In the Starfall Galaxy, “Seek the Time” is the Navigator’s compass and the Chronologist’s lifeline. Starfall’s casters attune to the Metronome network, the colossal temporal engines that anchor the galaxy’s Standard Cycle.
When you cast this cantrip, you feel the nearest Metronome’s pulse in your bones, a rhythmic thrum cutting through Rift-space’s chaos. The direction is vague but insistent, like a heartbeat you can’t ignore, guiding you toward the nearest anchor of stable time.
Seek The Time Cantrip 1
[two-actions]
Traditions Arcane Divine, Occult,
Access Chronologists Guild
Duration 16.6 Minutes
You immediately know the direction to the nearest Metronome, whose location is known to the Chronologists Guild, relative to your current position. The direction is imprecise—it points you along the shortest path but doesn’t reveal distance, obstacles, or whether the Metronome is intact, corrupted, or guarded.
Heightened (7th) You can instead know the direction to a familiar Metronome one you have personally visited or whose coordinates you have studied. This allows you to navigate back to a specific temporal anchor rather than the nearest one.

Seek the Time is essential for parties stranded in the Frontier, where Metronomes are sparse and Rift‑storms can knock navigation systems offline. It’s the spell that turns a desperate drift into a calculated trek toward safety, commerce, or conspiracy—depending on what you find when you reach the beat.
