Temporal Drift is the technical name for the time differential between Earth and Altierra. There are few data points but enough to show that the differential is variable, both in a single portal and between the two.

The original portal between Patagonia and Alta had only one temporal data point. When the Spanish settlers passed through the portal, it was in 1585 Earth-reckoning, six years after the English had entered in 1579. The time difference in Altierra was 177 years however.

Because there is only one data point, it is impossible to see how time passes between the two worlds, whether it is logarithmic as in the Mundumbra, or a simple line.

There are a few more data points with the Mundumbra between Dartmoor and Isla Arbojan which shows that the time differential varies over time, In the short time, Altierran time is longer than Earth time, but this reverses about 3 years (where the time is the same with both).
