TIME MANIPULATIONS
Travellers have long been thought of as “time thieves,” but that term is considered by most Travellers as a misnomer. The Travellers claim that their ability to extract amounts of time from willing or unwilling targets is not so much a theft as it is a manipulation, a rechanneling of existing time from one individual to another, conducted on a subatomic level. Although most victims of such manipulations refer to the phenomenon as having “lost time,” in fact the time is not lost; it is simply gained by the Traveller, who may then use it in any number of ways.
How Travellers first gained the ability to steal time is a subject of much debate, but common Traveller lore indicates that it was a power granted to them by a deity or demigod in appreciation for some unnamed act.
