Silpherenyes

The Silpherenyes are the two Guardians of the Bronze Chroniker. The Guardians, Iriph and Eraph, reside in the topmost portion of the Watchwork Tower on the Clockspine of Pryiam.

The Silpherenyes are small, imp-like creatures, each with a large, single silver eye resting above a mouthful of sharp, silvery fangs. The Silphereneyes have jet black skin and small bat wings. They wear silver robes and carry small silver pitchforks.

The Silphereneyes are the progeny of Ophros, the God of Time, who created them from two of his twelve silver eyes. They were created solely to keep the Bronze Chroniker safe from those who would use its power to manipulate Time for their own ends. The Silpherenyes are basically mindless creatures, assaulting with wild abandon all who attempt to find or take the Chroniker.

Because the ten remaining eyes of Ophros are made of both the ten days of the week and the ten months of the Sylvierian calendar, Iriph and Eraph are made of Time that is hidden from the regular flow of time. Ophros and his enemies, Chronomancers, can step outside of Time into the hidden Time of Iriph and Eraph. Mages keeping their lifeforces in the hidden months of Irist and Erast can, for all intents and purposes, live forever. Likewise, utilizing the hidden days of Iriday and Eraday, Mages can give themselves more Time than truly exists in a week.
