The 24 Gods of the Hours
From Praemal
People are fascinated with the different aspects of time. They attribute various days and the seasons with personas and associate different attitudes with the months of the year. And then, of course, there are the 24 Gods of the Hours.
The 24 Gods of the Hours, as their collective name would suggest, each govern one hour of each day. These minor gods are normally worshipped as a group rather than as individual deities. The only exceptions are the rare devotees who choose one hour to be their specific patron. These people usually tailor their lives around their patron hour, ensuring that important events occur during that hour. Mostly, though, worshippers attempt to honor whichever god presides over a specific hour -- either that particular hour or one in which an important upcoming event will take place.
In Ptolus, the Temple to the 24 Gods of the Hours is an open, circular forum with each god symbolized by a portion of the cycle of the day depicted in the stone pavement. The only priest is Redrea Karros, a middle-aged woman with short brown hair and a stocky build who is only occasionally present. Few Ptolusites are faithful devotees of these gods. Those who come to the temple do so only when appeals to other gods seem to have fallen on deaf ears. Most people see them as rather insignificant deities.
In Midwood, the gods are typically only mentioned on sundials, which has their names affixed to their corresponding position.
