[/List] [U]Domain/s[/U] [List] [*]Remph holds dominion over the domains of Earth, Knowledge, Magic, and Travel. [/List] [U]Personality/Alignment[/U] [List] [*]Time. Remph is the very essence of time. Always in constant motion, continual progression. While numbers or cycles associated with time as well as the labels applied their too may be arbitrary, the being of time is real as embodied by Remph. One may choose to abscond from keeping track of time but it still progresses. Remph is constantly moving forward. Time does not flow backwards nor does it branch out to maintain new streams of motion. In the beginning there were only three but all would be meaningless without time. Remph reflects on this immortal existence. For Remph has experienced all. Remph also represents true neutrality for time cares not for good or evil. Time cares not for anything except the movement of time. Remph’s apathy is not due to a hatred for the mortal coil but because their existence is meaningless in the larger picture of time. Remph exists in contemplation, watching the mortals struggle with the concept of time. Remph finds amusement in watching the mortals struggle to grasp the concept of time. Remph’s neutrality is quite different from that of Ein Sof in that while Ein Sof would obviously prefer good over evil Remph cares not one way or the other as neither the alignment of mortals affects him at all. [/List] [U]Relations[/U] [List] [*]Remph’s interaction with the other divine beings is relatively slim. Remph is spoken of as a philosopher, a contemplator, and a great thinker. This is how Remph spends his time, deep in thought often in avoidance of the other deities within the pantheon. Remph holds dominion over the Celestials of Divination, Truth, and the Mountain. These beings regard him as a superior, as he is one of the three major deities of the pantheon. In mortal terms, Remph encompasses an entire visicae piscis of the triquetra, the realm of Bjargvollr. Remph is subservient to no one directly. The qualifier directly is used to exemplify how Remph spends most of his time contemplating on the concept of whether or not a divine being needs belief or people to believe in that being to exist? The three Demiurges have existed for so long their origins is unknown, even to them. As being truly neutral Remph does not standing in direct contrast or open rebellion with any other deity in the pantheon. Remph cares little for the squabbles of the other deities and is often seen as a black sheep by mortal society. [/List] [U]Commandments/Laws[/U] [List] [*]Above all else, pursuit of knowledge is paramount. [*]Time may be infinite, by life is a finite although unknown - do not waste it for life is precious. [/List] [U]Parishioners/Common Practices[/U] [List] [*]Remph, the Demiurge of Time is most often worshipped by those who value knowledge. Historians, sorcerers, scholars, wizards, and anyone else who may spend their life in the pursuit of knowledge. These men spend their time with a nose pressed between pages of musty tomes or torn scrolls. However, others such as explorers, inventors, and criminals may often find Remph as an ally. While there is no specific race that may choose to worship Remph, any being that is more prone to pursuits of intellect rather than strength or dexterity will find Remph to be a perfect choice. Those who worship Remph often find sundials, hourglasses or for the more high class follower a water clock to be a favored choice of religious symbols. Often times, parishioners form of prayer comes by way of daily time set aside for contemplation or meditation. Wasting time is seen as a slight against the deity by those of the mortal coil, so followers of this deity are often early to rise, late to bed making sure to make the most of every waking moment.
