|Introduction=Kairos is the first [[Ascendant Spirit]] and the embodiment of time within the cosmology of [[Adaris]]. As the spirit of time, Kairos controls the flow of moments, ensuring the continuity of day and night, birth and death, and the progression of events.

|Nature and influence=Kairos came into existence at the pivotal moment when the Primordial Elements began to interact and create the physical world of Adaris. As the interplay of light and darkness—embodied by [[Dharas]] and [[Arafia]]—intensified, the need for a temporal framework became apparent. Without the passage of time, the world remained in a state of eternal chaos, with no beginning or end, creation or destruction.

~~In response to this need, Kairos emerged bringing structure to the cosmos.~~

|Relationship with other elements=As the first [[Ascendant Spirit]], Kairos interacts with both the primordial and ascendant spirits. Its role as the keeper of time means that it holds a unique position in the hierarchy of spirits, respected by all for its power and neutrality.

|Realm=Kairos established its domain, known as Satta or the Realm of Time, at the intersection of light and dark. Sataa is unique among the realms as it encompasses all the elemental realms within its boundaries, allowing the flow of time to touch every aspect of existence in Adaris. It serves as the space through which the elemental realms move, creating the cyclical nature of day and night, the changing of seasons, and the progression of life.

While the manipulation of time is inherently limited and localized—affecting small-scale phenomena over short periods—there are legends of those who have attempted to exert greater influence over time, with varying degrees of success and danger.

|Significance and worship=As the spirit of time, Kairos holds significant influence over the lives of all beings in Adaris. It governs the natural rhythms of life, from the daily cycle of the sun and moon to the life cycles of all creatures. Many cultures in Adaris revere Kairos as a guiding force, recognizing that time is both a giver and taker, a force of creation and destruction.

|Philosophical interpretations=Kairos's existence raises profound philosophical questions about the nature of time and its role in the cosmos. Some see Kairos as a benevolent force, guiding the flow of time to ensure balance and order in the universe. Others view it as a neutral observer, indifferent to the events it witnesses, merely keeping the wheels of time turning.

Scholars and mystics alike ponder the implications of time on consciousness and existence. Is time a linear path leading to a predetermined end, or is it a vast, interconnected web where every moment exists simultaneously? These debates continue to shape the philosophical landscape of Adaris, influencing everything from the study of Osia to the governance of its societies.
