Eclipse of Featherform — The Night Sky Took Its Own Shape

Event Summary

During the 7th bloom cycle after the rebuilding of Featherhollow, a rare celestial convergence—where Thalos’ artificial moon crossed paths with a rogue satellite known as the Iron Eye—resulted in a total eclipse that lasted exactly 88 heartbeats.

As the Vaultwinds stilled and the sky went black, thousands of Aureline in mid-flight experienced violent tremors in their wings, with some reporting spontaneous glyph eruptions along bonefeather joints—symbols never inked, and never seen again after.

Aureline historians named the phenomenon the Eclipse of Featherform, but heretics called it The Sky’s Recanting.

Transformative Effects

• Spontaneous Featherfracture: Wings weakened midair. Some lost their flight permanently. Those who landed without falling were deemed “Chosen of Seperated Light.”
• Glyph Blooming: Dozens of Spirefolk developed glowing feather glyphs overnight—non-ceremonial, erratic, and deeply prophetic.
• One glyph reportedly predicted the seventh fall of Featherhollow six cycles in advance.
• Faithquake: Wingjudges called it divine correction. Whisperscribes saw it as atmospheric memory distortion. Some young Spirefolk began carving eclipse shapes into ceremonial altars, believing the Vault was rewriting its truth.

Aftermath:

• Formation of the Hollow Choir: A rogue ecclesiastical order devoted to interpreting eclipse glyphs and rejecting Pontiff lineage.
• The Cradlefall Doctrine: A banned teaching that flight is no longer pure—that Aureline must accept memory from below, from rot and resonance, to remain divine.

Erelith Kya – Once a rising Whisperscribe, Erelith was mid-flight during the Eclipse of Featherform when her wings fractured and a rogue glyph etched itself into her inner plume. She speaks rarely, dresses in veil-feather bandages, and secretly maps premonitions onto boneglass scrolls using ink that only glows during vaultwind hush. Many say she listens to sky-silence more clearly than the Pontiff.
