			Shortly before the Summer Solstice 386YE a [[Metal_and_stone#Brilliant_Star\|proposal]] was made by Izenbra of the Architects of Iron and Stone, a herald of [[Estavus]], that the artisans might forge ushabti to support the miners of the Brilliant Star. Following the Summer Solstice '''Esteban Ezmara of Zenith Ascendant''' ordered the artisans to craft the ushabti of [[tempest jade]] and [[weltsilver]] each season for the mithril mine, increasing production of the Brilliant Star by three wains of mithril each season. An [[Architect of the Crucible]] can order the artisans to cease and instead return to providing bespoke ushabti to support individuals in Urizen, which would reduce the output of the mine back to 28 wains each season.

	The Brilliant Star is located in [[Redoubt#Tomari\|Tomari]] in the [[Urizen]] [[territory]] of [[Redoubt]].

The Brilliant Star is located in [[Redoubt#Tomari\|Tomari]] in the [[Urizen]] [[territory]] of [[Redoubt]]. Custodianship of the Brilliant Star grants an [[Imperial title]]; a seat on the [[Imperial Bourse]]; and a seasonal bounty of valuable mithril.

	The Brilliant Star was, historically, an Imperial seat [[Auction of the Seats\|auctioned]] through the Imperial Bourse. At the Summer Solstice 385YE, the Imperial Senate voted to [[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Relinquish_the_Brilliant_Star\|relinquish]] the seat and [[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Allocate_the_Brilliant_Star\|reallocate]] it as an Urizen national position.

At the Summer Solstice 385YE, the Imperial Senate voted to [[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Relinquish_the_Brilliant_Star\|relinquish]] the seat and [[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Allocate_the_Brilliant_Star\|reallocate]] it as an Urizen national position.

			During the Autumn Equinox 385YE, as part of the ongoing [[To_the_last_syllable#In_Urizen\|invasion of the Empire]] by the forces of [[Cold Sun]], the Brilliant Star was attacked by a cadre of ''scions''. A force of Imperial heroes [[To_the_last_syllable#Choices\|tried to intervene]] but were unfortunately beaten back. The scions assailed the mine, stole a bounty of mithril... and somehow twisted the light that gives the mine its name.

	==The Resource==		==The Resource==
	The Brilliant Star consists of a network of tunnels beneath the peaks of Tomari, overlooking the [[Urizen]] [[spire]] of [[Redoubt#Delving\|Delving]]. Hailed as the most beautiful of all the star shaped tunnel complexes that underlie the south-eastern mountains, the walls of the Brilliant Star gleam slightly even when there is no other light. This eerie phosphorescence ~~attracts~~ scholars from all over Urizen; experiments ~~have shown~~ that the pale light from the walls actively ~~promotes~~ reasoned thought, and ~~eases~~ the understanding of difficult theoretical principles not only in magic but in all advanced disciplines including mathematics and natural philosophy.		The Brilliant Star consists of a network of tunnels beneath the peaks of Tomari, overlooking the [[Urizen]] [[spire]] of [[Redoubt#Delving\|Delving]]. Hailed as the most beautiful of all the star shaped tunnel complexes that underlie the south-eastern mountains, the walls of the Brilliant Star gleam slightly even when there is no other light. This eerie phosphorescence attracted scholars from all over Urizen; experiments showed that the pale light from the walls actively promoted reasoned thought, and eased the understanding of difficult theoretical principles not only in magic but in all advanced disciplines including mathematics and natural philosophy.

			Unfortunately, the tunnels are also part of an active mine, and do not welcome casual visitors who wish to study in the lucent effulgence of the tunnel walls. Over the centuries, this led to a number of unfortunate accidents, and both would-be scholars and miners alike have paid a tragic price for interference in the mine workings. On occasion these trespassers actually interfered with the mine's production, whether accidentally through their unsanctioned presence; through the use of misplaced magic (the mines have an affinity for the realm of [[Day magic\|Day]]); or even through intentional interference.

			According to the scholars who study the light, it becomes dimmer the less mithril ore there is in its vicinity. This means that the light is strongest in those areas where the mine workers are most active in extracting the mithril ore. On at least one occasion (during the reign of [[Emperor James]]), militant magicians occupied lower sections of the mine and attempted to prevent workers from removing the precious ore. Unsurprisingly, this occupation led to a near riot and led to the tight security measures that persist to this day. Despite the presence of sentries and regular patrols, barely a season goes by without an ambitious student, or a wily master, sneaking past the workers to explore the Brilliant Star.

			Everything changed for the worse in the [[Watercolours_in_the_rain#The_Star_Shining_Brightly\|aftermath of Cold Sun's attack]]. Where previously the walls of the tunnels gleamed with a soft glow, they now resemble glittering coal, and shine like silver with an eerie black-green light. The mithril remains but the light that once promoted reasoned thought, that at one time eased the understanding of difficult theoretical principles is gone... and that lucent glow that has replaced it is ''dangerous''. Examination and divinations such as [[Bright Lantern of Ophis]] indicate that the ''scions'' had worked a permanent change on the [[Day magic]] that infuses the mine. The previously benign illumination is now a [[Day magic#Force\|deadly bane]], possessing natural properties that make it inimical to living beings. It also makes it easier to find mithril, however, because the new qualities of the illumination make it ''much'' brighter where there are large deposits of the precious metal. Provided one can brave the intensity of the deadly light.

			Further investigation indicated that there are ways to protect against its insidious effects. [[Tempest jade]] absorbs the malignant effects of the luminosity, but in the process becomes corrupted and twisted by the disruptive force. There is some initial optimism that enough tempest jade could be used to restore the mine completely, but those hopes are soon dashed. The tempest jade doesn't weaken the light in any way, it simply protects living beings in contact with it from the light's cursed touch while itself being slowly corrupted.
