The universe is a fragile place, kept in balance by two of the most powerful entities ever known to have existed. Space is non-sentient and easy to control. Time is sentient, but it doesn’t understand control. If left to its own will, Time would break down and destroy known Space.
At the dawn of Time came The Keeper, a linear mortal entity whose only function was to keep Time under control. Such control requires enormous effort and each Keeper must choose their successor within five centuries, before they die.
Many non-Linear entities fail to understand the reason for such control and they crave that power to escape their inherent bonds of restriction.
Now is the time for the current Keeper to die, but he broke the rules and lost his successor. Time is in flux and the non-Linear entities are ready to exploit this time of change.
