  • Use: Manipulate the Sands of Time to choose one of two timelines.

The Sands of Time is a device that allows time manipulation, granting a variety of beneficial effects within the Deaths of Chromie scenario.

Lore[]

The sands of time are a physical material with many uses for chronomancers.[1] Nozdormu himself unleashed the sands of time as his dragon's breath,[2] and collected much of it in the Hourglass of Time, a powerful artifact with the capacity to reverse time itself.[3] Kairoz later collected a few grains of the sands from this hourglass to create the Vision of Time,[3] leaving some animated sands in Nagrand. After the dracthyr awoke in the Forbidden Reach and were forced to leave it by the Primalists, Nozdormu empowered them with Sands of Time, speeding their wings for their journeys to Durotar and Elwynn Forest.[4]

The sands of time are plentiful but precious.[5] The sands of time can agglomerate as sand elementals, particularly in areas related to the bronze dragonflight.

When an entity passes through the timeways, the sands of time can sometimes accumulate on their body. Typically, this sand dissipates in short order--but sometimes, the entropic fluctuations inherent in time travel can cause that sand to vitrify. In these cases, it becomes rather difficult to remove. Vitrified sand can be quite powerful.[6]

One of the goals of the infinite dragonflight was to scatter the sands of time to the winds.[7]
