Cities in the Stars: Difference between revisions

The '''Cities in the Stars''' are radiant, sanctified metropolises constructed by the [[Nâ'ôna]] around each [[Star (Lethurêa)]], orbiting at the threshold between [[It'slâmwâ]] and [[Yedistren]]. Crafted from woven light and sustained by the [[Light of It'slâmwâ]], these cities serve as the eternal homes, sanctuaries, and centers of worship for the Nâ'ôna, as well as occasional havens for refugees during cosmic crises.{{cosmology|name=Cities in the Stars|image=StarCity.jpg|imagecaption=Three golden city-rings surrounding a Lethurêan Star|type=Celestial Metropolis / Cosmological Phenomenon|universe=[[Lethurêa]]|location=One city orbiting each [[Star (Lethurêa)]]|first_appearance=Age of the First Nâ'ôna|discovered=Crafted by the Nâ'ôna after the [[True First War]]|notable_events=[[Elder Valorêin Rebellion]], sheltering of Mêra Ûrlek Mega-Farm and Merik Mega-Farm, periods of cosmic crisis|mythology=Sacred sanctuaries, "homes of the star-guides", center of divine worship|current_status=Active, undestroyed|associated_with=[[Nâ'ôna]], [[It'slâmwâ]], [[Light of It'slâmwâ]]|function=Homes, places of worship, sanctuaries, markets, spiritual passage|composition=Woven light, metaphysical matter, psionic auroras|structure=Star at center, three golden rings, bi-statues of Mother and Father, pylons, guardian statues, flowing auroras|dimensions=Encircle and orbit their respective Star; apparent size varies with perception|interactions=Serve as refuge during cosmic crisis, interface with spirit streams|influences=Source of inspiration in Lethurêan art, myth, and festival|guardians=[[Nâ'ôna]]|related_species=[[Nâ'ôna]], [[Sherok]] (as refugees), rare mortals in crisis|technology=Unique to the cities, powered directly by the [[Light of It'slâmwâ]]|forbidden=All acts of violence or desecration; city itself is wholly sacred|rituals=Worship, guiding of spirits, singing of the [[Call of It'slâmwâ]]|cultural_significance=Foundation of Lethurêan spiritual architecture and cosmic lore}}

The primary residents are the [[Nâ'ôna]], who fulfill their duties as guardians, spirit-guides, and worshippers. During rare periods of cosmic crisis, mortals or spirits in need may be given sanctuary—most notably, the [[Sherok]] after the Elder Valorêin Rebellion, and [[Mêra Ûrlek Mega-Farm]] and [[Merik Mega-Farm]], who were brought to the City Ôlôbrimol to recover after great exertion of their powers.
