Hidden behind the brass-paneled walls of an eccentric inventor’s tower, the Tempus Glider waits—half machine, half masterpiece. A steampunk time-travel vessel bursting with color and life, its outer shell gleams with polished bronze and chrome, etched with swirling filigree and inlaid with jewel-toned enamel. Gears spin in exposed chambers, each tick echoing like a heartbeat through the air. Clocks adorn the cabin: pocket watches, grandfather faces, sundials suspended in glass. All spin with chaotic harmony, powered by a radiant core that pulses with temporal light. Vibrant steam vents hiss and glow with iridescent mist, while copper pipes twist like vines across the deck. The pilot’s seat, framed in velvet and riveted steel, overlooks a control panel of levers, keys, and a timewheel glowing with shifting constellations. To step aboard is to surrender to wonder. The Tempus Glider doesn’t simply move through time—it paints across it, leaving trails of light and steam in centuries long past and yet to come.
