Though distant, the celestial bodies in the sky shed their light upon our lives. The moon and stars wheel and guide, beckoning from afar, while the sun's radiance brings light and life. Yet stars can fall, and the sun's light unchecked may yet burn all things to ash...

Rumors and Story Aspects
a) A Proper Tribute (Monday, June 12th, 2017, 7:30pm CST)
For some, it's not enough to wait for trouble; it must instead be sought out and embraced intimately (or pushed onto its knees and made to embrace you). What opportunities might arise for those well-positioned to exploit them? Partners in cat-astrophe S'imba and Evangeline have decided to enter ancient Allagan ruins to seek a gift for... someone. Something incredible! Powerful! Probably lined with blue strip-lighting! They probably shouldn't go alone.
"It's in Thanalan, well, the exit, I'm sure it's totally safe since the Warrior of Light went through there. And all the stuff just lying around! We go in, take the stuff, blow up anything we don't like. It's a PERFECT plan."

b) Little Green Friends (Saturday, June 10th, 2017, 2 pm CST)
In the reclusive, mysterious and distant locale of Camp Bronze Lake, former (and once-more!) Scholar of the legendary city of Nym Ibes Habes has been working diligently to unlock ancient memories and recover the secrets of his once-contemporaries. More than a year ago he was asked to try to remember what he could of that sect of Nymians who created, however inadvertently, the Falling Stars miqo'te so long ago. Maybe it's time someone checked in on him.
"How can one work under such conditions! Immoral women constantly seeking to press their bosoms against one's head! Giant men with too-short towels wrapped around their waists, strutting around with no care to who sees! Must I go back to the Floating City itself to find a moment's peace?!"

Goldentail and X'zarann Nunh vanished into the aether, but infamous Thaumaturge (and rumored Black/Void Mage) U'dorian the Grey believes he can track them, as long as he can have access to the point of their departure. Determined to see their threat ended, R'shesha Otharn now seeks ingress into the manor grounds, and to find a way to make a clear path for U'dorian to do his thing.
"Blades, probably wondering who's paying them now. Massive walls. Carnivorous flora. And that's before getting to the front door. Assuming the front door's even there, still. Those were some explosions."

Rumors and Story Aspects
- A febrile peace has settled upon Ul'dah. Those who pay attention to such things are of a mind that /Now is the Calm Before the Storm/.
- Newfound energy grips Ul'dah's underworld; between the strong front posed by the resilient Golden Pride, the sundering of monetarist mastermind Goldentail's estate, and the ill-concealed return to the public eye of formerly-disgraced master thaumaturge (and suspected voidmage) U'dorian the Grey, it seems it's /A Good Time to be Bad/.
- In the tundra lands below the mountains of Xelphatol, the Falling Stars, a previously unknown (and, if the rumors are true, violently xenophobic) tribe of miqo'te are showing more interest in the outside world. Increased trading activity is gaining the attention of merchants everywhere, as are rumors of the tribals' fighting prowess, coupled with a newfound willingness to hire themselves out as mercenaries.
