Aeon

# Background

Once residing in a realm of magic and mysteries (known as Chronosa) this Clockworth now roams the lands of Aeros, first awakening in a cold, desolate region of the ocean on a massive fleet of icebergs, beginning their journey alone and confused. To cope with the massive shift, they have begun to write in a journal they had on them as the transition occured. Not much is known of this traveler, but they intend to find out much of what this land contains, documenting any findings they come acorss on their Journey through Aeros. [**UPDATE** as of 1/9/23] Now known as Aeon, they reside within the nation **Southern Maru**.

## Appearance

Dressed in teal, white, and greenish-brown steampunk-esque attire donning a bowtie, with a light blue head resembling that of an analog clock.

## Origin

Although their origin is unknown to the people of Aeros, Aeon has been able to retain some information from their home, Chronosa, although the transition from there and Aeros has led to some loss of memory.

## Chronosa

Choronosa is a realm of unimaginable wonder, consisiting of a combination of mechnical constructs and the natural magic residing in the realm itself. Described in Aeon's journal is various details of the main city in Chronosa, Chaon [Although it is often referred to as the entirery of Chronosa due to its size].

### Chaon Details

In Chaon, there are towers known as the 'Towers of Diamond' which are known by Aeon to form a massive, nearly impregnable shield cast across the city. These towers are estimated to be 120ft tall and the number of total towers may range from 50-100 [The full size of the city is unkown]. In the center of the city lies the 'Tower of Time' where the **Keeper of Time** resides as well as where Clockworths are manufactured and distributed and also acts as a psudeo-capital to the city. It is possible 'powerful simulations' took place here as briefly touched on in an entry. The city is ruled with a non-democratic system although it is unclear what system it does use, if any. Although the city of Chaon was created with the idea of mechanical constructs and magic working in tandem, it seems the **Keeper of Time** has all but rid Chaon of any trace of magic being present due to its 'unpredictable' existence. As well as this, it appears the city is made of purely stone and mechanics with some foliage although tailored specifically to the Keeper's liking.

### Religion

Based on Aeon's Journal Entries and knowledge retained in the transition, the primary religion of Chronosa is the monotheistic religion of Chronism. Chronism appears to worship the **Keeper of Time** a being of unknown origin and ability although it does actually exist as it has been observed to serve as a defacto leader in the non-democratic society of Chronosa. The **Keeper of Time** is believed to have the ability to see across space, and potentially time, as Aeon's question 'Can he even see me here?' in a Journal Entry. Overall the religion appears to worship the concept of time itself and it's consistency combined with delicacy, with the **Keeper of Time** serving as a figurehead overseeing and managing time itself. No known ritualistic acitives have been documented so far. The **Keeper of Time** appears to have some ability that produces 'light' as briefly touched on in an entry.

## Journal Entries

- **Day 1, Entry 1** - I have awoken in a strange land, I am piecing together potential theories as to why this aberration in my life has occurred although they are just theories. I am surrounded by ocean and ice, perhaps a glacier or iceberg. It is cold, I am afraid, Keeper of Time send your blessing. After some exploration I have found a table made of wood that appears to be capable of crafting items, perhaps I am not alone out here. I will write another entry once I have found more…suitable conditions for myself.

- **Day 2, Entry 1** - I must disregard my previous statement, I traversed this icy hell scape throughout the night to find nothing but more. I have also learned that in whatever transition occurred between my realm and this one, I have begun to experience the phenomenon ‘hunger’. I am struggling to satiate this newfound hindrance. However, as I was exploring I found a strange structure under the glaciers it is made of a strange pulsating greenish hued material. It is located near the coordinates -200, 63, 692. I will save my ink and write again once I find land. Hopefully.

-- **Day 2, Entry 2** - More ice. I swam for nearly half a day and found nothing but more ice. I am losing hope. I am afraid. Has the Keeper abandoned me in this new Realm? Can he even see me here? Time will tell if I write again.

- **Day 3, Entry 1** - Thank the Keeper! He blessed me with his all powerful light. A boat left in the middle of the ocean, my legs and arms could take only a little longer and I was saved by this single boat. I have reached land, I have obtained resources and food. I am ok.

-- **Day 3, Entry 2** - I have come across a village which should provide suitable housing for a short period of time while I decide what to do. I have ventured back into the cold, a snowy landscape of small, bumpy hills. Although as I have wandered I do wonder if there are others out there. Of course there are items I have found placed and created not by me, but what if they are simply a glitch in a large scale simulation? Perhaps similar to those we would conduct in Chronosa? We shall see.

- **Day 4, Entry 1** - I decided to head out near sunrise and ventured into a warmer, more delicate environment with wondrous trees and mushrooms bigger than even the Towers of Diamond! Furthermore I have obtained enough food to last a good while, the Keeper has guided me to a safe haven. Perhaps I may find others here.

-- **Day 4, Entry 2** - I have explored deeper into the forest and arrived at a dryer area, the trees appear to be of a different species as well. Luckily I have only been made to experience hunger and not other human bodily functions assuming that's what this hunger is based off of. It is strange to see foliage in the wild when Chronosa is so tailored to perfection, the variation and diversity of life is intriguing. I do wonder why the Keeper would not want this present within his area of control. Was this to be Chronosa, the trees would be cut and molded to his liking and much of the land would be replaced with stone and mechanics. ~~Magic had all been phased out by the time I left as it was too unpredictable for the Keepers liki~~ . I needn’t continue. The sun sets.

- **Day 6, Entry 1** - I missed a day. I was knocked unconscious by an unknown source and awoke in what I assume to be a port hub, location unclear. Although it is quite delightful to be here, I have seen others! I am not alone. We did not speak but they were there, I am not alone. However, that begs the question of what is this place? I am unsure, but I hope to find out.

-- **Day 6, Entry 2** - I have seen more and more individuals here. They are not Clockworths and most definitely not of Chronosian origin. Many are also heavily armored. Is it more dangerous here than I was aware of? I am going to explore the world and see what I can find I will write when I get the chance.

- **Entry 10** - I have lost count of the days and will be noting every entry by simply 'Entry' moving forward. I have come to the realization that the people of this realm have "names" and do not all go by human as a Clockworth may simply go be 'Clockworth'. So as a step towards being an individual away from the other Clockworths, I have given myself the name **Aeon**. I also see this fitting as I don't feel like a Clockworth anymore. I have seen and experienced more than I ever thought imaginable and I am not the same Clockworth that entered this realm, not anymore. Furthermore I have come across one of the many nations I've learned dot the land they call 'Aeros'. Southern Maru has been gracious enough to take me in, I hope to use my skill sets in a way that benefits them.
