Tempus Peak is the central convergence hub for all timestreams. Deep within its glassen caverns is the Seat of Time, Home of Tempus and Solair.

History

It started out as a crater where Tempus landed, but it didn't take long for the timestreams to not only completely fill the hole, but also lay down an entire mountain on top of it.

Description

A single lonely mountain in the middle of the desert of Ohmal. What should be geographically impossible is caused by the flowing sands of time that converge on this mountain, and Solair, the Goddess of Heat, scorching these sands into glass, manifesting an evergrowing mountain.

Visually, it appears to be a giant mountain of sand, held in shape by irregularly formed glass pillars. A massive Vortex of sand emerges from the top of the mountain, where the timestreams disperse into nothingness, ultimately covering the entire mountain in endless sandstorm-like weather.

Always clearly visible from afar is a giant gate entirely made from glass that leads into the inner caverns of the mountains and ultimately into the Seat of Time.

Seat of Time

Glass halls that appear to be nearly infinite and rivers of sand are constantly flowing up the walls through tube-like crevices. Within the center of it all is a massive hall with two thrones, the seats of Tempus, God of Time; and Solair, Goddess of Heat, where they can sit hand in hand together to guide the sands to their final goal, the Mountains Peak. The flow of time within these halls is so chaotic that unprepared mortals are unlikely to survive longer than a few moments inside, as they randomly age continuously, which puts an unbearable, deadly strain on the body if not even instantly brings it past its life expectancy.

Natural Ressources

Tempus Peak is the only source in the world of Temporal Glass, a material harder than diamond and always warm to the touch.

Trivia

  • As the glass from this mountain is imbued with the concept of time itself, many people consider it a sign of longevity when used in art or jewelry. One common example are engagement rings, which socketed jewel is usually made of glass from this very mountain. Additionally, the heat that radiates from the glass often reminds people of home, sitting around their fireplace, feeling cozy and safe.
