Whilsst

Whilsst is the tenth of the ten Decaphros, the Wardens of the Passing Months and the offspring of Ophros, the God of Time.

Whilsst appears as a stark white nebula hanging in the Void between Llewsol the Violet and Jhoerst the Gray Decaphrost. When Ophros' Watchwork Tower on the Clockspine first becomes aligned with Whilsst, her namesake month begins.

Whilsst manifests on Pryiam as a humanoid automaton made out of white metal cabinets with glass doors. Whilsst has one, smallish square cabinet for a head, with an ivory skull inside. Her torso is made of several interlocked cabinets of various sizes. One of her torso cabinets contains a withered white heart, one contains a pile of shattered bones, and one contains three live white bats. The small but long cabinets that make up her arms and legs house various white or translucent crystals and minerals, ashes and a white squid preserved in a thick fluid.

Whilsst's attendant Mephilyrost is Daexeri, the Quill, and Whilsst's tribe is named for it. Whilsst is the Goddess of the Written Word, Stories and History. The members of the Daexeri tribe are often called The Curators, and they preserve the Chronicle, the History of Sylvieria overseen by Whilsst. The Chronicle exists as the centerpiece of the Daexeri Library in the Great Museum at Whyrssxi.
