╰┈➤ AEVUM ISLES :: VIDERENOX OBSERVATORY ❂

The summer celebration has finally reached its peak. The golden moon is full, and casts its glow across all of Aevum. This morning, all Echoes and Aercon alike receive, a golden envelope. Inside is a letter that reads:

Dear Starlights and Starbrights, We cordially invite you to attend the Solstice Ball, held this year at the Vidrenox Observatory in Downtown Arcanus. Please wear your finest black tie attire to the event, and be prepared to dance the night away among the stars. Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments shall be provided. Simply bring this letter to the observatory in order to enter the celebration. We look forward to your presence. With regards, Dr. Janus Astrophel

Throughout the days of June 16th - 30th, multiple gatherings will be held inside of the Vidernox Observatory.

(After the festival, the Observatory will become a permanent addition to Arcanus Isle. See below for details regarding the activity and information about the new location!)

Viderenox Observatory

A building dedicated to the study of the stars above Aevum Isles. The structure itself is round and made up of two stories. The observatory is owned and operated by Dr. Janus Astrophel, who is well-known for his dedication to studying the cosmos. He is very kind, albeit anxious and especially particular about no one touching his papers. Some say that he will even fly into a frantic panic if even a single paper is moved!

He has long grey hair, often braided with gold or silver threads ( put there by his 8-year-old granddaughter, Stella Astrophel, who can often be seen helping her uncle run the observatory ), and wears a long galaxy-patterned robe. He loves teaching and discussing his findings with anyone who happens to have a minimum of three hours of free time.

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor is a vast, open space, with a giant telescope sitting right in the center. There are offices and labs at its base where researchers toil endlessly studying the galactic bodies. (There is also a gift shop! Wares include various space-themed wares, books, and star maps native to the Aevum Isles.)

SECOND FLOOR

The second story (which sits along the perimeter wall, and shares the same roof as the first floor) has many educational exhibits, detailing common knowledge of the galaxy, as well as published research journals and guides to space and the stars. These cannot be taken from the observatory. However, copies of these books may be found at the Arcanus Archives Second Floor for further reading inside the Archives.

Throughout the day, the main room on the first floor becomes a Planetarium, where a live show will talk about the planets, stars, and other novelties found in space. While it is primarily education in function, the Aercon take pride in putting on spectacle, and bring the show to life with the help of floating star lanterns.

At night, the ceiling opens up like a flower, allowing for viewing of the night sky with more impromptu demonstrations.

Solstice Ball

During the last two weeks of June, the main event held inside the observatory is the highly anticipated Solstice Ball. The ceiling of the conservatory opens, allowing for the light of the golden moon to shine upon the dancers below.

In order to attend, the invited must present their golden letter to the attendants at the gate. Inside, arrivals will find the well-decorated room full of people dressed in their finest, fanciest attire.

Attendants walk between guests with trays of drinks and hors d'oeuvre, though larger portions may also be found at the open bar and snack tables. The food was catered by the famous Chef Trop Chere, owner of the Casa Nova restaurant. The featured wine is, of course, Honeyglow Meadery's Sunflower Wine.

The telescope is also open to those who may wish for a closer look at the stars. Janus Astrophel can be found there assisting visitors with the equipment and teaching them about Aevum's galaxy. The studies and offices are closed during the event. Echoes who prefer to explore will find these doors have been locked. Fortunately, other exhibits may be explored, creating quieter areas of rest during the party.

Of course, the main activity of the ball is the dance! A live orchestra fills the hall with beautiful music, while the dancers pair and waltz under the stars. In some of the dance numbers, the floor of the observatory matches the night sky above. This creates the appearance of literally dancing amidst the stars.

Aevum Galaxy

With the observatory comes brand new information about the stars and planets that exist outside of Aevum! These will also be found on a dedicated page once the festival has reached its conclusion.

Aevum is a flat, endless plane in the center of its universe. Everything else rotates around it. Although the ocean seems to have no end, everyone can observe above them an entire universe full of wonders still being discovered to this day.

The Sun

This ball of gas rotates around Aevum, creating the day and night cycles as we know it. It is called Auty in some legends, but is typically just called the Sun regardless.

