Teri Machiavelli

Teri Machiavelli is Demi-Time Lord who used her chronomancy to become a master manipulator with a silver tongue. She is the daughter of The Time Lord Makoziak and The Rectress Sonen Mok.

### Chronomancy

Teri managed to learn some time magic from her father and used it to manipulate people. She would reset conversations over and over until she said the right thing to get what she wanted. She treated people like puzzles, just wondering what it would take to get what she wanted out of them. She used her powers and the knowledge she gained to control empires and destroy nations flippantly.

She eventually got caught by a few other timelords, including Makoziak. The other timelords called Avlon, who wanted to kill her. Makoziak pleaded for her them to spare her life, and Avlon agreed - but stripped her of her time powers and Sent her to a random point in time. She landed in the Wesjard, 3 years before the players arrived.

She soon realized she understood people well enough to control them without her magic, with just her words and the experience of millions and millions of repeated manipulative conversations. She got overconfident and tried to use her skills of manipulation to earn a place next to Emperor Kamash II so she could charm him and take over ruling in his place, but she didn't have her time magic to back her up and ended up getting caught. She was sentenced to death, but talked her way out and escaped, hiding away and learning charm magic. She studied for 3 years, then set her sights on finding Stumfenstone.

Her father had told her of an anomaly that was supposed to occur in the gnome city. She researched it more and discovered this anomaly could potentially restore her powers. Knowing that she would have to deal with time lords when this occurred, she got her hands on a bunch of baby time dragons. They are chained up in a cave beneath bubblebottom, preventing any time lords from leaving.

Once in Stumfenstone, She managed to become First Advisor to the Citychief. She completely charmed Mal and now rules the city.

Teri tried to manipulate The Wanderer's of The Expanse and use them against each other, which lead to a frustrating fight that left Thallica needing to be revived.

Dain Dawn and a future version of Dorian show up and get stuck in the Echo Bubble.

The Time Anomaly occurs when The Wanderers confront Teri at Silvertongue fort in Underroot. Teri had set up a trap with the Time Dragons and forced a situation where two of the Dorians meet face to face and are unable to leave. Both Dorians are instantly paralyzed and then:

> *Everyone watches as a crack in the air appears between the two Dorians. Darkness shines out like an anti-sun, stealing the light from the room. An eerie resonating humming emanates outward in pulses. Green images of people start to explode out of the seam, flying outward moving through the walls. You hear a distant echoing boom and feel the ground shake suddenly beneath your feet. Moments later, a louder, closer boom sounds, and you feel the floor beneath you drop 3 feet before suddenly coming to a stop again. A Loud snap sounds and the green images cease coming out. Moments later, a green duplicate of everyone around appears. It seems to be shifting between timelines, you see yourself young, some of you see yourselves old. The crack implodes suddenly, leaving a crackling ball of black lightning floating in the middle of the room. Everything suddenly quiets as you see Teri’s duplicate appear across from her at the end of the room. This Teri is not the pale figure you know, she stands tall and holds herself with an aura of confidence. She holds a quarterstaff with a gap in the center - floating in this gap are three white crystals. Teri reaches towards her green duplicate -*
> *“It worked! Ha! All that preparation was worth it. And to think I have all of you to thank. Worry not, I will not let you leave thankless. I have so much to do!”*

Before Teri could regain her powers, she was decapitated by Ziir, and the time dragons were released, allowing Dorian to leave and the time anomaly to end.
