Doomsday Chronometer

The Doomsday Chronometer is a grotesque and nightmarish artifact that defies the very concept of time. It appears as a colossal, sinister clock with shifting, rusted gears, a face covered in intricate, writhing patterns, and hands that move in seemingly impossible directions. Its chimes are an agonized, discordant cacophony.
The Doomsday Chronometer possesses the power to manipulate the flow of time itself. When activated, it distorts reality, accelerating the decay of all living things in its vicinity. The very essence of those caught within its influence withers, aging them at an alarming rate, causing their bodies to twist and decay.
Those who succumb to the powers of the Doomsday Chronometer may become Chrono-Liches, undead beings whose existence is bound to the horrors of accelerated time. They seek to spread the clock's malevolence, bringing an age of agony and decay to the world.
