Domains: Gemstone mechanism, time-and-craft, the engineered measurement of an hour, the gear that releases what the gem holds.
Era of ascension: Great Expansion (~2,300 BSD). Cohort: current. Tixpi rose with the Ohblex enclave's craftshouse consolidation in the gem-rich highlands, when the practice of pairing precision-cut gemstones with clockwork escapements — the Ohblex signature trade — became a discipline its practitioners began to teach as a vocation rather than as a household skill.
Worshipped by: Ohblex jewel-mechanics, the escapement-cutters who shape the small pieces that step a mechanism's drive forward in measured bites, the polishers who finish the gemstone bearings without which the mechanisms cannot keep their accuracy. Goshwen inventor-tricksters share the rites in a reframed inflection: where Ohblex worship is the jeweler's mechanism — accurate, slow, expensive — Goshwen worship is the prankster's gear — clever, fast, surprising. The two enclaves trade tools and laugh at each other's reverences; the worship is the same daemon read two ways. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)
Tixpi is the daemon of measured time, and the measurement is what separates her from Azak. Azak is the divinatory daemon: he is the patron prayed to for what will happen, the future-reader's god whose worshippers consult smoke and bone and dream-pattern for the shape of the unrolled day. Tixpi is the mechanical daemon: the patron prayed to for what is happening, the hour as the clock measures it, the present as a quantity a craftsperson can build a mechanism to display accurately. An Ohblex jewel-mechanic worships Tixpi at the bench. An Ohblex fortune-teller — there are a few — worships Azak at the table. An Ohblex who keeps both vocations, who reads fortunes from the face of a clock they have made themselves, worships both, and the doctrinal split is the worship's productive tension.
The bench-rite is the worship's daily form. An Ohblex jewel-mechanic opens the working day by pulling out a previous day's mechanism, listening to its tick for thirty breaths, and noting whether the tick has drifted from the rate the mechanism was set to. The noting is the prayer. A mechanism that is keeping its rate is the daemon's blessing on the bench's previous day's work. A mechanism that has drifted is the daemon's notice that the bench's previous day's work requires correction. Ohblex jewel-mechanics treat the drift readings as honest data; the mechanism that is drifting is not a failure of the daemon, only a notice from her, and the correction is the worshipper's response. A mechanic who has stopped reading the drift is held by the craftshouse-master to have stopped worshipping, and the bench is reassigned.
The lore-handle Ohblex jewel-mechanics carry is: the gem holds the hour; the gear releases it. The doctrinal corollary is that a mechanism without its gemstone bearings is a mechanism that cannot keep accurate time, and a mechanism without its escapement gears is a gemstone that cannot release the hour it has been holding. The two are not separable; the worship is the marriage of the slow stone and the precise metal, and the Ohblex craftshouse is the place the marriage is conducted. Tixpi accepts the work. The hours tick out. The mechanisms keep their rate, mostly.
