Gap Theory is an advanced abstraction of time by mortal perception from worldly events wherein occurrences are never definitively consecutive with no time or happening between events. This theory states that, for example, there is or was a time of opportunity between the birth of the world and the Descension of Iblees because there is a fluttering delay on the concrete timeline of the universe; thousands of years may be perceived between great events that may be experienced as lesser or shorter time by those separated greatly by distance. This studied phenomenon is highly misunderstood and grasped by nigh no living mortal and is rather a facet of the world that goes unnoticed. Due to the time abnormalities and inconsistencies experienced throughout the mortal and immortal planes it is possible for huge swells of years to pass from one area to the next, causing kingdoms to rise and fall in a matter of decades from the eyes of the outside world and centuries from those within to leave stone ruins about a land, occurring whilst larger and greater events occurred nearby such as the establishment of the Bohra and the rise and fall of multiple factions within the southern regions of Anthos.


Gap Theory is the leading proponent of reasoning behind the plethora of overgrown ruins, rich histories, and convoluted pasts of numerous lands by citing the gaps in time; all that is certain is that, truly, as described in the words of Rasmot the Mad engraved over the throne of Rivel in Dwarvish runes, “Time is dubious at best.”
