Void Spheres

Summary

The void spheres are a set of eight containment or power objects discovered through the old mage-school astronomy and Mr Moreley clues.

Known Details

  • A voice in the astronomy room had a gift for Brotor and said Mr Moreley had taken the void; the gift was part of the void.
  • Squall’s Belt appeared as a dark eclipse shape with writing rather than a normal constellation.
  • Geldrin put the hockey puck into the void, and the void recognized its lord after the party said they had Brotor’s eye.
  • The void tried to enter Dirk’s mind, confirmed it was free, and disappeared, leaving an orb of void like the smoke orb in Mr Moreley’s room.
  • The party learned they need eight spheres in total.
  • Instructions said to gather dust, take it to the Aurises who put it in the ball, and return to the Air room.
  • The next leads were Ruby Eye’s old stomping ground / Air common room and the kitchen, where the seasoning was kept.
  • On Day 46, the basement relief map had eight divots around its outside, apparently for the orbs.
  • The party opened the kitchen salt pot with 6/11/10/13/7, recovered salt, and then followed clues toward Weather and Herbs.
  • In the Weather room, the party changed the room between temperate and storm weather, used Shape Water, and charged an orb with lightning to gain the Storm Orb.
  • Placing the orbs in their relevant slots created a slight glow and changed the locked door to show ancient Draconic runes warning of a memory-destroying creature and a forgotten spell.
  • The warned creature was the Original Goliath Sphinx, stolen and altered when the Dome was created and used to alter memories across the Dome.
  • After the battle and the defeat of the invisible entity, four doors appeared in the map room and Amoursorate’s orb was the one not lit; it had a tiny scratch.

Open Questions

  • What do the eight spheres contain or power?
  • Is the void sphere connected to Garadul, Brotor / Brutor, Mr Moreley, or Squall’s Belt?
  • Who are the Aurises?
  • Why is Amoursorate’s orb scratched and unlit?
  • How does the Storm Orb relate to the earlier void sphere and kitchen seasoning clue?
