Chronos was an ancient deity, the god of time, ironically, lost to the ages. Religious texts and ancient histories speak of him in passing. He was known to be worshiped by the nation of Orva but it was unknown how he died. Shrines of Chronos still held power millennia later. Offerings would crumble to dust in mere seconds and in return, the offerer may have received a vision of the past or the future.[1]
Statues of Chronos depicted him as a tall man in a hooded robe with feathered wings, holding a scythe and an hourglass.[1]
History
When the green elves migrated to the Yuirwood, the Seldarine merged with or absorbed the ancient Yuir gods and they became aspects of the various members of the elven pantheon. Chronos became an aspect of Labelas Enoreth.[2]
