Asteria House

By 2085, government-controlled megacities sprawled with mindless activity, their skies drowned in light pollution. Ancient knowledge was forgotten, and humanity’s bond with the cosmos lay severed. Amid this synthetic reality, a quiet rebellion took root. Escaping the chaos, Lyra fled to the rural site of Papplewick, where she unearthed a forgotten relic—the astrolabe. This celestial instrument sparked a reawakening. Lyra founded a community devoted to rediscovery, teaching rituals of deep cosmic connection and inspiring others to remember what was lost. The astrolabe became more than a tool—it became a symbol of resistance and renewal, reminding people of the vast universe beyond authoritarian control and artificial light . Under its guidance, they reclaimed wonder, and cosmic connection.
