# Chrono-Shard
A Chrono-Shard Fragment is a small, crystalline shard of solidified temporal energy. Unlike raw power sources, these fragments retain localized temporal signatures of specific historical moments or events.
These fragments are rare and highly sought after by powerful groups such as the Chronos Guard for their potential power and control. Conversely, they are also highly desirable for sustenance by entities like the Corrupted Echoes. Handling a single, well-preserved fragment can briefly stabilize a localized area of the Chronal Seam, though doing so carries the risk of temporal feedback poisoning.
