Celestial Gemsong

Manifestation

The rare natural phenomenon that most people eagerly await in the Pirma Mountains is known as the "Gemsong." This extraordinary event occurs when the Translucent Peaks, each representing a celestial body, release the radiant light they have absorbed throughout the year back into the night sky. The reason for their magical radiance lies in their unique composition, as these peaks are actually made up of the very gems and metals of the celestial bodies they represent.
Long ago, when the world of Stendaaris was still young, the Translucent Peaks were formed from the remnants of the celestial bodies that once graced the heavens. The gems and metals of these celestial bodies, fused with powerful magic, shaped the majestic peaks into conduits of extraordinary luminance. Their ethereal glow is a testament to their magical connection to each other and the celestial bodies they once embraced.
However, a sorrowful event in history left its mark on the Gemsong phenomenon. When the third moon, Zephyr'lyra, was tragically destroyed during a cataclysmic event, one of the Translucent Peaks was also lost forever. The shattered remnants of the peak scattered across the region, leaving behind a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the celestial bodies and the Translucent Peaks.
As the years pass, the remaining peaks continue to absorb radiant light from their familiar celestial body. When the annual cycle is complete, a magnificent release of luminous energy occurs during the Gemsong. The peaks reverberate with celestial colors, casting a magical glow across the Pirma Mountains. This radiant display is their way of staying connected to the celestial bodies they once were a part of, preserving the eternal bond between the land and the heavens.
