We had stayed up all night last night to get away from the keep, so we are exhausted. We have 2 more days until the stagecoach comes to pick us up.

Celestiah has the key to the observatory. Felric says that he can’t leave a mystery alone, and that we should all check it out together. After a while we head up to the second story and she opens it.

Felric finds in a small, hidden cabinet a set of 5 clay tablets created by the Singhara — the lion people — called the Stalking of the Star Paths. He knows very little about what they are describing, but it’s a long lost magical tradition about how they do Celestial Hunting Magic. These likely haven’t been seen in millenia.

Using the Arcane Lexicon Lens, Felric reads them and he sees they are called Stellar Hunting. There are 4 main mechanics: Track Star Shadow, Pounce Across the Void, the Unmaking Gaze, and Mantle of the Night Sky.

The Ushuri-Nga believed that the stars themselves were the scattered remains of a celestial being, She Who Fled Across the Sky.

At the end, scratched in — do not gaze too long at the Heart Star. We have closed our third eye forever.

• Track the Star-Shadow — Augment + Divination: Find any creature whose name or essence you know, no matter the distance. The target feels a faint sensation of being watched.
• Pounce Across the Void — Teleport: Step through starlight from one shadowed place to another. Only works at night or in darkness.
• The Unmaking Gaze — Curse + Attack: A dangerous, forbidden attack — you channel a sliver of the same void that consumed Asharan-Ma. High-risk (adds automatic Despair on certain results), but devastating.
• Mantle of the Night Sky — Augment: Cloak yourself in starlight, becoming nearly invisible in darkness and resistant to divination magic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Gordon Gemhammer finds the maker’s mark of a forge with 3 stars above it, which references an ancient blacksmith named Brandon Three Stars.
