	These sensations are not restricted to astronomancers, nor solely to magicians. They are strongest at night when the stars are visible in the sky. Nor is it likely they are restricted solely to the Empire - every mortal land shares the same sky, after all.		These sensations are not restricted to astronomancers, nor solely to magicians.

	Across the north, from Tanikipari in western [[Sermersuaq]] to Crowslook in eastern [[Karsk]], the great winter lights are visible despite it being autumn. They coil and dance across the night sky, brighter than any mystic or volhov can remember their ever having been. Something momentous is afoot.

They coil and dance across the night sky, brighter than any [[mystic]] or [[Varushka_magical_traditions#Volhov\|volhov]] can remember their ever having been. Something momentous is afoot.

	The astronomancers know that a grand conjunction occurs once in a lifetime, if that. Four constellations moving into a balanced alignment with the [[The Wanderer\|Wanderer]]. [[The Door]], [[The Stork\|the Stork]], [[The_Spider_and_The_Web#The_Web\|the Web]] and the [[The Great Wyrm\|Great Wyrm]] with the eye of change equidistant between them. The effects are ... miraculous. Wonderful. Catastrophic, potentially.		The [[astronomancy\|astronomancers]] know that a grand conjunction occurs once in a lifetime, if that.

	As the crimson pilgrim burns in the night sky - an ember, a dark jewel, a glaring eye - things go awry, things shift. Those sensitive to such things - especially those who have dedicated their lives to the study of magic - complain of hearing a distant chord when they are under the unclouded sky. Some speak of moments of extreme vertigo, as if the world were spinning around them as they remain stationary. Others awake from dreams fill of a sense of the inexorable march of history, of the way events branch and merge to create other events. Some of the most sensitive talk of experiencing a sense of interconnectedness with everything around them that becomes stronger among those that draw on the coven bond with their fellow ritualists. Finally, a rare few talk distantly of strange notions that come upon them when they are alone, notions that force them to confront and challenge their most precious beliefs.
