Time Shard

From Axalon RPG

Wormholes, portals, holes in time that have popped up with increasing frequency since the destruction of the Axis of Time and onset of FNOTI. Highly unstable, highly dangerous, their workings are understood by a very few.

Many laymen are aware that when matter passes through a time shard it remains tied by a sort of string to its original place and time, and when the time shard closes, those strings get yanked on, often pulling the matter back to its origin, but also having other, very unpredictable consequences. Basically, to walk through one of these things you've got to be desperate or insane.

Time shards can reach across to different universes as well as different times. They are sometimes triggered by large energy discharges near an invisible precursor anomaly. Their destinations and time of appearance and closure have a tendency to be overly convienient or ironic.
