Verduum - God of Time
Domain: Life, Death, Knowledge
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Symbol: Cogwheel, representing the passage of time and its inevitable cycles. Overview: Verduum is the deity people turn to when time is against them—moments of desperation, when they seek to extend their lives or wish for more time to accomplish something. Unlike gods of fortune or prosperity, Verduum is seldom worshipped in times of joy. Worship and Cults: Verduum’s followers are scattered, with very few dedicated temples. In larger cities, he might have a small shrine within multi-faith temples that serve all gods, but it is rare to find a temple solely dedicated to him. The Eternal Cycle is a cult that venerates Verduum, they believes in a cyclical rebirth, where the souls of parents are reborn into their children. This belief leads to rituals around childbirth, where they perform rites hoping to ensure the continuation of their souls through their descendants. Festivals and Rituals: Verduum’s worship does not involve many widespread festivals. His followers might observe small, personal ceremonies, particularly during times of transition like the beginning of a new year or the end of a significant period in their lives. The cult that worships him particularly might have more specific rituals, focusing on rites of passage, such as birth and death, viewing these as pivotal moments where time’s influence is most potent. Notable Practices: • Prayer of Time’s Mercy: A simple prayer often uttered by those who feel their time is running out, asking Verduum for more time, whether for completing a task, healing, or simply to live longer. • Rebirth Rite: Performed by the cult that venerates him, this rite is conducted at the birth of a child, believed to secure the transfer of the soul from the deceased parent to the newborn. Has connections with the worship of Furnark since good craftmanship often takes time.
