[Ghunnie]

In all settlements friendly and neutral towards the sanctuary, a note had been left, calling for artificers to participate in a project.


This project presents the design and construction of an arcane telescope intended to deepen the connection between a magi and the star to which they are aligned. Unlike a purely observational instrument, this telescope is designed to program the firmament, allowing its aim to be defined not only by physical position but by stellar resonance and magical affinity. The planet Twe of bankers, patron of Kakao, sounds promising for hidden treasures.




There are 4 pieces that need crafting and 3 assembles. 
For each piece crafted, Kakao is paying 5,000 coins per artificer. Plus +5000 Coins per graduation

Fig 2: Sketch of the project, you cannot tell the ammount of materials only by looking at it.

Kakao is in need of a supervisor to check if the project is alright and, for that, he has published his project at the library of Sanctuary and it is available to all who wishes to read it to check if there is anything that need improving or if they are interested in it at all.

INTRODUCTION:



1.1 The main Tube

The main tube of the telescope is made from a combination of Arcanium and Blue Steel to ensure both alignment and structural stability. Arcanium, a highly reflective ore with a diamond-like surface, provides a clean internal path that keeps light and energy aligned along the tube. Used alone, however, Arcanium can shift slightly with temperature changes, which may affect long-term precision. Blue Steel is added as a reinforcing layer to keep the tube rigid, reduce vibration, and prevent torsion. Although it does not conduct energy, Blue Steel ensures the structure remains straight, allowing the Arcanium core to function reliably over time. (Fig 1)

Boiling point: During fabrication, the materials must be brought to a controlled working temperature between approximately 720 °C and 780 °C, where Arcanium becomes workable without losing its reflective integrity and Blue Steel retains its crystalline stability(Mooney, Basil, 2000AC). Cooling must occur gradually and without thermal shock, as improper temperature control would result in an axis that appears straight but fails to remain aligned during use, leading to unstable focus and unreliable adjustments.(Equisol, Proteus, 1980AC)

1.2 The Rings of Power

The rings that bind the main tube are forged from Austereia and coated with a thin layer of Orichalcum(NIGHTVIEW, 1950AC). Austereia’s affinity with the ether element allows the joints to maintain energetic continuity, preventing misalignment between tube segments. Orichalcum reinforces the outer surface, increasing durability and power tolerance so the joints remain stable under adjustment, stress, and temperature changes. Without this combination, the connection points would become the most fragile part of the telescope(Pittwald, 2013AC).

For forging, Austereia is heated to approximately 640–700 °C(Mooney, Basil., 2001 AC) , where it becomes workable without losing its ether alignment. Orichalcum is applied afterward at a slightly lower temperature, around 600 °C, to bond as a reinforcing layer rather than a full alloy (Mooney, Basil., 2001 AC). If additional flexibility or bonding is required, a small amount of copper may be added as a binder. The rings must be formed gradually and cooled slowly to ensure long-term structural and energetic stability(NIGHTVIEW, 1980 AC; Equisol, Proteus, 2001AC).


Before the Austereia rings are fixed in place, simple stellar runes are traced along the contact zones between the tube and the rings. (Fig 4)These runes serve to synchronize the ether flow of the Arcanium tube with the ether-inclined nature of Austereia, ensuring that both parts settle into a shared axis during cooling.
The runes are intentionally shallow and are allowed to fade or be removed once the joint has stabilized. Leaving them active would introduce unnecessary resonance and interfere with later fine adjustments.

2.1

Mythril is used to form the internal discs, lenses, and supports because it allows precise shaping and later adjustment(Ishiko, Oliphr, 2001AC). Sand is used mainly for lens formation and polishing, acting as a temporary grinding and shaping medium to control curvature, thickness, and surface smoothness while the Mythril is worked into thin discs(Silvanus; Nera; Mooney). Once the lens stabilizes, the sand is completely removed and does not remain in the structure. For supports and spacing elements, sand may be used only as a mold(Mooney, Basil, 2000AC). This method keeps the internal system precise without locking it into a rigid alignment that would be difficult to correct later(Pittwald 2001).

The internal core is formed from Eternite, chosen for its stability and neutrality. Eternite does not amplify or distort energy; instead, it maintains a continuous and coherent internal path, allowing light and alignment to remain consistent along the tube. The core is suspended within the structure and does not make direct contact with the outer walls, ensuring that adjustments remain predictable and stable.

The Ether Star is applied only after the core and lenses are fully aligned. It is not part of the core itself, but acts as a final stabilizing and smoothing agent. When lightly applied to the lens interface and front assembly, it reduces residual noise, softens micro-distortions, and seals the existing alignment. Used at any earlier stage, the Ether Star would interfere with adjustment; used correctly, it finalizes the system without altering its structure.

3.1 Cosmic Arrangements
Celestial bodies are not passive objects but entities with defined domains, inclinations, and modes of response. Interaction with them requires guarded projection and precise intent. (Equisol, Proteus, 2000
Author: Proteus Equisol

3.2 Communication Runes and Stellar Layouts
Runic arrangements are used to guide and constrain celestial interaction(Equisol, Proteus, 1980AC). Complex arrangements employ orbiting glyphs aligned with related stars to prevent isolation and overexposure, while simplified layouts offer accessibility at higher risk(Ishiko, Oliphr, 2000AC<). These inscriptions may be written or etched on stable materials such as parchment, Adamantite, or Orichalcum(Mooney et al., 2000AC<). The runes act as guides rather than sources of power, ensuring alignment without enforcing permanent bonds. Some of them act as improvers of the art of wayfinding and were first created by the goddess Gala.

3.3 Star Bonds and Patron Stars
Authors like Equisol (1955 AC) comment that extended interaction may lead to the formation of a Star Bond, designating a celestial body as a Patron Star. According to Nera (NIGHTVIEW, 2000AC<) Such bonds may be permanent or temporary, each carrying distinct consequences. Permanent bonds provide consistent influence but reduce flexibility, while non-binding interaction allows greater adaptability(Equisol, Proteus, 2000AC) . The Hearthscope is designed to function without requiring a permanent bond, though it may support one if deliberately pursued.

3.4 Transport and Wayfinding Principles
By combining stellar alignment, runic mediation, and calibrated focus, the Hearthscope supports advanced wayfinding(Equisol & Equisol 1980AC). Rather than relying solely on visible light, the instrument can trace conceptual trajectories through stellar resonance. This allows the identification of hidden locations, collapsed routes, and objects no longer emitting direct signals, enabling exploration beyond conventional observation(Equisol, Thomas, 1980AC).


4.1 Theoretical Foundations
The project is grounded in the principles of the Cosmic Pendulum, describing the interplay of contraction and expansion, Empyrean and Abyssal motion, and the appearance of multiple substances as states of motion of a single universal source as described at Equisol, Proteus (2000AC<) These principles inform material selection, energetic balance, and system stability. Concepts such as pressure zones, equi-thermality, and opposing magnetic flows provide the theoretical basis for integrating physical structure with stellar and runic systems(NIGHTVIEW, 2100AC)

4.2 Final Assembly and Operational Notes
After final assembly and mounting, the telescope is tested under controlled conditions before active stellar interaction.
