Aedra Name: Akatosh, "Dragon God of Time"

Spheres:
Time, endurance, invincibility, and everlasting legitimacy.(Aedric)
Time (Greek)

Names in Other Religions/Mythology: Chronos

Realms: He has no realm, but a little pocket outside of time where he resides with his wife.

Daedric Rites: He has no rite, but there are instances called "Dragon Breaks". There are only three historically recorded. Basically, they are large events that happen in timelines, the first being when the Aedra were accumulated.

Description: He is considered to be the first God to form in the Beginning Place, as nothing could exist without time itself. After his establishment, other spirits followed his example, and the various pantheons of the world emerged. He is the Chief Deity of the Divines. Considered the god-defender of the Empire. He is known as being half dragon, half man though the lore isn't perfectly determined with that fact.

Background: He was the first to emerge from Chaos, followed after by the others. He was always quite the anxiety prone man, often skittish as he seemed to be able to understand the past, present and future without hitch. Seeing events that hadn't quite happened yet, when Tartarus arrived, it only became worse. Seeing upcoming events, he had an overwhelming urge to interfere should he get attached to these entities that followed him out of Chaos. Quickly learning his abilities to manipulate time, he often found himself seeking refuge in a safe haven pocket outside of time.

Later, he met and wed a woman named Rhea (in our version, it was Chronos who was married to Rhea). They bore no sons, yet he always tried to remain understanding of mortal minds when it was him that got mistaken for the child devouring Titan. When it was Rhea's time to pass, he couldn't bear the thought of losing his wife. Striking a deal with the order obsessed Nocturnal, she agreed to allow him to keep his wife so long as she remained outside of time with him to not cause any ripple effects.

Spouse/Consorts: Wife; Rhea.

Children: None.

Disorders:
Extreme Social Anxiety Disorder
Extreme Paranoia Disorder
ADHD
Depersonalization Disorder

Beautiful Day

Aedra Name: Dibella

Spheres:
Love and beauty.(Aedric)

Names in Other Religions/Mythology: Hemera (Greek)

Realms: She has no realm, just the day to spend in grandeur before it's time for her to lay to rest as Nocturnal takes over.

Daedric Rites: N/A
