Chronos - The Time Distortion Realm
A world where time flows differently in every region, creating temporal paradox civilizations
World Overview
Environment: Temporal anomaly zones with different time flow rates
Core Theme: Time is currency, memory is power, causality is optional
Time Mechanics: Past, present, and future exist simultaneously in different regions
Reality: Cause and effect operate on temporal politics rather than linear logic
The Fundamental Reality: On Chronos, yesterday's enemies might be tomorrow's children, and planning for the future requires knowing the past that hasn't happened yet. Time isn't linear - it's political.
