The Stolen Stream Universe Guide
The Stolen Stream Lore Bible: Complete Canon
The Stolen Stream universe has a consistent, verifiable canon. Here's the complete lore reference guide.
The Frozen Light Singularity
**Type:** Temporal energy capture and redirection device
**Creator:** Luca Eschendorf (1588, Venice)
**Mechanism:** Siphons temporal energy from the flow of time and stores it in a crystalline matrix
**Limitations:** Cannot create time — only redirect. Cannot access pre-1588. Biological toll is absolute.
The 10:1 Temporal Toll
**Rule:** Every 10 temporal years consumed costs 1 biological year
**Discovery:** First recorded fatality — unknown 17th century user, aged 40 years in a single jump
**Enforcement:** Universal — no known way to bypass or reduce the toll
**Evidence:** Kai Eschendorf — 115 calendar years lived, 28 apparent age. 87 years of biological debt.
