Description

Caelus Nin is the Sumifan god of time and patron of the ancestors. In 35 AR, a tall, thin basalt head of Caelus Nin formed the double-faced gnomon of a white marble sundial at the village's main gate in Almaaz. The two faces of the gods wore equally severe expressions, and one of them held an hourglass in its knotted hands. Oaths invoked in the god's name include "By the Six Curses of Caelus Nin" and "By the cracked/broken face of Caelus Nin".[1]

An order following the faith of Caelus Nin called "the Ninnites" was formed in Almaaz in c. 1050 AR.
