Khoronus was an ambitious and jealous person while he was mortal. As the son of a powerful noble, he had nearly everything he wanted. The problem was that money and power could not buy love. His lover left him and married a foreign man named Bilgrane. Khoronus gathered a small army and waged war against them. After two years of bitter fighting, Bilgrane was finally captured. Despite their pleas for mercy, Khoronus had Bilgrane, his wife, and children all skinned alive and strung across the roof of their home. One of Bilgrane's servants managed to escape. She prayed unceasingly to all of the known gods for justice. Other people soon noticed her zeal and joined the cause. Eventually, a huge mob of people forced Khoronus to flee the area.

He could not outrun the gods, though. It is unknown how or why it happened, but the gods decided to intervene. About every other month for the rest of his life, Khoronus was moved forward and backward in time to different geographical locations. He eventually learned his lesson and cried out for forgiveness, but this was not enough. He continued to move throughout time against his will. At each stop he learned something new and once humbled, he began to gain wisdom. He grew strong from the experience and he started to have a beneficial impact on the people he met. His name became legend and his feats enabled him to reach immortality. He was finally free from the curse.

As a deity, he continues to move through time and increase his knowledge. His followers work to improve the lives of other people and diligently try to prevent rulers from repeating the mistakes of the past. Many rulers actually fear them because Khoronus clerics are revered and protected by the populace. The presence of one of these priests is usually enough to sway a ruler to take better actions or else face the wrath of the people or the church. Some rulers even avoid and destroy Khoronus followers in order to prevent a loss of power. Others will welcome a priest and utilize their abilities, hoping to gain something in return. In general, most powerful people both love and hate Khoronus clerics and react according to current conditions.
