• The Celestial Compass - a fancy yacht sold by Chadds-R-Us Voidships.

• The Homeshard Heroes find themselves on their way to Three Sisters Voidspace Station. There, a coven of three hags, Agatha, Bryinx, and Cerephina host gambling tournaments in order to raise funds for their research into gemstone magic. They also have learned that Noriak, one of the Orphans of Aryiah is in fact Kairon, a haunted Shadar-Kai fellow who worked for Psithuris at the Scalesong Sanctuary.
• Caiel has managed to secure his father's famciest yacht, the Celestial Compass for the trip.
• The shop is stacked by the notorious pirate Singe the blazing Buccaneer, his pet dragon Flamer, and his flotilla of small void ships. After Caiel leads a chase through an asteroid field, Singe is splattered all over the back of one of his small voidships and his gang is defeated.

• Graeae works alone and eschews any coven of her own. Although Graeae employs covens of hags, and cultivates a reputation as a hag, she herself is not actually a hag.
• Graeae originates from the Feywild, in a time long before the Sundering. She is less of a hag and more of an undead being like a vampire or lich.
• Graeae’s hold over the covens of hags in her employ stems from her promise to help the hags control the great demon lord, Juiblex.
• Graeae stood by as the Sundering happened. Many say the great hag profited from it.
• Lonely and lovesick for a fallen loved one, Graeae hopes to revive this being from death just as Ariyah the Reborn was raised by Eilac. Perhaps the same magic still lies within the Orphans of Ariyah?

• Graeae has a particular fixation on Lagomorphs. While the feelings are undeniably strong, it is unclear whether it is love or hate. Or both?
• It took losing her star pupil for Graeae to realize that she loved him. Only the drive to see him again has led her to seek a way to tear his soul away from eternal rest so that she could be reunited with him once again in life. Graeae knows that there is no way that they would ever be reunited in the afterlife because of the poor choices she made in life.
• Graeae once worked with a being known as the King in Yellow who came from a place beyond time and space.
• The Illithids once workd for the being known as the King in Yellow.

Player Characters:

• Lith (Bridget)
• Caiel (Nat)
• Elyadra (Nicholle)
• Keeka (Sheila)
• Val (Tim)

Caiel offered Steve McSword to join a “booze cruise” on the Celestial Compass.

Val asked about his old universe where he faced the Lich Ash the Everliving backed by Cosimo and Ren the Unrewardable.

Keeka and Yerbie had a flirtations moment, but Keeka and Val end up leaving the Bard Rock Cafe together.

Caiel asks who or what is locking it all down with respect to traveling to the outer planes. The chaos and disorder in the outer planes prevents any communication or travel.

A Legend Lore spell from Lith using the Lore-Ax reveals that Ao, AKA the Demiurge held the Universe together. With its destruction the Sundering occurred. It was not clear who or what could ever actually purge the “guardrails of the universe,” but it is understood that with this being's destruction the Sundering began.
