Coroc, God of Time

Coroc is the God of Time. He is the eldest child of Neket.

Origins and Creations
Towards the end of the First Era, Neket sealed away the Elder Gods of Somara into the Sealed Planes, in order to minimize their influence over the world.

In anticipation of his own absence, he created six children to bring order to Somara in his stead; they are Coroc, God of Time; Fune, God of Vengeance; Targus, God of Knowledge; Ultha, God of Language; Chaina, Goddess of Luck; and Mala, Goddess of Peace.

Coroc's domain was time. He was given ownership over the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus, an Outer Plane that is home to the Modrons. Coroc's main duties are to insure that the natural laws of the universe are not violated, and has created many different kinds of constructs (such as the inevitables) to help him accomplish this.

Appearance
Coroc rarely leaves Mechanus, but he takes on the same appearance there that he does on any other plane.

Coroc takes the form of a tall clockwork humanoid. His skin is made of plates of bronze, and the constant ticking and moving of his gears can be heard by any who are near him. Coroc is completely hairless, and his eyes are balls of pure silver that glow with a pale light.

His appearance is often likened to that of a Kolyarut, though he is generally taller and more polished than these creatures.

Coroc carries a pair of golden shortswords named Tempus and Locus.

Personality
As a creature of absolute law, Coroc is very black-and-white in his duties. He has no tolerance for those who attempt to cause great upheaval in Somara. He despises those who seek to violate the laws of the universe (such as by cheating death, killing gods, etc.) and will often kill them without an afterthought. The greatest insult to Coroc, however, would be to threaten the neat and perfect order of Mechanus. Many unwary travelers of the planes have found themselves cursed or imprisoned by an angry Coroc after unintentionally injecting chaos into his plane.

To Coroc, time itself is fluid. He sees all - the past, the present, and the future - and as a result, believes that the universe will always right itself over time. He rarely intercedes in the affairs of mortals unless there is a threat that could cause the universe to end, or if one attempts to violate its natural laws. This has given Coroc a reputation of apathy, but this is not the case - he simply sees that though bad things may happen, they can lead to greater good down the road.

Worship
Coroc's primary worshipers are the modrons, who reside in Mechanus alongside him. He does grant power to some of his mortal worshipers, however, making them clerics or paladins. His clerics usually fall under the Order Domain, and his paladins typically swear an Oath of the Crown or Oath of Inquisition.

The Cult of the Turning Wheel is the largest organization dedicated to Coroc. They are a group primarily made up of warforged, and are generally nihilistic, believing that any wrong that happens will be self-corrected by the universe.
