The long history of the Locus is as deep and mutable as the plane itself, suffice to say that at some point, several realities converged, are converging, and the rules were broken and the possibilities made endless. Some say magic, others say maths. Whatever the case, the Locus is a highly profitable place for people who know how to solve the myriad problems such a chaotic reality creates. People like you, Stoker, who coax latent possibilities into the prime timeline. Not a popular profession, given the danger, but a coveted one. Just try not to pull a strand of time into existence that entails your ugly and excruciating destruction. Good luck.
