Treavery in its positive form is the power to manipulate time through the use of water, as time shares many of water's traits. In it's negative form, it is the loss of time and memories.
The Mechanics
Tanroa rarely intervenes directly in the affairs of men. Her very presence and existence creates a powerful force. She feels her constant influence of time and aging is invasive enough.
When Tanroa acts, it is subtle, but the ramifications of her actions either reach to the destiny of the world or are contained to a miniscule ripple. Only in dire or entirely inconsequential cases does she divert or stay her hand.
She has no formal followers, as her power has reaches beyond being incumbent on their faith. Unlike Lhex, Tanroa takes interest in the affairs of men, but as a spectator. To her, the world and universe comprise a magnificent work of art, a sublime song, a loved story. She knows the beginning and end of things and exists in a beautiful limbo. Tanroa both exists in and above the moment. She is both the river of time and hovering above the current, knowing where it has been, will go and will end.
As a lover of the story of the world, Tanroa will occasionally insert herself to save it, or to add a brief line to beautify it. One of her methods of doing so is the gift of her gnosis. None can earn or beg a positive gnosis of Tanroa. She arrives and gives them when it suits her ends.
To award her gnosis, Tanroa will place her hands over the followers eyes and breathe a word that has no recognizable sound or distinction. It is a word of pure meaning, too full for the recipient to completely understand.
The positive gnosis is unique in its location and appearance. It is a faint circle that rings the pupil in silver or gold and glows a starry blue when activated, the circle widens and flourishes with every progression. Creatures without pupils have a star like point of light recessed into their eyes. The gnosis is not easy to spot, it is usually caught when one turns a certain way into the light.
