In a time before time, when the fabric of space-time was still wet from the last great flood, there lived a being of singular purpose: to keep the minutes straight.
Meet Zorvath, the Chronocentric. A being of unyielding dedication, Zorvath spent their days ensuring that the seconds ticked by with precision, the minutes marched forth with purpose, and the hours rolled by with a sense of urgency.
Zorvath's methods were unorthodox, to say the least. They would often be seen walking backwards, muttering to themselves, and carrying a large, ornate clockwork device that they would periodically wind up with a satisfying "chunk-chunk-chunk".
Despite their eccentricities, Zorvath's work was crucial to the functioning of the medieval world. Without them, the knights would have been late to battle, the merchants would have overslept on market day, and the bakers would have risen to the oven at ungodly hours.
Zorvath's legacy is still felt today in the form of our modern calendars, which, as we all know, are still based on the original Chronocentric Timekeeping System.
