Celestial Convergence

History

The Celestial Convergence occurs once every 1,000 years, its cycles meticulously recorded by the scholars of the observatory. Ancient texts suggest that it has always heralded significant changes in the world—empires rising and falling, great heroes emerging, and the balance of power shifting.

Josiah Ward was born on the night of the last Convergence, making him one of the few individuals in history believed to be directly influenced by its power. Some view his birth as an omen of hope, while others fear it signals an age of upheaval. Whatever the case, history has shown that no one touched by the Celestial Convergence remains insignificant.

Manifestation

The Celestial Convergence is a rare astronomical event in which the three brightest celestial bodies—Solara, the Guiding Star; Luminis, the Moon of Grace; and the Wandering Eye—align perfectly in the night sky, forming a luminous path across the heavens. This alignment lasts for only a single night, casting a radiant glow that turns the darkness into a twilight-like state.

During this event, those attuned to the arcane or divine often experience heightened awareness, prophetic visions, or a deepened connection to the unseen forces of the universe. Some claim to hear whispers carried by the celestial winds, while others report inexplicable surges of energy coursing through their bodies. It is believed that those born during the Convergence are touched by fate, destined for greatness, or burdened with a cosmic purpose.

Localization

The Celestial Convergence is visible across all of Edria, but its effects are most profound at the Celestial Observatory, where scholars and mystics have studied its cycles for centuries. The region surrounding the observatory experiences strange phenomena, such as sudden bursts of starlight, shifting gravitational fields, and a thinning of the veil between the physical and spiritual realms. Some claim that Guardian Solace, though far from the observatory, is also influenced by this celestial event, marking it as a place of great importance.

Born under it means I didn't get to see it and I most likely never will. I don't know if there's much history I could learn from a celestial event. It would still be interesting to see it in person.
