The story of the fall of the Sovereignty of Helicon-Helix is a sad one - and there is no silver lining.
The chain of catastrophic civil wars that fractured the Empire left it’s former domains in a state of complete, melancholic chaos.
What little civilization survived the onslaught was clustered around the emerging Elaeinid Culture, which managed not only to preserve, but to nurture and advance the precious, arcane knowledge.
A terrifying weapon of war, the first Timeripper was constructed by an Elaeinid forgemaster, with a noble goal in mind: to turn back the tides of time and save the once glorious Sovereignty.
The design proved to be flawed - the Timeripper would not allow for traveling back to the time before it was activated.
All it could do is to create an hour-long time loop - an endless series where the wielder could die countless times, only to be resurrected by the sword each and every time. The sequence would only end once the wielder pressed the trigger once again.
The new electro-magical blade design failed to resurrect the old Empire - but it brought a new one to life. Being able to go through potentially countless iterations of the same fight turned even the most unskilled soldier into an elite, undefeatable warrior - meaning that even a single sword could turn the tide of an entire battle.
