Hameyhi

Goddess of Time

All which Once Was is given meaning by its Ending; The beauty of a Dream is in the dreamer’s Waking.

The Inescapable, the Arrow of Time, the Forever-Marching, the Old Old One, She who was First and will be Last, She who knows the Names of All Mortalkind, the Inevitable Death, Lady of Burdens, Empress of the Eternity Forever Distant, Keeper of the Record Book, the Queen Forever Present, the One Remaining, the Great Unraveller, the Monster of Age

The Fifty-Eighth of the Seventy, Amy, daughter of Mutsuki, hypostatized into a divine form. As the divine hypostasis of a True Demon, Hameyhi is not enthroned, but nevertheless holds power equivalent to those who have been Enthroned. She cannot act or appear in her divine form and it is probable that she does not even possess a true and independent divine form, being as she is theoretically nothing but a higher order reflection of something which still crawls upon the earth. Hameyhi is a hypostasis of the arrow of time itself, while her true demon form is a reflection of the inevitable death through age. 

Her power is absolute in her domain, and even the most potent magic limited to those close to godhood cannot hope to oppose her for long, but in return Hameyhi holds almost no power at all outside the procession of Time. Her domain is of almost no value to mortals and she is essentially never worshipped. Hameyhi has no particular hatred of the undead or immortal but strongly resents the ageless and eternal. Those who seek to become everlasting will find Amy, the Keeper of Mortality, bearing down on them thrice with increasing urgency, but should they survive even the third attempt to take their lives they will be troubled no more by the Reaper for unknown reasons.

Clerics

Clerics of Hameyhi are rare because Hameyhi’s ontic, Amy, personally does almost all of the work that most other gods use clerics for. Most clerics are encouraged to help Hameyhi set up miniature Towers of Time, a place from which her ontic can observe the world and find those who have violated both her laws and the laws of her divine hypostasis. The Towers also help stabilise time in the rare places where it might be disordered, usually due to extremely powerful magic or planar distortions.

Anyone who travels backwards in time, or attempts to, is to be reported to Hameyhi or Amy with all haste. A creature who has travelled back in time breaks causality, a sacred principle which can destabilise the world when violated. But anyone travelling back in time is something even worse: the antithesis of himself, an anti-creature, who annihilates both his past and his future should he ever cross paths with his own past. This annihilation permanently destroys any divinity either creature held, and worse, permanently drains divinity from the world to “make up” for the extra divinity held by the anti-creature who should not have been there.
