Aspects of Horizons, Mysteries, and Time

Suggested Deities: Kruphix, Kronos

Worshipping the Unkown and Abstract

Many pray to these deities when they need to find something lost, but few dedicate themselves to this worship. Cults devoted to these deities fiercely guard their secrets, and their initiates refrain from drawing attention to themselves. Some followers and champions of time and mystery travel the world in secret, searching for hidden truths. Many use secret signals to enable them to find safe lodging with other worshipers nearly anywhere.   Rituals honoring these deities are usually performed at boundaries, both temporal and spatial: shorelines, riverbanks, equinoxes, and sunsets.   

Common Ideals For These Followers

  • Balance. Too much power in any one place is a threat to us all. (Lawful)
  • Selflessness. I accept the burden of knowledge so that others don’t have to. (Good)
  • Knowledge. I seek out dangerous secrets so that I can know the nature of reality. (Neutral)
  • Power. The best thing about knowing a secret is getting to use it against everyone else. (Evil)
  • Mystery. The cosmos is more beautiful if its greatest truths remain unknown. (Any)

Earning and Losing Piety

You might increase your piety score through acts such as these:
  • Keeping a dangerous secret despite personal cost
  • Revealing a critical truth at an important moment
  • Mediating a major dispute or conflict

Your piety score may decreases through acts such as these:  
  • Revealing a secret that should remain unknown
  • Selfishly refusing to share information
