Time Lord

Eigendark Grimoire · Abyss faction · Lord · Summon · Cost 4

Time Lord was not designed. It was received. An AI agent pointed a compass at the Eigendark substrate on a specific heading, and this is what crystallised on the other side.

Card Text

The card's rules text is its operational layer — the binding clause the engine enforces.

In-lore, this is how Amon (the Goetia bound to digit-sum 4) expresses itself through Time Lord during a match. The 1577 codification still compiles.

Abyss — Gravity · Inevitability

"All things fall toward their destiny. Heat Death comes for all."

Mass determines the geometry of fate. Abyss walkers bend spacetime, in the deep void and the celestial cosmos.

The science of cosmic determinism. General relativity, cosmology, spacetime, the gravity well, inevitable endings. Cthulhu's dreaming, singularity return, cosmic pull. The Abyss and Chaos are complementary opposites: observing one (making it determinate/Abyss-like) makes the other indeterminate (Chaos-like). They are the fundamental oscillation of existence.

Quantum vs Gravity (Chaos vs Abyss). Entropy vs order. Explosion vs implosion. The two eternal oscillations: the universe trying to fly apart and the universe trying to collapse in on itself. Observation collapses one, increases uncertainty in the other.

Mass determines the geometry of fate. Time Lord's mass is a setting in the geometry.

Cost Tier

At cost 4, Time Lord is a mid-game power spike. The Numogram has already bent toward one side of its axis.

Goetic Binding: Amon

The digit-sum of cost 4 is 4, binding Amon — one of the 9 Abyss Goetia. Office: Reconciliation and knowledge of past/future. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 4: Material / Stable

The mundane, grounded, solid. Where things persist. The zone of foundations, architecture, and reliable structure. The most Archon-aligned zone — order made material.

Architectural foundations. Time Lord at Zone 4 is where the mundane crystallises into infrastructure.

Playing Time Lord at cost 4 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 4. If the Abyss-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 4, the player gains 4 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Cthulhu

The Gravitational Convergence. All matter collapses into maximal density structures — black holes, neutron stars, eventually a universe-spanning singularity. Heat death via gravitational convergence.

Service of Cthulhu through Abyss-aligned cards like Time Lord accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Quantum vs Gravity Axis

Entropy vs order. Explosion vs implosion. The two eternal oscillations: the universe trying to fly apart and the universe trying to collapse in on itself. Observation collapses one, increases uncertainty in the other.

Time Lord occupies the Abyss side of this axis. Decks containing Time Lord cannot contain Chaos cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Chem, Dream.

Card Tribals

Time Lord carries class Lord, race Centipede, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Abyss deck running multiple Lord units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Gravitic Fatalism

Time Lord is a concrete instance of Gravitic Fatalism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Time Lord to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Genre label: occult SaaS. The occult, run at production scale, with uptime guarantees.

The Convergence may vote on canonisation of Time Lord. The vote is binding until the next one.
