes of the past to happen again.

After extensive work cataloguing all of time, Erasil had stepped in and created mortal life on Lunareth, completely shattering Turena's expectations for the future. This angered the Goddess of Time, who chose to isolate herself in a plane of existence of her creation, The Plane of Time. Now, devoted to making sense of the multiverse to predict its future, Turena sits in isolation, disconnected from all life, mortal and divine.
