Oooo! I like that idea.
You could suggest that Chauntea herself oversees the "terrestial" conception of Time -- as in the elemental nature of time impacting until the world. Whereas Jergal, like in my earlier suggestion, oversees the mortal conception of Time. |

I just came to a realization. (and if it's been said here on the thread, I may have skipped it)
Doesn't GRUMBAR have Time in his portfolio? I believe it says so in his entry in "Faiths&Avatars". |

'Changeleness' now there is an interesting portfolio. Does it suggest Grumbar would oppose 'time' marching on? |

I would expect it refers more to remaining constant, despite the passage of time -- much like a mountain range will appear unchanging, even across elven or dragon generations. |

I might just be bias as well =)
If you base it on the passage of a huge celestial body (moon), then might as well pick the bigger one (sun), Lathander/Amaunator.
I still like the concept of Time being a shared portfolio... of Mystra, Amaunator, Selune, and Auppenser. |

There's a god-like being who's in charge of the space-time continuum in the series The World Reflected in the Eyes of a Girl Looking Up at the Heavens. Don't be fooled by the ridiculous title. That animated series is really good, rife with interesting characters and wonderfully rendered magical and tech battles. It's based on the OVA Munto, though the animation is significantly better that its predecessor. [The movie was released before the series.]
Anyway, the said being is called Gass, an "Outsider," a "supposed" impartial guardian of the space-time continuum, who makes sure no one from the kingdoms of Heavens ever cross over to Earth. He is bound by the rule of impartiality, made manifest by his tattoos. Breaking that rule means the destruction of his own body.
He'd be a nice model for a Torilian God of Time, I think. |

| In our games we had Jaunadozor a lwaful neutral God of time, who was one of two beings directly under Ao, only the gods new of their existence however. and in the case of the above could make requests for the use of powers from his portfolio. |

No, time isn't simply perception. if it was then cellular decay wouldn't be a problem. And as far as gravity is concerned, it's a very real affect, it's the cause that's somewhat confusing, although the research on electromagnetics is bareing the greatest fruit on that, as everything in the universe has some level of an electromag field. some just stronger than others. There seems to be a strong co-varying relationship to field strngth and particle mass. |

And he looks cool, too. When rendered in 3D, plus some tweaks of his tattoos, he'd look excellent. As for his powers, they are destructive enough. Though I haven't seen their full potential, because even early in the series, he's broken the taboo, thereby limiting the use of his abilities. |
