Mini-Event: The Great North Arlorian Eclipse

[asommers]

The Great North Arlorian Eclipse



In ages past, a celestial phenomenon shrouded the skies of Northern Arlor in shadow. This occurrence, known as the 'total eclipse,' cast fear and confusion across the land. Yet, mercifully, its grip upon the world was fleeting, and as the eclipse waned, so too did the unrest that gripped the hearts of the people.

In the hallowed halls of the Temple of Scrolls, learned scholars turned their gaze heavenward, seeking answers amidst the stars. With relentless determination, they embarked upon the meticulous task of charting the celestial dance, laboring tirelessly to decipher the movements of the heavenly spheres. As their knowledge deepened and their calculations grew ever more precise, they discerned a revelation: the Great Northern Arlor Eclipse would soon return.

In a bid to quell the rising tide of fear and uncertainty, the scholars dispatched one of their brightest pupils, a novice Shardgazer named Celeste, bearing gifts of 'eclipse glasses' and banners of celebration. Armed with knowledge gleaned from the ancient tomes, Celeste endeavored to enlighten the populace, assuring them of the benign nature of the impending eclipse.

Yet, amidst the preparations for the event, the scholars harbored another motive. They charged Celeste with a task of utmost importance: to capture the elusive essence of "Darklight," a phenomenon said to manifest only within the shadowed embrace of a total eclipse. In their pursuit of understanding, the scholars sought to unravel the mysteries that shrouded the Elder Woods and to glean insight into the ominous portents of the War Foretold.
