Gates of Eternity

The Gates of Eternity is the origin of all Time on Cocoon, and the place from which all threads of time for every living organism is bound, like a collective registry. From trees to ants, humans and ancients, all matter is subject to the scrutiny of the Time Lord, who governs the Gates of Eternity with austerity.
It is from here where all time continuously flows from, and where it will arrive at its end, creating a new cycle to accompany life, death and the ever fluid motion of the natural world.
Mortal mages and sorcerers have sought to discover the location of the Gates of Eternity, deriving from the theory that to step foot within would grant their person immortality, and sever them from the flow of time.
