Heralding rebirth and renewal, the aurora supernalis shimmers once more in the skies over Achaea, veiling the heavens in blues and yellows. Astrologers state that this spectacular sight signifies the drawing to a close of the sixteenth cycle of the Dance of the Vault, as counted from the beginning of the modern age.

As is traditional, the arrival of the aurora is a time for celebration. In the past adventurers have met with Ironbeard the Magnanimous, been offered their choice from the treasures of the itinerant bazaar, and battled each other for praise and prizes.

In accompaniment to the auspicious phenomenon, it is also anticipated that many of the elder stars will complete their celestial progressions and fall from the heavens. Any remnants of these ancient luminaries are sure to be coveted by specialist crafters.

What memories will be created as we bid hail and welcome to the beginning of the seventeenth circuit of the Dance?
