maybe I'm being dense, but I'm not sure I follow.
Time at the stone town is in a magical time. I think The Cumaean mentions that all times become one in the trance state she brings about.
and the Stone Town seems to be one of those Resonant sorts of places that has managed to stay at the surface.  It would also seem that it has not been built over, that its' mostly rocky wasteland in that territory.

But how does time pass differently at Casdoe's and Saltus?
Do you mean the cliff and the mine?
