"And now the time has come..." spoke Lord Twilight as night fell
on the eve of the 18th of Valnuary, 315 years after the fall of
the Selucarian Empire.

With a motion, He pulled away the veil of Darkness woven into the
tapestry of the celestial vaults themselves, revealing the full
splendour of the "Traveling Stars." These three planets were once
worshiped by an early cult that long ago flourished but died out
in the vicinity of modern day Hashan. With the recent
rediscovery of the cult's most prized artifact - the Disc of the
Nocturne - knowledge of the stars returned to the minds of men,
yet they had remained concealed to the mortal eye.

The true reasons that Lord Twilight Trismegistus must have chosen
to weave the Darkness that followed and obscured the stars for so
many centuries shall remain in His keeping. Nevertheless, He
chose to reveal the stars just as Lunastra, the star with which
the powers of the Moon are traditionally associated, overtook
Noxtra, the star of Shadows, in a position of ascendance.

In the time of the cult, the Disc of the Nocturne was used to
determine which star lead the Celestial Triad and thus which sect
would command the cult. Upon confirmation that the Disc still
indicates the dominant star, the Seneschal of Hashan, Calla
Danial, pronounced that the cult's ancient tradition would be
adapted for Hashan's present day arrangement of Patronage.

Incorporating this cult's legacy into Hashan's modern traditions
means that Hashan's Triad of Divine Patrons will now officially
take the ceremonial title of Patron during the period of His or
Her star's supremacy in the cosmos.

With the re-emergence of Noxtra, Lunastra, and Somnustra, the
realm is treated to a clear view of their brilliance every
nightfall.
