Tharamaias, also known as the Chain of Time and the Feeble God, is the god of the blind and the deaf, immortality, and time. Tharamaias is a timekeeper god and according to legend, all of existence is tethered to his abdomen, pulled along though time as he aimlessly wanders the tunnels carved out by Nurenin. Blind, deaf, and feeble of mind, Tharamaias is unable to care for himself, so he is looked after by the Caretaker God Berit. The tunnels that Tharamaias does not take are closed by the goddess Vaaltha. His symbol is generally depicted as two arms embracing a dark, circular void.

Description

Tharamaias is often depicted as a large, muscled man with long, unkempt hair that drags behind him as he moves. In place of his abdomen is an almost spherical, galaxy-like object, meant to portray all of existence. His blind eyes are generally made to be closed, and his face turned into a sour expression of pain, sadness, and confusion.

Tharamaias is believed to be weak of mind, driven only by a primal directive to keep moving forward.

Interpretations

Those that still believe the old legends of Tharamaias often argue over how literal his stories are; some view his endless walk through the tunnels of time to simply be metaphor, while others believe him to be an extradimensional entity that literally moves time forwards. Others still believe him to be contained in the planes of existence yet somehow exerts his will upon them, pulling time forward in a paradoxical, recursive loop which denotes the past through its previous iterations of dimensionality.
