The residents are detached from the passage of time to an extent that to them, years pass by in an instant, living in harmony with the land while following routines over and over again. Events will be treated as fresh within the villages even decades afterwards. For other species, this timelessness gives them the sensation of rapidly aging while there, which horrfies many.
