Nistxeri

The Time-Keeper, Nistxeri is an immortal, mythical figure in Shiqan stories said to wander the world with magical timepiece. Represented widely throughout art and religion, Nistxeri is not only a figure of the empire Shiqai, but of the world.

Etymology
The name Nistxeri literally means 'moon counter,' referring to the way time is measured by the cycles of the moons. It comes from the First Shiqan words 'nist' (moon), 'xer' (to count), and 'I' (person). Named around the year 5500 by a little-known Shiqan poet, Nistxeri had been present in myths for almost 500 years before throughout countrysides and villages.

The Day the World Caught on Fire
Nistxeri is said to have been born on the first day of Year 0, from the ashes of the previous world. That being said, he is the oldest being on the planet, if he does indeed exist. Since his birth, Nistxeri is said to have wandered the world with his magical clock, a glass orb which he carries on rope. Dressed in ancient Shiqan clothing, he is an ambiguous figure who does not interfere with mortal events and lives only to see the end of time.
