Kruphix, God of Horizons
Kruphix is seen as an oracle of dreams. He also governs navigation, mystery, and the cycles of time. Mortals say that Kruphix is the most ancient of the pantheon, the keeper of mysteries that no others are meant to learn.
More than any other god, Kruphix simply is. He seeks nothing but to oversee the acquisition of knowledge, maintain the cycles of time, and uphold the divine order.
Many pray to Kruphix when they need to find something lost, but few dedicate themselves to his worship. Cults devoted to Kruphix fiercely guard their secrets, and their initiates refrain from drawing attention to themselves. Some followers and champions of Kruphix 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 Kruphix are usually performed at boundaries, both temporal and spatial: shorelines, riverbanks, equinoxes, and sunsets. One of the god’s greatest festivals is the Agrypnion (“the Watching”), which marks the end of winter and the close of the year.

Kruphix very seldom chooses a champion. He doesn't have an agenda and therefore doesn't require anyone to execute his will. Speak with me if you want to be a champion of Kruphix and we'll work on a backstory.Devotion to Kruphix
