A legend of Clockspire and the Arcane Council
Last seen three centuries ago, Zelri Rivenstil was the Headmaster of Clockspire’s magical academy and a master of time-based magics. One morning, she calmly stepped out of bed and said:
“I need to alter this time stream.”
She walked into her own timestream to halt a feedback loop that she said would have shattered the Arcane Council itself. She reemerged a moment later — aged, silent, and glowing — having lived years in mere moments.
Since then, she has not spoken a word. She disappeared, and has not been seen since.
Signs of Her Presence
Legitimate records of sightings share common details:
- Clocks running backward
- Stars shining underground
- Notes arriving in her handwriting — advising scholars on projects or predicting events with unnerving precision
What Scholars Believe
She no longer moves linearly through time. Some say she exists simultaneously in the moment of her death — and its prevention.
