Goodlady Ephemeris

Her domains include day books, diaries, journals, and the calendar.

She was reassigned to Twilight following the reformation of the calendar to exclude days sacred to the Birdcatchers. Ephemeris had been adopted by them as a redeemed holy figure, due to their shared habit of chronicling everything obsessively in beautiful tomes bound in leather. Rumour has it that some of the Birdcatchers’ books were covered in human skin.

Very few depictions of her from that era survive. Those that do, show her as Goodlady Liber’s lover. One famous mural of the two survives in an exhibition, showing them in a tender embrace in a field of blooming violets and daisies.

She is most often shown against a grid in imitation of the calendar, and carrying a large, actual book in her icon’s hands. The pages are meant to be torn out by her devotees, as a means of dispensing daily fortunes. Mysteriously, they seem to regenerate overnight, as if by divine intervention. Many older books have her name inscribed in the front pages, asking for her to bless the writer with consistency and truth to self.
