The Wishing Star

**The Wishing Star** is an ancient artifact with the power to grant its user a wish - though the consequences will be devastating. It's made up of 8 fragments that are scattered all over Alteria. This causes a race against time, as multiple parties - good and bad - want to get their hands on them. The main mission of Atlanta, Diri and Ydriss is to get to the fragments before Mirza Solandis does.

It has been revealed in *Session 33: The Sundial* that The Wishing Star was created by the Clockwork Crown Mekaul after orchestrating the death of the Ruby Dragon Gaimana, in revenge for the curse bestowed upon his daughter.

### The 8 Fragments

#### • The Fragment of Divination

*"A glistening, radiant white shard that encompasses the very element of foretelling and understanding. Simply grasping it fills you with wisdom."*

This Fragment is the first of all other Fragments, created by Mekauls personal court mage, offering up his soul and mastery in loyalty to the Clockwork Crown so that he may have the the answers of the arcane at his fingertips. Its ancestry connects to the rest of the other fragments, letting its eyes watch over them.

This Fragment allows its user to cast Sending every dawn, as well as upcast any divination spell.

#### • The Fragment of Conjurations

*"A glistening orange shard which has patterns upon it resembling storm formations and hands."*

When the storm first raged through Alteria, Kirogan people from tempest Island, scholars of storms and magic, offered themselves as bearers of sin, conjuring an ideal into physical manifestation, this fragment, composing of smaller individual pieces of each of the people. When the Sealing occured, this acceptance became fully written law.

> "As long as as a Tempest Triton lives, the Ruby Moon cannot rise, and the ceremony that was halted so long ago cannot continue."

The echoes of these long lost people sometimes coalesce into a choir of solemn singing.

This Fragment allows its user to cast Vortex Warp every dawn, as well as upcast any conjuration spell.

#### • The Fragment of Transmutation

*"A shimmering yellow shard which seems to constantly turn the air around it into a viscous, heavier water."*

When Gaimana had her blood spilled, from the spiritual sin of mankind first came the storm, manifesting out of the blood. But what of the physical essence she left in the dreaded tomb? Melora, the new goddess of Nature, saw it fit to transmute it into something beautiful. It will not be the blood of Gaimana, but the blood of this world. And the first born of this declaration, which all the Ooze descended from, was Soulot. Why Soulot was killed is still unknown, but it may be that even in its little understanding of the world, it knew the true threat to nature, and so did the threat know the bane of itself.

This Fragment allows its user to cast Dragon breath every dawn, as well as upcast any transmutation spell.

#### • The Fragment of Illusions

*"A grey shard that emanates eternal mists. Looking into the mist, you see reflections of long lost times."*

The Clockwork Capital was rumored to have a domain resting along the entire western belt of the Raikaziar continent. Their armies slaughtered the dragons of the earth , their spies sabotaged governments that represented opposition and contradictions of the values held by the Clockwork. This was said to be "order and peace" to their people. A thinly veiled lie as these people were brought into their "responsibilities". The four knights represented different aspects of this regime. The Valkyrie of the Skies was their prime commander of the army. The Fiend of the Flames was responsible for law upholding. The Commander of the Sands was responsible for national defense. And the Warrior of Ocean's Tide was responsible for the royal knights, and a further representation of the union between the Clockwork Capital and Greater Kiroga. Despite tensions between the group, they were seen as flawless monsters of war. But after the Valkyrie's execution , rumors circulated that foul play had been in effect for its arrangement. This led to the instability in the final few years of the empire.

This Fragment allows its user to cast Greater Invisibility every dawn, as well as upcast any illusion spell.
