Time Crystals

Whenever the mod team Retcons an ingame event, for whatever reason, a Time Crystal appears in game wherever the retconned event occurred(if the location is unclear, it falls from the sky two tiles north of Riverrun). A Time Crystal is a 3 feet tall, blue crystal pulsing with bright light exactly once every 1.34 seconds. A person can only physically carry one Time Crystal at a time.

Using Time Crystals

Time Crystals can be used for multiple purposes, mainly popping Time Bubbles and Retconing.

One(1) Time Crystal can be used to instantly pop a Time Bubble. All involved characters will simply black out for the amount of time required to bring the time bubble up to the game’s current time. They sustain no harm, hunger, pain or disruption until they awake in the present time.

If a character can gather ten(10) Time Crystals in one map tile, they can then choose to force a retcon of any in game event in the past IC year. For every additional ten(10) Time Crystals gathered, the event retconned can be one year further back.

The Time Wizard

The head of whichever claim controls the most Time Crystals is considered IC and OOC to be the Time Wizard. The Time Wizard’s players is immune to rules about metagamed knowledge, they know all, however all characters IC know the identity of the Time Wizard, and their location at all times. Killing the Time Wizard instantly creates 1(One) new Time Crystal at the location of their death, and also allows the killer to take any or all of the previous Time Wizard’s Time Crystals.

Further Uses of Time Crystals

10(Ten) Time Crystals can also be used to undo a retcon done by the mod team, so long as it has occured in the past week OOC.

Twenty(20) Time Crystals can be used to immediately end, or start a Slowdown.

The players of The Faith, and The Alchemist Guild can freely destroy any Time Crystals they get their hands on, using holy water and Wildfyre respectively. Destroying a Time Crystal causes all characters who have previously come in contact with it to lose a random body part, as rolled on this table:

As well as the Time Wizard, characters with smaller amounts of Time Crystals also earn titles, however these are only known IC to other Time Crystal owners.

Table 1-2, Time Crystal Owner Titles

A character that is directly exposed to more than 20 Time Crystals at once will gain a faint blue glow for the rest of their life, and when they die, a new Time Crystal will appear at the place of their death.