The Moons

Aevum has two moons: Agat and Alle, with Agat being the bigger of the two sisters (and is the moon that changes appearance which has also given it the nickname "Bearer Moon"). The two moons work together in tandem creating the tides and illuminating the night.

The Planets

There are five planets that orbit Aevum. Each one is unique, though none are believed to have life on them. These can be viewed better during different parts of the year, which the observatory holds special viewings of whenever they do come around.

Ignis - the smallest of the planets and the one closest to the sun. Because of this, the surface is extremely hot and barren. The surface is also covered in lava with wax-like properties. So when one side faces the sun, the lava moves. While on the dark side of the planet, the lava turns firm and hard. It has two moons called Glim and Coal. From Arcanus, it takes on a reddish color.

Lutum - because it's fairly close to the sun, this second can get hot. However, the planet is also observed to be potentially covered in all sorts of precious materials/minerals. In fact, its surface is completely covered in rocks. This planet also has the most moons, having five of them called Basalt, Granite, Mica, Slate, and Quartz. From the ground, it takes on a purple color.

Folium - one of the most observed planets in the system, due to the fact it does appear to be able to sustain life on its surface. There is water and plants, and presumably an entire ecosystem. However, the Aercon have not been able to make any expeditions to Folium. All previous attempts have ended in disaster. This planet only has one moon called Root. From the ground, it takes on a green color.

Ventus - this is the biggest planet in the system. It has two rings that circle it ( resembling an atom ) and is completely made up of toxic gases all flowing in all different directions. The rings rotate slowly as well. This planet has four moons, named Cirrus, Stratus, Cumulus, and Nimbo. From the ground, it takes on a yellow color.

Amnis - the planet furthest away from the sun. This planet is entirely made out of water, which is mostly frozen into ice as a result. It is the hardest to spot in the solar system. It is also the planet that is the least known about due to its rare spotting. It has three moons called Glacier, Droplet, and Steam. From the ground, it will take on a faint blue color.

The Stars

Aevum's night sky is full of many constellations, though, in texts, some constellations appear to be blurred out whenever one tries to read about them. They come and go in cycles depending on the season, with some Aercon attributing personalities to certain constellations.

The current constellations include:

The Kirin - A group of 10 stars that resemble a Kirin rearing its horn towards the north - the tip of its horn is identified as a northern star which many sailors reference in their travels. The constellation is most visible in the winter months.

The Phoenix - A group of 10 stars that resemble a phoenix flying towards the south. The constellation is most visible in the summer months.

The Dragon - A group of 9 stars that resemble the form of a dragon, the head of which points east. This constellation is most visible in the spring months.

The Turtle - A group of 12 stars that resemble the form of a turtle, the head of which is pointing towards the west. This constellation is most visible in the autumn months.

The Tree - A group of 13 stars that appear to resemble an echo tree, located in the Arcanus Isle. Though the form of the tree is contained, many imagine its branches to expand far beyond this connecting all stars in the cosmos.

This list will be updated as more constellations are discovered.

A short story: King of Darkness Aftermath, Part 1

As the machine sounds thundered outside Canterlot's already battered walls, a young filly of 3 walked beside her mother in its great halls.

"Mummy, what is politics? " Nebula asked innocently, still hugging her Teddy bear.

"That would be your uncles and aunties, and that annoying Twilight stealing your daddy's fair share of the Equestria's pie." came the reply from the mother.

"But Mummy, if a monster steal the pie, then no pie for all!" The little filly now hug her mother's leg, stopping her in her tracks.

"..." Crimson sighed but Nebula pressed on, "Forgive Granny? Pleaseeeeeeee?"

"I don't know..."

"Pleaseeeee?"

"Just for you." Putting the little filly on her back, Crimson sighed heavily. "Well, I don't want this world to be destroyed. But first.. Mummy have things to do. You better do your homework kiddo." She nodded to a nearby Kobold knight, putting the filly under her care. "Take the Princess to her Daddy. I, Crimson Sparkle will make things right."

With that, the alicorn made her way into the secret quarters. She was determined to change what seems to be a unwinnable situation.

If that meant meeting her old foes, then so be it...

Someone Worte that he could not stand to see the Palestine flag anymore.

Sorry, but not sorry

Reblog daily

I am not done yet

Only way to stop seeing this flag is when the oppression is over.
