Ramil

Few gods are as mysterious as Ramil, the Timekeeper. Ramil is believed to be one of the first gods to come into existence as the son of Bahl, as the worlds could not be set adrift through the void without time. As the cosmos started to collect into order with the beginning of time, Ramil was the first to craft a realm of his own separate from the mortal world. This realm is an endless shifting sea of towering sand dunes, and at the heart of the realm rests an expansive golden city. Ramil rules over his realm from this city and its golden spires, controlling the flow of time and bringing in the souls of his followers to serve as historians for all eternity. The timekeeper rarely intervenes in the lives of his mortal worshippers still on the mortal plane, outside the granting of cleric powers and spells.

The Sahrai see Ramil as the chief among the gods, a belief that Ramil, in his aloofness, does not seem to put to rest. As such, large white marble and golden temples to the god of time can be found in just about every city of the Sahrai, and to hold belief in any other god is seen as heretical and punishable by being left to die in a sandstorm as purification.

Among the Peri, the god Ramil is seen as the elder historian, a keeper of the great stories, and a greater spirit. As such, temples to Ramil are rarely found in the lands the Peri call home; however, one can often find hourglass symbols in markets or carved into works of art to honour the timekeeper.

Outside the Sahrai and Parika, Ramil is merely seen as a chief and elder god, but not always as the strongest or one to be feared. His temples tend to be smaller, but they are still common enough that there is at least one in every major city. This is largely due to the fact that a large portion of the clerical spells granted by Ramil tend to be healing by reversing the flow of time to a very small degree, making it so that while Ramil worshippers tend to be zealots, they are tolerated for this important service.
