Well, it's one of those It-Depends-Who-You-Ask Questions.

There are (as far as I'm aware) no worshipped deities of Time on

Glorantha. (Although I'm willing to be corrected on this.)

But the Theists think of Time as a hidden god (because they think of *everything* as having a god) who was the child of Arachne Solara.

The Brithini and the Darra Happans would reject the whole idea of Time starting at the Dawning and claim that they had the concept of Time and accurate (*they* say) measurements of its passage well before the return of Yelm.
