Our session begins in the midst of interstellar travel riding a
space-whale into the void where mists seem to sustain travelers along what we surmise
is the ethereal plane. As we travel the Leviathan’s exertion become less labored
as we soar through the starry landscape. Below upon the back of the beast,
mongrel men danced their mythic ritual under the void.
Some of us decide it was finally time to eat of the godsflesh in an
attempt to glean our destination or anything else; what we experienced were disjointed
lucid visions of elation and aspirations of a higher form. After a time the
book/Vael Turog points out four motes of light following our path. Elisa thinks
them like angels but were revealed to be Lantern Archons, one of which descends
to extend his welcome, translated through Vael Turog. The Archons express
gratitude for the Leviathan and that we will be received by King Iorotas and Queen
Astrakia who are immortal rulers of the Palace of One Million Stars when we arrive. After
their visit they fly down to the mongrel-men, only to observe it seemed.

A unknown time later we came to the Star Citadel, a huge radiant
six-pointed castle like a star in space by which the Leviathan began a slow
lazy orbit around. We were approached by a unique winged being Captain Elushiel
who wears a star-metal amulet and welcomes our tribute of the Leviathan;
assuming that we command the beast and the creatures upon it and requests that
we bring the Leviathan onto the beach. Elushiel sees our actions to be attempting to do just
that and departs hoping to see us after we beach the creature. Arnum
Stormcloak attempts to coax the beast into port after eating the godsflesh but after two hours of trying
the Leviathan resisted but Arnum was able to see to getting in close to the Palace
Citadel. Vorware Undhin flies us over one at a time before the Leviathan bumps
the Star Citadel.
Finding ourselves on a balcony we find that this structure was made for
fliers, all about we see strange Auger Kition guards, star-bearer ancients and inevitables
who reside in and around the Citadel. Free from the Leviathan who seemed to
have its own planer characteristics, we discover so too did the Citadel's environment allowing us to
breathe normally.

It was not long before Elushiel returns with concern regarding the
Leviathan. Elisa relays our entire story up to now, with Vael Turog translating
for us. We were asked about the mongrel men and our purpose, to which we
explain we are spreading the truenames of Thor and Loki to the southern lands
of Midguard. He refers to us as ‘holy-warriors’ and acknowledges each of our
faiths: Sif, Thor, Loki, Tyr, and the Earth Goddess. We are introduced to our
handeler, an elf and starbearer named Levontelin who delights in speaking
through Vael Turog.
Food and beverages are provided inducing the lucid visions of ecstasy
but for some of us we notice the urge to consume more even without hunger. We
are taken to the Courtyard and shown the various named halls and rooms. We are
shown the beach were we learn the reality of the Leviathan’s danger of being
slaughtered for consumption. We finally make it to the Armory of the Heavens
and the Hound Archon Carresland. This attracted the curiosity of Arnum
Stormcloak and Draco Morn who choose to remain until the royal court was ready
to receive us.

Vorware Undhin, Orathian Bjomolf, and Elisa Berit returned to the
Courtyard where Elisa had a run-in with a Midgard elf, Lady Sorreminx who
seemed to take offense at the propagandized history of the elves retreat from Midgard.
Levontelin tells us of our arrival on the eve of the Day of Atonement and the
Comet Dance- holy days of silence, contemplation or independent worship. Besides
the Priestess Mydella of the Starry Lovers there is another, a temple of Hecate
who keeps good relations with the church of Veles (the world serpent of which
we have the Key). Eventually Arnum and Draco were brought back and we were
gathered before Elushiel who states that the King and Queen will receive us.
Joining hands with Elushiel we fly to a portal lined in star-metal and
enter the Vault of Heaven, a vast chamber without gravity or direction. Two pillars
of light wearing robes and awe inspiring dignified masks floated in the vault.
Elushiel introduces us and when the immortals respond they do so in unison and
with all their senses. They ask for the Leviathan, but it was not ours to give.
After some group discussion Elushiel suggests utilizing the Day of Atonement to
consider their choices. Give them the Leviathan with the hopes they can return
us to Midgard or was there another way to Midgard.
It became apparent to us and Vael Turog that these individuals on the
Star Citadel were dependent on the lucid effects of the Leviathan’s godsflesh
which has led to fanatical followers of King Iorotas and Queen Astrakia.
We begin next session at the end of the Day of Atonement before the
Comet Dance where it will be Footloose all over the place.
