Ecliptaris & Tarrakon Time

Ecliptaris, as a mystery planet, has a time system that reflects the enigmatic nature of its existence. It is fluid, unpredictable, and tied to cosmic events rather than a strict calendar or structured cycles.

Time Characteristics:

  • Fluid Time: The people (or entities) of Ecliptaris don’t measure time in conventional ways. Time on the planet is relatively subjective—an experience felt differently depending on spiritual connection, cosmic alignments, or the presence of anomalies.

  • Cosmic Influence: Time can stretch or compress depending on the cosmic anomalies and temporal distortions present on the planet. For example, during Void Storms or cosmic alignments, time could seem to pass at a different rate—slower or faster than on other planets.

  • Non-Linear Time: The inhabitants or visitors do not follow linear time. Instead, they experience time as a spiral or circular loop, where past, present, and future are interconnected. Memory and prophecy could overlap, creating a sense of time that’s both eternal and cyclical.

Cultural Impact:

  • Ecliptaris doesn’t follow a traditional calendar—they have no fixed measurement of days or years. Instead, significant cosmic events act as markers, but how long those events last are often unknown or unpredictable.

  • Spiritual Events and Rituals: People of Ecliptaris measure their lives based on spiritual milestones or important cosmic events, like when a specific constellation aligns or when certain stars appear in the sky.

  • Time as a Mystery: The absence of structured time creates an aura of mystery around the planet, where inhabitants see themselves as being outside of normal time—a timeless existence connected to cosmic forces.

Tarrakon: Lost Civilization, Unknown Time System:

Tarrakon, as an ancient lost civilization had an advanced but now forgotten time system, with no current understanding of how time functions. Due to its mysterious ruins and cosmic connections, time here is seen as an enigma that has been lost to history.

Time Characteristics:

  • Lost Time System: Tarrakon may have had a highly advanced time system before the fall of its civilization, but this knowledge is now lost. The ruins may hold clues to their original time-keeping methods, but no one has yet uncovered how they measured or tracked time.

  • Unpredictable Time: After the fall, Tarrakon is caught in a state where time feels disconnected—certain regions might experience time anomalies. Some parts of the planet might be frozen in time, while others move at an accelerated or decelerated pace.

  • Relics and Time Paradoxes: The ancient artifacts of Tarrakon include time-related technology & mystical items that manipulate time in small ways—like time loops, stasis fields, or the ability to glimpse into the past. These artifacts might have lost their original function but still hold mystery for adventurers and scholars.

Cultural Impact:

  • Fragmented Understanding of Time: The people of Tarrakon (or explorers visiting it) have no clear concept of how time works anymore. Time could feel like a broken puzzle—pieces that don’t fit together.

  • Spiritual and Ritualistic Time: Any inhabitants who still follow ancient traditions might base their time system on rituals or celestial events that are tied to lost knowledge—perhaps relying on guidance from the ruins, star maps, or mystical objects.

  • Time as a Forgotten Artifact: Time on Tarrakon is not just lost—it is something forgotten by its people. Exploring the planet could be an attempt to reconstruct their past, understand their time system, and unlock the secrets of time manipulation that their ancestors once had.
