Hours

Hours are otherworldly powers dwelling in The Mansus some might even liken to gods. This is inaccurate, however, as gods can not die. Still, Hours possess incredible power to shape the world and each other. They use this influence to further their own goals and to fight against each other with the aid of their Names.

The first Hours were created from The Glory and are know as the gods-from-light.
The Sun-In-Splendour
The Forge-Of-Days

These two Hours ruled together for countless eons before the beginning of history. It was not until The Extirpation when the The Sun-In-Splendour was slain, leaving The Forge-Of-Days unchallenged. Some Hours and even mortals now move against him, but for now he has held them at bay.


Then came the gods-from-stone who existed before all and yet still are younger than the gods-from-light.
The Moth
The Thunderskin
The Mother of Ants
The Elegiast
The Great Mother

These Hours are believed to have come from Nowhere. And while not spawned directly from The Glory they are no less formidable than The Forge-Of-Days.


Finally came the gods-from-flesh. These Hours were once mortals who ascended by gaining the favor of another Hour. They are young by the standards of the Mansus but old by the standards of man.
The Horned-Axe
The Colonel
The Lionsmith
The Witch-and-Sister
The Seven-Coils
The Wolf Divided
The Vagabond

Some Hours have been banished to dwell within Nowhere. They include:
The Grey King
The Sun-In-Rags
