Kundis, the god of time
Kundis was the second born of Xassalt's three sons. Xassalt knew that Kundis was the god of time because everything should have a middle. Kundis, along with Xassalt, his brothers, and the elemental lords, created the world of Thyr. Kundis was charged with overseeing the lifespan of all things. Kundis measures time impassively. He cares not for the length of the time he grants, only that it is respected.
When a new life begins, Kundis takes a handful of sand from the hourglass around his neck and places it in the new soul's own hourglass. The mortal's hourglass is inverted, allowing the sand marking that individual's lifespan to begin its journey to the lower chamber. If a mortal dies violently before his time is spent, his cosmic hourglass is shattered. Kundis cares not for what one does with the time that is given. Under no circumstance will he allot more. Like his elder brother, Kundis views undead as an abomination. They are perceived as a violation of time, either through the act of prolonging one's time or cutting short the time of another.
He is also concerned with the sanctity of time, and that it is not impeded; time travel is something he accepts as a reality, but he will not allow the timestream to be interrupted or irrevocably changed. There are certain fixed points in time that he has made sacrosanct, and they cannot be changed; any attempt to change them causes the timestream to correct itself and the anchor moves further up or down the stream to happen at a different time, but still occurs. To help him tend the timestream, Kundis created automatons known as Inevitables; these automata assist the God of Time with ensuring time moves as it should, whether it be the timestream itself, or that beings do not grossly alter their allotted amount of sand.
Religion and Dogma:
Like the clergy of his brothers, the clerics of Kundis are pragmatic in nature. Kundyte clerics value time over all things. To be late to a function or feast held by his clergy is seen as a grave insult. Time like life is precious; no one knows how long Kundis has granted them. Time pieces of Thyr are said to have been invented and perfected by the Church of Kundis; if a timepiece is not blessed by the Church of Kundis it is considered fallible and entirely unreliable. Thyrians mark each birthday with devotions to Kundis, thanking him for the past year and hoping that he was generous enough to have granted another.
The vestments of a Kundyte cleric are simple gray linen robes, the middle ground between the white vestments of his elder brother and the black vestments of his younger brother. His holy symbol is the image of an hourglass with the sand, dark gray in color, equally distributed between top and bottom, depicted on a silver background.
Appearance:
Regardless of race, region, or ethnic group, Kundis always appears as a male in the middle of his life, with a thick mane of shoulder length black hair, streaked with silver. As with most gods in Thyr, the rest of Kundis' attributes vary according to whom he appears.
