OBSERVATIONS & EXCERPTS from the JOURNAL of SECOND ASSISTANT ARCHIVIST ORIANNA ÈIRIGH of ASHKHA
Today, my heart gifted me a most precious thing.
In a lacquered cherry wood box, with a note — gently folded and written with his flourished hand, the silver ink catching the sun rose bringing a new day—
It was more than just the note, of course. Gerhard does not do things at half speed. This box was more than just a box. It was a map full of stars.
I asked Calla, Raine, Frigus and Waffles to accompany me, as Gerhard’s note has suggested I do. It guided us to the Witching Court — the first place where we went on an adventure, the first place we met. Through our skills combined we deciphered the map and found my heart, a great picnic under the stars and moon of the Fae Court shining overhead.
But the gift — oh how to describe it! It is so beautiful, and it resonates with notes of the spheres. There are three tones: One, for the plane of our home; Two, for the plane of our first adventure; Three, to the heavens where Stellarum was standing in front of a massive dragon statue, eyes staring up at the stars…
Her name was Luna Tenebris and she was Stellarum’s daughter.
She was beautiful, shone like the full moon on a cloudless night inspiring radiance and awe and she was everything to Stellarum. Luna became very close friends with the goddess Selûne, becoming her emissary, the one to carry the light, protection, and solace to those who cried out to the moon goddess. Luna was magnificent in her charge and acquitted herself so magnificently.
However, not all who beheld her saw her beauty and loved her.
Shar grew jealous of Luna’s light, much like how she was envious of her sister’s. It was from her jealousy that Shar sought to rid the Realms of Luna. By the time Stellarum knew what had happened it was too late. The Singer of Eternal Night had slain the Wyrm Queen’s daughter.
Stellarum had pleaded with Selûne to bring Luna back. The goddess could not, at least not in the way the Wyrm Queen truly wanted. Instead, a constellation of a majestic dragon lives on in the Cosmos, the culmination of what remained of Luna’s light. It would shine down on those who are lost in the dark, giving them solace, helping them find a safe place to rest.
“My Luna was always very good for helping me get onto the right path,” Stellarum said. She turns to look at Orianna. “You remind me of her.”

Bring some friends. I’ll meet you there.
