Description They appear to be human-like in shape, with large foreheads and rough, green skin. They are gaunt, often wearing only natural hued robes.
Procreation With other reverents for new reverents. They have a sacred Code of the Seasons that they will not breed outside their own kind.
Magic

One in a hundred have heart magic, and one in ten have soul magic. Mind and body magic are possible. Void is possible. Faith is nearly ubiquitous.
Special Powers A reverent has the ability to step outside of time. From there, they tend to the seasons of the world, making sure they pass as they ought to. Each season brings to them a new power: rebirth brings them the ability to go back in time a whole day, spring brings them the power to restart the day entirely without going back, beltane allows them to speed time up, summer allows them to slow it down, harvest allows them to add time, autumn allows them to reverse it for hours at a time, fallow allows them to stop it entirely, winter allows them to slow it to a crawl, and thaw allows them to slow and speed it in short bursts. In a dry season, they can slow it, and in a wet season, they can speed it up.
Weaknesses If they break the code, other reverents will kill them. Filth magic or faith will kill them.
Culture Reverents exist to tend the seasons. They move through time, finding places where anomalies have threatened the natural cycles of the world, and they fix them. They are bound to a code that prevents them from abusing their powers.
