Running Theories

 * 1) Magic is leaving Espera because the dragons are dying.
 * 2) Aetherlights stopped being reliable around the year 1250.
 * 3) Dragons are described as "the pillars of Espera" and "conduits of magic"
 * 4) Therefore, dragons are dying, and that is removing the conduits of magic from Espera.
 * 5) Speculation: The earthquake in the year 1201 released some sort of dragon-predator.
 * 6) Destiny's Children are trapped in a time loop, which can only be broken by either waking the gods, or preventing some world-ending calamity
 * 7)  Rue  will be our constant. Debunked since Kevin hasn't seen LOST.
 * 8) Alternatively, the hourglass transports them between Kazakhan Spire in year 1201 and wherever they are needed the most.
 * 9) The specters in Kazakhan Spire are in a time loop, "living" each day over and over again
