Tales From the Shadows Updated (SPOILERS ABOUND)

[Anonymoose]

That was a lovely story; a heart-felt glimpse and a drop of closure for something we were never meant to touch.

At the same time I think the main reason I'm able to say that is because, lore-wise, it confirms that we're not even trying to make the time shenanigans sound consistent or realistic anymore. I can set that whole mangled thing aside and never think about it again, lol. I think we're at straight-up, faerie-tale, "don't even think about how this works" wibbly wobbly timey wimey whatever, now, right? As long as there' a vague superficial pseudo-logic to it, Keep Calm and Blame The Rift?

Maybe one day... lol

"Blame the Interdimensional Rift" sounds about right, yes.

Having Alexanders time shenanigans interact with the The Rift always struck me as the sort of thing that could cause things to Get Weird and give the laws of reality a bit of a wedgie.

The involvement of a different shard, essentially a copy of the world existing on a different quantum frequency/whatever you call it that also moves through time at a different speed from the world it was split off from might also have had something to do with it.

Funnily enough, it's perfectly consistent with how I've been trying to explain it all along. A simple Y-shaped timeline where G'raha can take one path first then come back and force the creation of the second.
