Lendor (LEN-dor) is depicted as a white-haired and bearded huskey old man. :argely withdrawn from the affairs of the world to care for larger issues. Lendor considers himself superior to the other Powers. This very old Wearth Power is often referred to as "Prince of Time and Tedium", which explains why his reverence is almost extinct on Wearth. Said to be the creator of other Wearth Powers, Lendor is distant, aloof, and preoccupied with the unfolding of events through time in all the multiverse.
Time stretches to infinity, and issues that seem pressing are mearly a smaller part of a larger whole. In order to make sense of the universe, one must look at the entire mosaic instead of just a part of it. Age brings experience, wisdom, and the impetus to take things slow.
Lendors handful of worshippers are sages, old men, and others distant from everyday concerns. They tend to generraly be sages, village elders, and record keepers. They tend to have little interaction with the outside world, remaining cloistered in their libraries and temples for years at a time. Occasionaly a younger person will be drawn to this faith, taking the role of a wandering advisor, preaching the need to keep the present in perspective; these preachers often become advisors to conservative leaders or mount expeditions to recover ancient tomes and artifacts lost for generations.
Services to this Power involve interminable recitations, officiated by elderly clerics who find it difficult to recruit others to their faith. The clergy of Lendor is elderly, rigid, and uncreative. This clergy is preoccupied with ritual, formalities, and unswerving devotion to lawful neutrality.
