What It Is
The Eclipse Star Chart is a working astronomical chart used by Selvara and the Eclipse Court to connect the Dawnshards, the Observatory of Ilyr, Solspire, and the approaching black-star cycle. Selvara escapes Dawnwatch with the chart during the Sun Gate crisis, making it the party’s most direct route from the failed siege into the Glass Wastes investigation.
History & Provenance
Eclipse Court astronomical research
Role in the Story
The chart bridges the campaign's political conspiracy and its astronomical threat. Following it leads the party to independent evidence at Ilyr and ultimately to Solspire, where Caelum's identity and theory are revealed. Its usefulness does not make every Eclipse interpretation correct; instead, it demonstrates that the Court's operations are built around real observations mixed with conclusions the party still has to test.
Known Properties
Maps celestial observations and ancient sites relevant to the black-star cycle; identifies Ilyr and Solspire as connected research points; useful as evidence of Eclipse planning rather than proof of Caelum's conclusions.
