Background
As God of Labour, Khepros represents strength and a will to work for the needs of the many. In union with Aechronos, the God of Time, Khepros is said to have been the one to roll the eight planets of Auria into place and be there to maintain them through the thick and thin of it.
In the Dusk of Dawn, having a particular fondness for the Senkh that inhabited the desert of Livanin and fearing for their safety as an endless horde of Demons rained from the skies above, Khepros fought valiantly alongside his personal army of Skherabi warriors in the desert, his heroic stance and vigilant guardianship would become inspiration for the Primal Senkh who had the fortune of witnessing a God's avatar first hand. Khepros would go down in legend among the Senkh, with many-a stories and song telling of his protective nature at that time leading to him becoming the prime god of worship for the young race.
At the wake of the great celestial war which resulted in the destruction of one of the eight Aurian worlds, Khepros would fall into sorrow having failed to participate in the true fight above to defend the Senkh in their hour of need. Believing himself to blame for the destruction of Dragoosh, Khepros would not make many attempts at garnering Faith from the Mortals that now revered him, leaving their voices unheard when they prayed to him and as time would travel on and facts become myth, Khepros' significance would reduce and in his place of prime worship would go Aechronos, the God of Time.
Overtime, the God of Labour would find his way again and continue his work, returning to the sons of the desert a vision of his grand figure that told them that their Faith towards him was never misplaced and that he was forever grateful for having been their to save their race, knowing deep down now that Dragoosh was fated to fall the moment Xaxandros turned on the Pantheon. For his presence, the Senkh gained a newfound reverence towards him and an inspiration to research the texts of the Senkh of old and preserve them, which would lead to the start of the Senkh becoming the world's most profound historians and chroniclers.
