|Introduction=Kairos is the first [[ascendant spirit]] and the embodiment of time within the cosmology of [[Adaris]]. Unlike the primordial spirits born from the Primordial Void, Kairos emerged as a necessary force to bring order to the chaotic interplay of the primordial elements. 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.

|Realm=Kairos established its domain, known as the Realm of Time, or Sataa, at the intersection of light and dark, day and night. 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 Sataa encompasses all the elemental realms, there are certain domains that lie outside the reach of time. The realms of light and darkness, governed by Dharas and Arafia, as well as the realms of imagination and consciousness held by [[Awenlas]] and [[Daathir]], exist beyond the influence of Kairos. These realms are timeless, not bound by the flow of moments that define Sataa.

|Osia=Kairosia is the subtle and elusive branch of Osia that involves the manipulation of time. Practitioners of Kairosia, known as Kairosiari, align themselves with the flow of time, tapping into the consciousness of Kairos to influence small temporal events. Unlike the manipulation of elements such as fire or water, Kairosia deals with the intangible—allowing a skilled Kairosiari to make a watch run faster, slow down their perception of time, or slightly alter the speed of events around them.

While the manipulation of time is inherently limited and localized—affecting small-scale phenomena over short periods—there are legends of Kairosiari who have attempted to exert greater influence over time, with varying degrees of success and danger. Most practitioners accept that Kairosia is about working within time's flow, rather than against it.
