When [[Tavarius]] manipulated the [[Disc of the Nocturne]] to create the [[:Category:Eternal Night|Eternal Night]], all signs of the [[Gods|Goddess]] [[Ourania]] vanished. The moon could not be found in the heavens, and Her reassuring voice failed to respond to the searching cries of Her faithful. Icy dread gripped the [[Divine_Order|Order]] of the Moon and those within the city of [[Hashan]] who relied on Her guidance. | When [[Tavarius]] manipulated the [[Disc of the Nocturne]] to create the [[:Category:Eternal Night|Eternal Night]], all signs of the [[Gods|Goddess]] [[Ourania]] vanished.

After several months of fruitless searching, the Order was seen to gather at the ocean cliff near [[Tasur'ke]], a place sacred to the Goddess. The focus of their attention soon became obvious; the three visages of their Lady stood at the entrance of the [[Temple of the Moon|temple]], weaving as they chanted a mysterious poem. When their work was completed, they crumbled to dust leaving only a shimmering net of stars and their riddle. | After several months of fruitless searching, the Order was seen to gather at the ocean cliff near [[Tasur'ke]], a place sacred to the Goddess.

The Order realised that, in order to empower the net, its members would need to find the moon. They soon flew to work, racing about the continent, seeking to find a way to perform this command. Finally, it was discovered that though the moon had vanished from the sky, its reflection was still preserved in the waters of the six [[:Category:City-states|cities]]. Moving quickly to each one in turn, the Order spread the net across the water, and was rewarded to see it shimmer with power as it absorbed the moonlight. | |||
Having been empowered at all six cities, the net was taken, in accordance with the riddle, to the [[Nychtaur]], which was busily ravaging [[New Thera]]. The [[Spirit Walkers|Spirit Walker]] Kaixis hurled the net over the beast, and all were astonished to see it transform into a mighty [[nightmares|nightmare]] stallion. Further astonishment occurred to those watching when, suddenly, [[Thoth]] and [[Valnurana]] appeared. Neither of these Gods had been seen by mortals in many years. They swiftly discussed an old agreement between Themselves, and then departed. Valnurana took with Her the nightmare stallion and the herd of lesser nightmares that had been wandering the land during the eclipse. | Having been empowered at all six cities, the net was taken, in accordance with the riddle, to the [[Nychtaur]], which was busily ravaging [[New Thera]].
