The Chapter of the Seventh Sign

The discovery of this fragmented section, bound in what appears to be petrified starlight and meticulously etched vellum, fundamentally alters the truth presented by the Book of Seeing. As Chronicler, I recognize that recording the Chapter of the Seventh Sign is not merely documenting history, but shaping a future predicated on this newly revealed, terrifying knowledge. This text does not simply foresee a cosmic event; it details the necessary confluence of conditions required for the [[Grand Conjunction]]

a nexus of celestial power where all seven known stellar bodies align directly over the Iron-Grip Mountains. The Chapter states this phenomenon, last recorded during the decline of the Aerilon Ascendancy, is not natural, but a deliberate astronomical manipulation achieved through massive, forgotten Aetherium Conduits. The precise geometry of the ritual is laid bare here, requiring specific sonic frequencies

perhaps akin to long-lost Resonance Weaving techniques

to channel the energy.

The ultimate purpose of this forced alignment, the chapter reveals, is the final activation or destruction of the Sunstone of Aethelgard, which acts as the fulcrum for the entire process. It outlines the grim consequences of failure: the [[Celestial Collapse]], an entropic cataclysm far worse than the localized destruction of the Great Sundering, threatening to accelerate the inevitable Great Unmaking. The text warns specifically against allowing the Cloud Keepers or any modern Sky-Seers to attempt the alignment, suggesting their understanding of the ancient mechanics is tragically incomplete. It insists that only the pure, unsullied methodology of the long-vanished [[Astral Cartographers]] can safely guide such a ritual. Their forgotten maps, which trace the geometric paths between the stars and the earth’s hidden Veins of Whispers, hold the key to preventing utter catastrophe. This chapter demands immediate action and redefines the future of the Abbey.
