Lore of the Astral Gardens


In the First Era of Synith, First Era Sal, the Niecrotiesk ancients that inhabited the Karkow Lowlands discovered the art of astronomy. To study the stars the Niecro would require an observatory and since the city of Riekestad had yet to be built and Sjostad did not have the structures required for astronomy. Since the Hundred Lakes did not provide a large enough space to build an adequet observatory the Niecro scouted out a suitable plot of land along the Nad River. The Niecro astronomers founded the Order of the Stars to further study astronomy and to maintain the observatory. The Order built up a large observatory conatining numerous advanced technologies. When the Long Night arrived the Observatory thrived and quckly died as the endless night continued into the Second Era, the Age of Night. During the Second Era the observatory was abandoned and fell into ruin. With the coming of the Third Era, the Age of Magik, the Long Night ended and the New Order of the Stars returned to the ruined observatory. With the Fall of Technology and Rise of Magik the new order had no use for the remains of machines that existed there and removed them. In its place the Astral Gardens were created. Constilations relating to the various Astral Magiks were recreated in the gardens and four Magikal Arches were built to form a Magik Barrier to shield the Gardens from the elements. A gigantic astrolabe was constructed as a nexus of magikal energies and five runes were constructed and levetated above the gardens to focus the images of the stars. Soon after the city of Riekestad was founded the Order of the Stars had a Mage hall built near the city centre to train Magi in the art of Astral Magik. At the end of the Third Era when the Wraiths sacked Riekestad, the Astral Gardens' magik barrier prevented the Wraiths from entering the gardens. During the Fourth Era, the Age of Ruin, the magik barrier protected the Astral Gardens from the elements keeping them in prime condition. With the Necromancers now abandoning the Lowlands the Gardens were left untouched for the entire Fourth Era. The Gardens were similarly left undiscovered during the Fifth Era, the Age of Founding. Only with the rise of the Sixth Era, the Age of Syncronization were the gardens rediscovered by Necromancers scouting the Karkow Lowlands. Now the Necromancers have reactivated it and are using its ancient functions to enhance their magiks.
