Janus

Titan God of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings   Alignment: Neutral   LORE: One of the important deities of Roman religion was Janus, and while they have their beliefs on where he came from, I will give the account as it was written. When the age of Rome started, many started worshiping a new god, and god beginning and ends, a god of the duality of war and peace, and one honored by all gates of Rome. When Klidi was born none were allowed to know of her existence, and so the roman clever as they are created their own.  No one is quite sure how, but Janus works within the domain of Klidi, and was created by time himself to prevent people from discovery his daughter.  Janus has served this purpose faithfully for his entire existence, and even became was the predominant gods of the Roman age of Man. Honor the duration of time and growth within oneself. —Hecate.   Personality Traits: One would describe Janus as patient, one who observes the journey of mankind, and one who understands the duality of things. Evil and Good, Love and Hate, and Sorrow and Joy.   Ideals: Only through growth can we gain the wisdom needed to understand the duality in life and death.   Bonds: Jupiter, Juno, Annake, and Bellona.   Flaws: His neutral nature causes him to not interfere with things that he is capable of preventing.   Symbol: Dual face head   Worship:
  • Traverse the realms.
  • Use one of the Divine Gates
  • Discover the Deity of the Gate.
