Temporal Resonance Level: 7.83
The Chronarium of Lubbard is not merely a collection of records; it is a living echo of temporal distortions. Established by the Archon Silas Blackwood in the year 1478, it exists outside the conventional flow of time, a nexus point where fragments of forgotten epochs converge. The source of its power is the Heartstone of Aethel, a geode pulsating with raw chronal energy, discovered during the excavation of the Whispering Cairns.
Legend claims that the Archon Blackwood sought to understand the "Shimmers," brief, disorienting lapses in reality that plagued the region. He believed these Shimmers were not random occurrences, but rather tears in the fabric of time, and the Chronarium was designed to capture and analyze them. However, the Chronarium’s influence has grown far beyond its initial purpose. It now documents not just the Shimmers, but the echoes of entire civilizations – the rise and fall of the Kryll Empire, the melancholic reign of Queen Lyra of the Silverwood, and the unsettling rituals of the Obsidian Cult.

The initial Shimmer manifested as a localized distortion – a brief, nauseating sensation accompanied by a visual echo of a crimson forest. The Heartstone registered a spike in chronal energy, and Archon Blackwood immediately began recording the event. He noted strange auditory anomalies – a chorus of voices speaking in a language unknown to any known scholar.
The recording indicates a possible connection to the Kryll Empire, known for their mastery of temporal manipulation.

A prolonged Shimmer originating from the Silverwood, manifesting as a wave of profound sadness and regret. The Heartstone recorded a concentrated psychic signature – the essence of Queen Lyra, trapped within a loop of her final moments. The recording is disturbing, filled with images of a crumbling palace and a single, wilting silver rose.
Analysis suggests a possible causal link between Lyra’s death and the sustained Shimmer. The emotional resonance seems to be feeding the Chronarium's power.

A complex and unsettling Shimmer originating from the ritual chamber of the Obsidian Cult. The recording is dominated by a cacophony of chanting and the smell of sulfur. Images flicker – grotesque figures performing a sacrifice beneath a blood-red moon. The Heartstone experienced a critical surge, nearly destabilizing the entire temporal matrix.
