Who: Everyone
Where: In the Sacred City
When: King’s Year 199, Mid Winter
What:

[It had been a slow start through the fall. Nations full of people needing to settle and find shelter. And many despaired... how could such an enormous project be completed by the end of a mere two seasons when most were still milling about supplies and accommodations?

But as they do, gears shifted as the temperatures rose... as night became a nostalgic memory... Natural ingenuity blended with mad genius with simple practicality and by early winter, the great keystone... a project of masonry that had taken nearly as much time as the construction of the great stone walls themselves was complete and secured into place for the rest of the walls to be completed around it.

Construction had slowed ... even with ants to carve and carry, even with machinery of steam and clockwork and nearly a quarter of the world in labor.... the hours that COULD be worked became less and less... and working became less of a normal function and one of devotion, heroism and madness.

But today.... the last blocks had been placed, the keystone was in place and ready... Since last night the world has been thrown into blessed darkness. The air is uncomfortably warm, but no longer scalds to breathe, and the light comes from torches and magic.

Today, many people have gathered below the keystone, eyes turned upward.

Today, the supports are removed.]

[As you touch the symbol and invoke the Clockmaker, Master of Time, Time Turner, The Dial, the symbol becomes hard to hold in your hands. You brush for a moment, a presence unimaginably larger than your own. Steady, quiet, observant to the last detail. For a moment, just a moment, your mind slows down, and vision opens wide. You see the world in such overwhelming detail for a fraction of a second the sensory overload of action, growth, movement, LIFE in just that tiniest slice of time is overwhelming to you and the symbol drops from your nerveless fingers.

And then its gone.]

	[As the symbol of the Clockmaker is touched, it grows where it falls into a simple sun dial. Predictability to the system forming around you is restored... Torches glow and gutter, Dusk and Dawn take their turns, the passing of seconds becomes less a mutable thing of perception but something to be kept.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
