Platinammine isn't simply a substance; it’s a temporal anomaly, a solidified echo of a forgotten harmonic. It was first discovered within the Obsidian Labyrinth, a subterranean network rumored to be built by the Chronomasters—an extinct civilization obsessed with manipulating the flow of time. The Labyrinth itself reacts to Platinammine, its corridors subtly shifting, revealing new pathways and concealing others with unnerving precision. The key to understanding Platinammine lies not in its physical properties—which remain stubbornly elusive—but in its ability to resonate with the residual temporal energy imprinted upon the surrounding environment.
Initial scans indicated a complex molecular structure, interwoven with what appeared to be crystallized chroniton particles—hypothetical particles thought to be the fundamental building blocks of time. However, attempts to isolate these chronitons resulted in cascading temporal distortions, manifesting as fleeting visions of alternate realities and objects phasing in and out of existence. The Chronomasters, according to fragmented texts recovered from the Labyrinth, believed that Platinammine could be used to ‘tune’ the fabric of time, creating localized temporal pockets for observation or, theoretically, manipulation.
Stabilize Chronometric Core
Each instance of Platinammine exhibits a unique chronometric signature—a complex pattern of temporal vibrations. These signatures aren't static; they fluctuate depending on the surrounding environment, influenced by the presence of other temporal anomalies and the overall density of chroniton activity. Analysis of these signatures using the Chronometric Harmonizer reveals a series of nested temporal layers, like concentric circles expanding outward. Each layer represents a distinct temporal event—a moment of significant energy release, a violent disruption, or a period of intense observation.
The most prominent signature detected within the Obsidian Labyrinth corresponds to the ‘Great Confluence,’ a catastrophic event believed to have shattered the Chronomasters’ primary temporal engine. This event isn’t just a historical record; it’s actively reshaping the Labyrinth, creating a feedback loop where the damage caused by the Confluence is continuously amplified by the presence of Platinammine.
