During the years of the Thousand-Year War, many theories, myths, and legends were created, but none are as controversial or as interesting as the belief that the sky is not real. This exact phrase was found in several manuscripts of the famous Galago Etherium, who deeply unraveled the secrets behind the Spell his master Dara Irime left him, changing the course of history between the humans and the elves: Stellar Pathfinder. This magic consists of using the stars to forge a path in the shape of a constellation; the more stars connected, the farther one can travel and the harder it is to replicate the pattern.

Isn't it curious that the astrologer with the greatest knowledge of that era pondered this idea so much? Scholars dismiss it completely, while in private meetings, office discussions, or pleasant debates at meals, everyone entertains the idea in one way or another. And let's not even mention the Bards who have managed to learn the spell; they all confirm that something strange is felt when one links their mind with that of the stars.

"It feels closer than one would expect," "If I am tracing paths in the stars, why do I feel there is a sky above when I do it?" "It feels more like communion with a deity than an astral journey, it's strange."

One doesn't need to be a scholar to find, in certain cities, some graffiti saying "The sky is a lie" or "the stars are not real." However, there they are, twinkling with the same intensity and in the same position every night. And if the stars are a lie... Could our sun and moon be as well?
