Lore

The wristband of time was created by a gnome inventor named Tink. Tink was fascinated by the mysteries of time and wanted to explore its secrets. He spent years studying ancient texts, arcane formulas, and clockwork mechanisms. He also experimented with various temporal spells and devices, often with unpredictable results.
One day, he managed to create a prototype of the wristband of time, a device that could alter the flow of time for himself or others. He was overjoyed by his discovery and decided to test it out. He put on the wristband and activated it, hoping to speed up his work or slow down his enemies.
However, he soon realized that the wristband was not as stable as he thought. It malfunctioned and created a temporal loop around him, trapping him in the same moment for what seemed like an eternity. He was unable to escape or communicate with anyone.
He tried to fix the wristband, but it was too complicated and damaged. He had to use his ingenuity and resources to improvise a solution. He managed to create a small device that could send a signal to the wristband and break the loop. However, he had to wait for the right moment to activate it, when the loop aligned with his original timeline.
He waited for years, reliving the same moment over and over again, until he finally saw his chance. He activated the device and broke the loop, returning to his normal time. He was relieved and grateful, but also aged and weary.
He decided to retire from his temporal research and focus on other projects. He also decided to sell the wristband of time, hoping that someone else could use it better than he did. He made sure to fix it and make it stable enough to use on a regular basis. He also added some new features and improvements, based on his experience.
He sold the wristband to a reputable dealer, who in turn sold it to a collector, who in turn sold it to an adventurer, and so on.
