Keepers of the Hour

Spirals and loops drawn a set number of times, mirrored. Proposed colour: dusk rose #FF8FA3. Seat: the Hour Stair.

Recall (recall)

• Faction, colour: Keepers of the Hour, #FF8FA3
• Tier: mirrored
• Right thumb: a spiral inward: start at the bottom of the outer ring and go counter-clockwise (up the outer side first), one and a half turns, finishing at the centre.
• Left thumb: the mirror image: clockwise, up its outer side first.
• Size, breath, corners: 28 mm, 800 ms, none
• Battle: gives back the HP you lost in the last 4 s (at least 6).
• Field: shows the last moments held in still water or glass as a short replay. At Corran it shows Aske's part in the stilling. Side quests use it for mysteries.
• Glyph kind: reflected
• Learned: Corran, a reflected glyph that shows in the clear glass of the stilled town only at dawn. (Idea) The Keepers who stood in the five-person seal left it there. The Story Bible doesn't say who stood in the seal.
• Act: Act 3 (optional)
• Role: healing

Toll (toll)

• Faction, colour: Keepers of the Hour, #FF8FA3
• Tier: mirrored
• Right thumb: a bell on its rope, loop first: start at the bottom of a small circle, go clockwise (up the inner side, over the top, down the outer side) back to the start, then straight down for a tail two-thirds as long as the loop is tall.
• Left thumb: the mirror image.
• Size, breath, corners: 28 mm, 750 ms, none
• Battle: 35 damage, landing 3 s after the cast.
• Field: rings an hour. It opens the Hour Stair's hour-doors, and it pulls every glint within earshot to you, which starts a fight on your terms.
• Glyph kind: taught
• Learned: the Hour Stair, taught by Old Pim at the third bell, after the bell-ringing errand.
• Act: Act 3 (optional)
• Role: damage

Linger (linger)

• Faction, colour: Keepers of the Hour, #FF8FA3
• Tier: mirrored
• Right thumb: two loops, one below the other, like a coiled cord drawn downward: start at the top, move outward and round clockwise into the first loop, carry on down into the second, and end at the bottom. About a third as wide as it is tall.
• Left thumb: the mirror image.
• Size, breath, corners: 30 mm, 800 ms, none
• Battle: the enemy's attacks come 50% slower for 12 s.
• Field: slows a moving hazard (a mill wheel, a swinging shard, a closing gate) for 12 s.
• Glyph kind: whole
• Learned: the Hour Stair, a whole glyph cut into the seventh bell's frame. It is on the way up, and the hour trial is built around it.
• Act: Act 3
• Role: control

Hasten (hasten)

• Faction, colour: Keepers of the Hour, #FF8FA3
• Tier: mirrored
• Right thumb: a spiral outward: start at the centre, go up, then counter-clockwise (curling toward the inner side) for one and a half turns, ending at the bottom of the outer ring.
• Left thumb: the mirror image: clockwise, curling toward its inner side.
• Size, breath, corners: 28 mm, 750 ms, none
• Battle: the breath window is 40% longer for 12 s.
• Field: you walk and run 50% faster for 30 s.
• Glyph kind: taught
• Learned: the Hour Stair, taught by Keeper Hale hand over hand before the hour trial, so the player has the breath for the long threads. On the fallen road it is a stolen fragment bought from the Undermere fence instead.
• Act: Act 3 (main path)
• Role: utility
