Alyssa nods, "I can extrapolate the problems, yes. I assume it will be part of the lessons?"

[Anastasia]

"Serious time travel? No," Chrona 42 says, "You aren't vulnerable to it, and in the event someone manages it, the Keepers of the Temporal Compact will personally deal with it. But there is more to chronomancy than going into the past. First of all, magical theory. Ahem." Chrona 42 clears his throat. "Do you know what the Absolute Present is?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I meant a deeper discussion about the restrictions and consequences. To ensure what I learned as a mortal was accurate, let's go with the full explanation."

[Anastasia]

Chrona sits on the steps at that, "Then rest and ask away. Don't worry about interference, we have time."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Let's start with absolute present."

[Anastasia]

"The Absolute Present or the Present is a term that indicates the current present time in Creation. Time travel to the past is possible in Creation but travel to the future is not. This is due to the fact that while the past and present are malleable and adjustable, the future is undetermined. This concept is called the Present or sometimes the Absolute Present. In other words, the nature of time means that travel past the Absolute Present is impossible."

Bastian takes that in, "And we're in the Absolute Present, right?"

"We are," Chrona confirms.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I understand the concept. What's the next piece?"

[Anastasia]

"Do you know and understand who the Keepers of the Temporal Compact are?" the Inevitable asks.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I can imagine the concept and purpose. Details, though? No."

[Anastasia]

"

The Keepers of the Temporal Compact oversee the enforcement of the Temporal Compact as well as deal with other matters related to time. Each of the nine alignments has a Keeper of the Temporal Compact, and they in turn are served by specially chosen servants from their ethos. They are additionally served by Quaruts and other creatures related to time. In other words, they're the ones who deal with all of this," Chrona 42 explains.

[Iron Dragoon]

"And do we meet these keepers?"

[Anastasia]

"If you wish," Is Chrona 42's answer. "For example, one of them is Erathaol, one of the Hebdomad, and you may have met him in matters unrelated to time."

[Iron Dragoon]

Uh, those sound familiar, but I can't recall?

[Anastasia]

Erathaol is a member of the Hebdomad, the leaders of Mount Celestia. I don't believe you've personally encountered him in character, but he tends to show up in Moore's threads semi regularly.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "I may run into him at some point, then, yes. And the one for my alignment?"
