Starlight Commons

This event runs from December 1st, 2024 to January 5th, 2025 at 11:59 PM UTC.

At the end of every year, the New Sunrise unfurls: A vibrant and jubilant event that wraps us in the warmth of shared memories and the promise of a new year. It's a time of laughter, gifts, and tales, of feasts under the open sky, and of sending our hopes for the coming year to the stars. This year, Hypselle Aster, the First Clovun Astrali, has invited everyone to her home near the Crystal Loch to celebrate the holiday. Hundreds of Stellaborn have been arriving over the last few days to set up their tents beside the lake.

Vanora Malagath, a young and ambitious journalist, has arrived with a pencil and paper in hand and is already beginning a long-awaited interview with the First, Hypselle Aster. “What was your brother like?” Vanora's voice is easily heard from an open window, followed by a warm chuckle that seems lost in old memories.

“Wiley was probably the most fun out of any of us. Although he couldn't move as we could, he always took the challenge with his little cart, chasing us just as fast as he would have if he had legs.” Hypselle chuckles, “He'd always make jokes and make us smile, even when it seemed like there was too much on our shoulders.” The unexpectedness of the interview has drawn a crowd, and their curiosity is piqued as they watch from the window. Hypselle seems oblivious to the onlookers as she rummages in a small box beside her. Her smile falters as she pulls out an envelope, her brow furrowing in confusion. “Is something wrong?”

The older Astrali's attention is slow to react, her eyes barely glancing away from the paper. “I…I don't recall ever seeing this.” Her voice has turned into a whisper, “I would have remembered if he wrote something.” Her fingers carefully pulled open the ancient envelope, and her eyes quickly scanned the paper as if she were starving for something she knew was impossible.

Tears, held back during the interview, now flow freely down Hypselle's cheeks, a testament to the depth of her emotions. Vanora instinctively reaches for the tissues between them. “If this is too much, we can stop. I can return another time, give you some space—”

“No.” Her response was quick, her hands gripping tighter around the letter. “I'm going to need your help, as well as whoever else we can find. Wiley and the Goddesses have sent us a mission.”

Hypselle passes around Wiley's Note to those who wish to read it in its entirety.

Following incoherent sentences and the quick trot of Hypselle, the overnight travel from the First Astrali's home was brisk and unstopping until you reached the outskirts of Suntide just after the sun rose. The residents of the nocturnal town had already tucked away for the day, making the town almost seem…abandoned.

“Hypselle, where are you going? You haven't said anything I can understand since we left your home, and we are all worried about you!” Vanora called as she struggled to keep up with the faster of her kind, unable to transform into a more viable form for traveling on land. “Not all of us can sprout a pair of extra legs, you know!”

The older Astrali finally slowed to a halt just outside of a ruined and overgrown building, nestled mere feet away from the ocean. “Find what once was treasured, From wooden beams we measured, Mysteries that beg to be unfurled, In a language all its own, veiled in swirls.” Hypselle mumbled, half to herself. “Wiley, Hallias, and I built this cabin together. It was a place where he could relax and easily access the water without the need for his cart…”

Her hooves took her a step closer to the old building before she hesitated, tears beginning to line her eyes. “I'm going to need your help, little ones. Please go in there and see what you can find that would answer that riddle. Maybe a picture, or something that seems…out of place, maybe.”

PROMPT TASK: Draw your Stellaborn searching Wiley's Shack for something important to him.
