The Celestial Shard was unearthed in the remote ruins of Astralis, a forgotten city from the ancient era of the Astral Empire. It was believed to hold remnants of a powerful cosmic force, a relic of the first stars.
The shard passed through the hands of many, from a humble blacksmith to a revered astronomer, and finally to a secretive order of astral navigators. Each claimed it had a unique power, though none could replicate its true essence.
Legend tells of its ability to reveal hidden paths through the astral plane, granting its wielder unparalleled vision. It is said to respond only to those with the purest intent and the deepest understanding of the cosmos.
