    She comes from a long line of powerful astrologians what else dose she need to be or study?

    There is the fact most present day "Geomancers" are charlatans working against its credibility tho.

    However Rammbroes isn't in Sharlaya right now something picked up in other explorations if not studied there ?
    I still think it is, however Sharlayans focus on astrologians being the preferred form of divination.

    Actually Alexander itself is preventing changes in time from time travel, as it came to the conclusion that any time paradoxes will lead to calamity and that Calamity is bad. So stop any and all.

    We'll likely see Alexander come the 13th calamity.
    Which I'm petty sure should be a temporal calamity.

    He teleported away to safety.

    It's not Odin

    It's the WoL/D with "Midealyn" in arm on a Grani {the collectors bonus mount}

    I Guess that point is the real rentch in any time travel if everything is the same time, how do you travel to the right point if its all that point.

    They aren't swirling.
    If you not up to it. I'm sure someone else can confirm it for you.

    If we can change things, consequence is meaningless.
    If we can't change things, we've jumped ship of five years of building up WoL as the absolute unknown variable that makes any outcome possible.
    If we can't change things up to this point but can make things the "same" to set something up down the road, that's just a convoluted and contrived way of reaching the same conclusions you would have had without time travel... so why have time travel?
    Indeed.

    Alexander has the monopoly on actual time travel.
    So the moment we see that black clock work coeurl again we'll know have time travel appearing in story.

    till then TIME TRAVEL
