The crystals of time - one of the greatest discoveries of Imperial magical science and one of the most incomprehensible mysteries of modern times. Nowadays, few people remember how it all began and how the very first temporal rift appeared. Was it a consequence or the root cause of these crystals? An eternal enigma that still puzzles the greatest minds of the Empire. The first of countless conundrums that multiplied continued to multiply over the years, tangling ever new hypotheses and theories. It would seem that each one of them should have inched closer to the long-awaited solution, but for some reason, they just diverged further and further away from it. As if time itself was resisting this. Or perhaps his perception was based on fundamentally flawed judgments. These thoughts haunted the court magician for the entirety of the festivities. He hardly left his laboratory, completely immersed in preparing the opening of a new portal of time. And when another of his gargoyles finally rushed into the distance, carrying away the last of the enchanted essence gems, Abu-Bakir’s gaze fell on the newly animated obsidian sculpture sitting before him. A message scroll sealed with a magic seal suddenly appeared in the sorcerer’s hand. Perhaps a fresh look from the side will be able to catch what his own, limited by the already established perception over the years, misses time and time again…
Lords and Ladies, the portal of time is once again open and the secrets of the mysterious past await the inquisitive and brave who are ready to accept their challenge. Anyone from the 5th combat level can join the scientific expedition to the past to ensure its protection. The main thing is to remember that traveling to the past can have irreparable consequences in the future, try not to make mistakes!
Features of the Portal of Time:
1) Lords and Ladies of combat level 5 or above are allowed to participate. Only shop artifacts are allowed. Enchantments have no effect. Battles against weak opponents are available with any equipment, however, enchantments have no effect either.
2) Character talents, faction skills and unique racial abilities have no effect, and neither can you take your army into the battle nor cast learnt spells.
3) You can only recruit creatures into battle that have been found at the Empire’s facilities, and their improvements. Crystals of time are required for recruitment. A minimum of 250 crystals is required for access to the portal and will be issued to everyone wishing to attend.
4) Creatures in your army can be combined in any way you wish, and they can belong to one or more factions.
5) When recruiting creatures of different factions, morale is decreased. However, building the "Hall of Unity" prevents this penalty.

Searching for magical essence gems:
1) Magical essence gems can be found in the vicinity of all the Empire’s facilities. Their locations for Lords and Ladies of different combat levels are unique.
2) At midnight each day, the magic gems locations will change.
3) The search is available at the map facilities, and takes a certain amount of time, after which it will be possible to attack the guards guarding them.
4) With each new search, the search time will increase. The search time will be reset upon a victory against any of the guardians of essence gems. Overall search time has been reduced significantly.

If necessary, and if there is any remaining opportunity, it will be possible to return and improve the result at any individual stage. Nonetheless such battles will be subject to a limit on the number of crystals corresponding to the selected stage.
7) Important! After 12 defeats at any battle stage, battles against normal and difficult opponents will become unavailable, and it will only be possible to fight against an easy enemy, receiving the minimum number of event points of 1 as a reward.
