There was a time some 70 years hence when this was not believed to be true. Raquel is one of the recently ascended deities, tasked with the unreasonably difficult responsibility of repairing time ravaged by the Great Reckoning. As a patron deity of the gnomes, newly freed from her exile into the Great Dream, she juggles her responsibility to her people and as the deity of sacrifice and time all at once. She watches forward in time to an unseen horror constantly tallying her clock, fearing that history might repeat itself.

For what deity could be trusted with such a thing? And so, existence continued; with time governing itself. And the only one to keep it in check was Lord Death. And yet as time passed my people faced many hardships being born within a dream, waking in the realm, and walking it with the others, proved difficult. They sacrificed much. And through these sacrifices I came into prominence. I was not always the goddess of time. I was once goddess of sacrifices. I represented cost paid, unavoidable and inevitable cost of life, of ambition, of sorrow. But then it happened; the world shattered. And time was twisted. I was at the precipice. I was at the edge. Through some ill fate or dark fortune, I was at the edge. No other reason, one might call it luck, I suppose. But I leaped forward. I leaped unto the twisting nether. I fell upon that which would destory us all. I sacrificed everything; my power to govern my people directly, the strength that I had been lended by my fellows, but I held the tear shut. I knew that never could I turn my eyes from this responsibility. And so, I passed my mantle of sacrifice to my friend, the crow father, the raven lord. I knew it would be safe in his hands. And here I have remained, watching over time, keeping it from repeating itself. But here it is, once more, the great wheel always turns. # Worshipers - Everyone # Religious Views - Time - Gnomes - Sacrifice - Chaos (Shared)
