====== Crom Cruach ======
==== God of Time ====
Crom is the Primal God, who alone begat Lady Berchta and Lord Huldar. He is the grandfather of Oden, Thoare, Freygga, Lokki and Malkina, great-grandfather of Idun, Heimdall, Fursete, Sife, Skaddie, Aegur, Turuk-roth, and Ackdynu, and great-great grandfather of the demigods Frayr and Eastara. He is the wisest of all the Gods of Erden, and the one closest to omniscient, with a...well, deific grasp of causation and probability. He is the God of the march of time, both inevitability, the ponderous weight of entropy, precedent and habituation, and mutability, the far-reaching changes that can be wrought by decisive action at precisely the right moment.

His priests instruct the flock in the importance of planning wisely for the future while at the same time living in the precious, ineffable moment, assisting them to differentiate between those wants or troubles with long-reaching consequences, and those that won't really matter tomorrow, next month or next year. They counsel patience and help all the members of the flock adapt themselves to their changing bodies, styles of living, and needs as they go through life.
