DOOR DETAILS: The Clock's door is simple, wooden, with a golden handle. It tends to appear standing alone rather than inset to the wall.
LOCATION TYPE: Shrine.
LOCATION DETAILS: When the door opens, it reveals a small space before a vast monolith.

The space is floorboarded, with the area closest to the base of the clock a raised platform. There are small incense pots that replenish themselves, filling the air with a muggy, dizzying smoke. There are tatami mats on the platform for kneeling, and at the side of the small, empty space, there is a Tanabata tree, and a table with quill, ink, and slips of paper on which to write your wishes.

While the room is small in breadth and width, barely standing room for two dozen, the clock is of a height that stretches up into the darkness. The front of it is the clearest crystal, super-dense and difficult to chip at, and behind it the inner workings of the gears shift slowly as the great clock winds onwards. Within the Clock are embedded hundreds of smaller clocks of all shapes and sizes, their gears all intertwined and their times all different. The room is filled with the noise of ticking. While characters may recognize the face and design of clocks from home, or from their explorations within this nexus, the lowest, largest, and easiest to read face is clearly a replica of the Prague Astronomical Clock.
FURTHER NOTES: The Clock will revert any changes (such as vandalism) when the room is empty.
