Our existence is, naturally, tethered to our understanding of time, yet time does not exist for Gods as it does for us. Therefore, rather than time limiting Ignas and his fellow Gods, instead it is his servant. It exists - as we do - only by his will. He moves through time as we flip through the pages of a book. Whilst his physical form resides here with us, his essence exists in Sentiasa - the eternal that came before - having no beginning or end.’ - from Imloss Alvar’s fourth treatise on the nature of Ingmar.
