The Planar Observatory
Dimensions:
Width: Approximately 40 feet (12 meters)
Length: Approximately 50 feet (15 meters)
Height: Dome-shaped, with a central apex reaching up to 30 feet (9 meters)
Key Features:
Celestial Dome: The observatory is crowned by a celestial dome that serves as the primary viewing area. The dome is made of a translucent material that allows the soft glow of distant planes, stars, and other cosmic phenomena to filter through.
Astral Telescopes: Enormous telescopes, each enchanted with planar lenses, are positioned around the observatory. Scholars use these telescopes to focus on specific planes, distant realms, and celestial bodies.
Orbiting Celestial Charts: Magical charts and holographic representations of various planes orbit in mid-air within the observatory. These charts can be manipulated to display specific planes or to track celestial events in real-time.
Stellar Platforms: Elevated platforms around the edge of the observatory provide additional vantage points for scholars. These platforms are equipped with magical barriers to protect observers from the ambient energies.
Ethereal Map of the Multiverse: A grand, three-dimensional map suspended in the center of the observatory displays the interconnectedness of the multiverse. Scholars can study the relationships between planes and the ebb and flow of planar energies.
Astromancy Runes: The floor of the observatory is inscribed with intricate astromancy runes that enhance the precision of observations and experiments conducted within the chamber.
Planar Storms: Occasionally, controlled planar storms may be conjured within the observatory for study. These storms mimic the natural energies found in certain planes, allowing scholars to observe and analyze their effects.
Ephemeral Observing Balconies: Semi-transparent balconies float in the air at various heights, allowing scholars to observe the cosmic panorama from different perspectives. These balconies are accessible through ethereal walkways.
