Stirrings in the Night Sky...

*Kyle keeps staring up at Ilsare's Heart wondering if she will join the circle. Seeing Aerdin in the center gives him an idea. He heads towards the Deliar temple in the market building. He turns to Ferrit (if she has found him by now).*"There has got to be a reason why Aerdin...blast him...is in the middle. Maybe the clerics of Deliar can tell us. Deliar is one of the six and an ally of the Heartsong."//PM comingEdit: Re-write of the original post

Some days after Daniel rides out of Mariners Hold for Bydell Castle and the Aragenite library it holds. Upon arrival he makes it known he wishes to speak to a librarian about the happenings in the night sky and also if the Aragenites can tell him of any special dates that may be coming up in their vocational calenders. (Holy days for Aragen, or special rememberances, etc). He willing to hear even conjecture from an Aragenite on the matter as the previous discussions he heard around the fire ranged from the Gods making something, to mass weddings, to even blaming Aragen for some misdeed. Some months later a letter arrives at the Angels Guild Hall in Hempstead addressed to Kyle and FerritAngels,I have been at Bydell Castle for over a week and I have little to report other than a new zeal on the part of the scholars here in studying this matter. I will be staying another month at least and report back again.Yours in the Dragon,Daniel.

He sees his son. Finally. And Ty is looking for him - a number of people are converging on Stormcrest, his son says, and he's expected. Well, he didn't cramp his hands for nothing after all. Indulging in loving parental interrogation of his offspring and a hug that makes him as happy as he's been in years, he is on his way to the Crossroads.They are there - the bard's heart leaps to see his old friend Daniel, and the embrace he recieves nearly crushes his ribs. More joy. Rose appears in good health, if distant. The glow of her skin and the clearness of her eyes is a relief. Kat is there, and Tori - his new head of security - and Iri, Quenton, Rodlin, the elf Glitch. And, most importantly, his Minu. Just sitting with her brings him peace.The stars are discussed. They run through ideas from probable to outright nuts. He wonders if there are any events that mark this time, either predictions from the past or anniversaries of events. Daniel, willing to enter Bydell's library which is Aragen's stronghold, heads off to investigate. The idea that there might have been something in that spot in the sky previously is also raised, and Kat agrees to check into that as much as she can.It strikes him that the stars don't move - which means they must be moving with that location, to stay stationary there all night and presumably all day. It also means that they may be no longer visible to parts of the world. Iri points out that they might be visible when it's night on the other side. Are they? Tori and Iri will check - he'll know soon enough if the constellations move to the other side of the world and what locations close to portals can see them. With that information, they may be able to triangulate the location the spot hovers over, if the constellations are indeed fixed.After war and famine and Freedom and moths, he feels a shiver of excitement. Either he's insane, or he's actually having fun. Best not to ask the wife which it is. He's pretty sure he knows the answer already.

"If you need help, let me know," Rodlin had said. "He thinks I can't cover it!" scoffed Iri. Tori looked down and realized the halfling had appeared beside her while she was putting the map away. She raised her eyebrows. "You invited? Pfft.""Yes!" exclaimed the noisemaker. "You might need a reader!" Tori opened her mouth, then closed it, grunting in response. "Heh. Yea. A'right." "Or an axe!"Once she'd packed the maps and divided the traveling/bribe money between them and different purses, they took the easiest route first. Dalanthar, from the Shack, was mere steps away, and they arrived with some time to scout out a good location to observe the skies from and mark the maps. If the constellations are now fixed, where are they when seen from Dregar? The differences are recorded against the rough 'gazer maps from Alindor and Mistone, and their own memories. Another few steps away, back to the Shack. This was the hard part, if time was a factor. Belinara could be reached in a short time, but it could be dangerous and longer to return once there. They'd marked two way portals on the maps, but each had more travel time. They marked the lines on the map and looked at each other. Technically, the islands were roughly in line from Dregar. Though it had a two-way portal, it would be better to grab another area... they marked another portal and started the journey to Blackford, banking on the idea that if one could see Voltrex's stars from the large area granted the Great Library, they'd cover another angle altogether... and if not, could ask, as well as check Andrew's library requests at the same time. Prophecies? Previous star movements? Great Library. "Best employees ever!" "Eh." If time remained after the journey to Blackford, they could always try for another - but best to get the vastly different areas of the map covered, first.

Foresta travels south from Center in various flying forms always seeking news from other flyers that might be relevant. Such an encounter led her to follow two would be adventuring types to a wizards tower by the Thorn River. (Grogmegor and Sahala) She took an appropriate form of Dark Elf and joined the exploration. This may turn out to be the first real clue she has since concluded. Their journey into a Library there, almost as vast as the famous Great library, was avidly defended by all manner of traps and animated books. learning anything was made most difficult and it was undoubtedly designed to prevent those seeking knowledge and enlightenment. Eventually they found a Druid like staff which Grogmegor (or mes' as he liked to be called !) retained. Foresta was hardly surprised that all this attention by the stars of Dieties should revolve around something Druidic and assumes they have found a serious clue. maybe the only one so far. She apologieses for not making the meeting set by the bard but as you can see now she has a good excuse and hopes that the bard will report on that meeting later. (time for these are way too late for me I'm afraid)
