The conspirancy by the ivory shrine was using time-travel to rewrite History from their safe continium-vault (demiplanes or pocket universes where they aren't affected by time paradoxes or alterations of the past). The mission of the time-travelers was a success, but it didn't. Here in this part of the story the toymaker-child has got a more important role. The time-travel could be sabotage thanks a special trick. The chronomancers or time-travelers didn't went to the true past but to a "decoy plane", other demiplane or pocket universe to trick time-travelers with bad intentions. This is a virtual simulation created and controlled by the Toymaker-child, who enjoys omnipotence within his creation. The lodge of the ivory shrine hasn't could notice the trick because they receive signals from the decoy timeline. But the prize of this trick is the original timeline has been saved, but not it is too isolated and it can't be found easily.Other secondary effect is the arrival of two enemy religious cults, the followers of two false prophets, Musalym Alkahab (nicknamed "the great lier by his enemies), lord of the scorpion-dragons cult and Alaswad Ansi "the veiled", lord of cobra-dragons brotherhood. A teory suggest this decoy-timeline is being used by some external power like a "cosmic wastepaper basket" to send there those to tried to use the time-travel with dark intentions.Some unproved testimonies tell the Toymarker-Child also created and controls a second virtual simulation that is closer to a simulation, with a very low crime rate, like a videogame more focused into life-sim or dating-sim. Only visitors without bad intentions are allowed to enter this demiplane. Maybe here there is the key to find the way toward the original timeline.The ivory shrine also suffers the attacks by a rival faction, the ivory crypt (what is also a cult controlled by the lord formorians, they are killing each other when both obey the same bosses).Other "unexpected guests" are the "hellbred", fiends who try to defend the goodhood and the innocents against the evil. In the past they were ordinary mortal humanoids whose lifes were radically altered by the time-travelers. These caused in one timeline they were pious souls who earned their salvation but in other they lived like true sinners earning the punishment in the other life. Their saying "infernal fire to fight infernal fire" is famous because more one is willing to use her own version of "dark arts". At least their help has saved lots of innocent lifes in monster-outbreaks.There are "secret societies" who promise the path toward a celestial plane where survivors can find a safe place, but the suspects of scam are justified.Some times there are expeditions to the cursed urban zones but there is a trick, using remote-control androids, and even like this it is not totally safe.</blockquote>
