Editing Planes of Existence (section)

== Temporal Planes ==
There are two echo planes called the Temporal Planes which are normally not meant to be accessible by mortals, and even most gods. These are the planes of That Which Has Happened, or the Past, and That Which Has Not Happened Yet, or the Future. These planes were created by particular divine essences of time, effectively generating the fourth dimensional movement of time.

The two Planes of Time exist statically, meaning that you enter a specific instance and time does not exist. Both the Past and the Future can be entered up to a maximum of 10 years. The farther forward or back a creature goes, the more incomplete and unstable the structure of the multiverse.

Creatures with the ability to move through time, such as sphinxes, simply plane shift to these different instances of time.

=== That Which Has Happened (the Past) ===
The Past is a plane of archiving the things that happened in the Material Plane. This is done by the modrons, a race of clockwork beings that are created on the Outer Plane of Mechanus. The modrons break down the time for the past on the Material Plane, archiving it in Mechanus. This archiving takes an incredible amount of time, and thus traveling to the past is only possible for up to 10 or so years. However, the farther back you travel, the more “packed up” the world appears. The Past is also analyzed by the modrons to provide crucial information to the Future to set up continuing projections of events.

=== That Which Has Not Happened Yet (the Future) ===
The Future is the creation of things to come. Modrons on this plane calculate the probability of things occuring, and then position the Material Plane accordingly. This is done on a macro and micro scale; even things like raindrops and blades of grass are adjusted. If someone adjusts something in the Future, the modrons will come to return it to its “neutral” state. Travel into the Future only happens from your current moment onward; in other words, there is no true time travel into a future point in time. Rather, you will plane shift into the moment directly after the Present, as the Future is being built by the modrons.

==== Zakhren ====
Githzerai who lives in That Which Has Not Happened Yet. Is a kensei monk of the Order of the Unbroken Steel, a gith monastery in the Astral Sea. Zakhren was inadvertently transported to Avo when a rift opened up, sundering the monastery in two and sending many gith into Avo decades ago.  The rift is located near Brannenburg (formerly Desek), a human city in Anor, Valwyr. The gith opted to travel forward in time to escape persecution, as many people in Brannenburg were hostile to them. They have since scattered throughout the world. Zakhren lives in Wodesville.

=== Time Travel ===
There are beings who are capable of traveling backward and forward in time. The most notable of these are the sphinxes. How they do this is not well known, but it is believed that they utilize magic that allows them to bypass the Temporal Planes entirely.
