The Keeper of Time

The Keepers were once mortal beings from Terra. Each of the Keepers were subjected to powerful and dangerous rituals that gave them magic from beyond their world. They were deemed too powerful to control and some were too chaotic to contain. Each of the Keepers were captured or banished. The Keepers have been around for so long, their names are as lost to history as their mortality. The Keeper of Time was trapped in an hourglass, supposedly for eternity. Her affinity for temporal chaos and the millennia spent soaking up the grains of time from the hourglass have made her a truly formidable goddess. You happened upon her hourglass, her little body in the strange device makes you uneasy for some reason.
