Cartoran is a popular deity among scholars, the educated and high society. He flows freely through the tides of time, merely watching and never mingling in the affairs of mortal men. He has been seen through the Empire, disguised as a beggar and traveling without destination.

He is usally portraited as an unnaturally tall blond male with curly hair and troubled eyes, often surrounded by a symbol for the flow of time like an clock or an old man.

Belief in him is more of a fashion than a need for empowerment, since he does not bestow any powers upon his followers, nor does he answer their prayers. A few cities have a small shrine dedicated to Cartoran and other lesser deities.

Some scholars says, contrary to common belief, that Cartoran is not a god of time, but a slave bound to journey through eternity. Once a normal man he used dark rites to twist the fabrics of time. This to gain immortality and the ablity to see in the future and the past. He was successful and will never die of old age. But his apprentice Antrmona betrayed his foul intentions to the gods. For his crimes they cursed him to travel endlessly through time without the ablity change the outcome. He has seen his own death and release at the hands of a warrior from a future past.6
