Krux

Krux is the God of Time, Beauty, and Language. In contemporary religions, like the Valk's Sacellum, Krux is commonly depicted as a wise old man wearing a robe and holding in his hand a wilting rose, a classic symbol of mortality. Krux is attributed as the artificer of time. Beginning with the formation of Vis and reality, the entity later known as Krux became aware of the stagnation existing in an immutable and unchanging existence. Manifesting it's will, Krux forced reality to progress forward from it's immobile state. This cataclysmic event forced the concepts of beginnings and ends into the universe, as well as laid the foundation for other entities to manifest and become self aware, separate from Vis.

The Sevmian Intercession
Krux became intimately involve with the mortal races during the introductory phase of the War of the Fallen Star. The Sevmian people had already drawn the attention of Krux for their rejection of Vahoka Droluin's teachings, choosing to settle and inhabit the Illumian River rather than follow the rest of the Droluju into the open sea. Following the holocaust of the Sevmiastel by Toraki and Vasensteli forces, Krux grieved for the victims and survivors. The Sevmian people's sense of self identity and autonomy from the control of the Outsiders led Krux to directly intervene in Ahrin for the first time.

The god appeared to in a vision to Taramanac, a young Sevmian refugee of the Talivoth tribe. Krux foretold the destruction of the Sevmian people without a unification, promising salvation and protection to the battered people under the new god's patronage. He directed Taramanac to unite the broken families of Sevmiastel under a single banner by fulfilling a series of miracles that would later become known as The Seven Trials.

Taramanac's quest ultimately led to the Sevmian's metamorphosis into Sevuthon race, and later he became the first Poet King, the mortal avatar of Krux and the living ruler of Ahun Duren theocratic kingdom.

Worship and Religion
The observation of existence and change is vital to the god's identity. Krux relishes individuality and uniqueness and cherishes the principle of mortality and the products of the ever-changing flow of life and death. Artisans, musicians, and dedicated craftsmen are regarded highly in Krux's teachings for their devotion to creating immortalized beauty despite their immutable bond to death. Religious institutions that revere Krux therefore place a high value on the preservation of art and culture.
