Time does not travel in straight lines.
The past is a complex web of branching events that requires regular interventions to ensure the best future for humanity. This is the mission of the Oblivion Order; a secret organisation of individuals unhindered by the strictures of linear time, who maintain the Continuum by making discreet adjustments to the past.
The Order is comprised of specialist guilds: The Copernicans, analysts of potential futures, who are obsessed with probability; Scriptorians, librarians and archivists of lost knowledge; Antiquarians, quartermasters and curators of missing treasures, and the Draconianβs who navigate and map the lost parts of history.
By far the most eccentric of all the Order, are the Watchmen. Lone field officers who have chosen to patrol the paths of the past, using the timelines of objects to navigate their way through history. They are the agents of change, the ones responsible for applying the course corrections, and they live among us.
When Joshua Jones, 17, breaks into the house of the local eccentric, the Colonel, he finds himself drawn into the strange world of the Oblivion Order. He discovers that he too can travel through time and realises he has a chance at a better future, but to do so means changing his past and that is strictly forbidden.
From extinction curators, seers and memory vampires to chapter houses with rooms in different centuries, the Anachronist opens a door into a world not constrained by the rules of time.
