Tempist is the god of Time and Destiny. together with Mortis (death and the end)), Vitalis (Life and Renewal) and Erit (Space and Matter) she forms the Four Pillars of Existence, the highest form of godhood possible.

She is a neutral god often being seen as being chaotic, the source of chance and destiny, combating the stability and safety.

She is also called: Time, Opportunity, The Changer, The uncertain one, Destiny, The Three Faced, Eternity.

Tempist exists at any point in time and between any given moment without gathering or loosing power overall. The Past, the present and the future exists at the same time for her. For her existence is like a story read many times, unchanging but surprising and exciting anyways. Choice is an illusion but stories written hide interpretations not yet noticed. Existing at all times it is like existing in a loop, granting her the questionable honor to be the representation of eternity, destiny and thus all knowing.

Symbols of Tempist

In different culture Tempist has different Symbols representing her:

An Hourglass, The Color Blue, The Color Violet, An Eye, A Watch, Sun and Moon, Freedom.

Quotes

Opportunity is an Illusion.

Are decisions the source of change or the result of it?

Destiny is luck or misfortune for those blind to it.

Would I understand, cherish, believe or know what "Time" means, I'd be a god myself.

Destiny exists but can't be shared.

Anything "is" at many times, won't "at" many more and thus won't ever matter, until it does.

An Unknown destiny calling is real freedom.

Commandments of Tempist

Tempest is Destiny and Change.
Time between Moments is prayer to Tempist.
Freedom is to choose your destiny.
The Future is certain, destiny is not.
Noting matters but intention.
Expectations do not shape the future, nor memories the past.
Past, present and future are two sides of the same coin.

Common Folk

Everything is affected by change, if you like it or not. Tempest acknowledges those who give into the stream of time, those who understand that nothing matters aside the way we confront unchangeable destiny and uncertain pasts. Freedom is to choose hardship if necessary even if it seems useless, for Destiny is dictating future, not an opposing force.

The Blessings/Curses of Tempist

Tempist grants boons to individuals but it is impossible to tell blessing from curse.

Time Travel: Allowing beings to travel through time does not change the fact, that Tempist already knows the outcome of this travel.

Free of Destiny/Child of Surprise: Some are touched by Tempist and allowed to give a new interpretation to an already written story and even be able to change it. In the eyes of the afflicted, they earned the highest form of freedom.

Send to Limbo: Beeing send to Limbo means to share eternity with Tempist herself. Being send there means loosing any sense of past, present or future. A place meant for those who strife for complete knowledge and insignificance.
