The obsidian Moonsphere is a device in which it is said the secrets of the future are locked. Within its impossibly dense structure, the course of every possible event encoded in the complex lattice of its formation. Most likely that is not true, but Teclis had never been one to allow the impossibility of a task to deter him from trying. That being said, not even Bel-Korhadris had been able to unlock the secrets of the Moonsphere, and generations of loremasters had similarly failed to discover what lay within. Until now, it had been gathering dust in the archive chambers of the White Tower for hundreds of years, forgotten by all save the most dedicated of scholars.[1a]
