Time Periods

• Ancient History (3000 BC to AD 476: Bronze/Iron Ages): The time of Ur could be that of Ancient Egypt or the Americas, though it is never stated.
• Circa AD 1960 to 1969: presumed time period in the United States

Time Travel Methods

• Timeslips: Shita-Ur-Gash’s ability might be innate or merely magic, but in either case, it feels like a time slip. “Now,” I said to her. “Hold my hand as we walk into the future.”
