	==The Great Making==		==The Great Making==
	Long ago, a creature known as the Blue Star crashed into Avlis. It lay at rest in the peninsula of Hel’byssia, and its tale is told elsewhere. However, when the Star fell, it caused great strife and chaos. A very far-sighted and inventive dwarf, [[Fegall]] – already a hero of the Great War, but yet to ascend to godhood – devised a plan, initially to deal with the Blue Star. But Fegall also foresaw that the Star was not alone. It had a twin, or partner, the Red Star. At some point in the future, Fegall predicted, the Red Star would come seeking its counterpart. So, he worked on a plan to defeat these world-ending threats. This was the origin of the Great Making.		Long ago, a creature known as the Blue Star crashed into Avlis. It lay at rest in the peninsula of Hel’byssia, and its tale is told elsewhere. However, when the Star fell, it caused great strife and chaos. A very far-sighted and inventive dwarf, Fegall – already a hero of the Great War, but yet to ascend to godhood – devised a plan, initially to deal with the Blue Star. He was joined in this work by his collaborator Ashavari, an Avariel fatespinner of great power. But Fegall and Ashavari also foresaw that the Star was not alone. It had a twin, or partner, the Red Star. At some point in the future, Fegall predicted, the Red Star would come seeking its counterpart. So, he worked on a plan to defeat these world-ending threats. This was the origin of the Great Making.

The components of the Great Making had been built long ago and by the present time they had fallen into disrepair. Until, that is, the crisis of the Red Star loomed. Some two years before the crisis became acute, the mage Archibald Thel and his allies discovered Ashavari's workshop, later discovered to be the Sky Tower, a component of the Great Making. They learned of the components of the Great Making and its state of disrepair. Worse, they learned that the Great Making itself was never completed. With great effort, Archibald and his allies were able to finish what Fegall and Ashavari had started.

	One by one, the heroes found and repaired the mirrors. Archibald and his wife, Thienna Skybreaker, set to work repairing the Orrery itself.		One by one, the heroes found and repaired the mirrors. Archibald and his wife, Thienna Skybreaker, set to work repairing the Orrery itself.

	When the first signs of the Red Star’s approach became known, the heroes learned ~~of another factor~~ in the ~~Great Making –~~ the ~~legendary chronomancer, Ashavari. Ashavari was an~~ avariel ~~of great magical power who was believed to have lived thousands of years before~~ the present day. ~~What the heroes eventually learned was that~~ Ashavari’s control of time magic was such that she had journeyed back and forth through time on several occasions in Avlis’ history~~. She was born, in fact, in the present day~~. Archibald and Thienna found the young Ashavari and took her into their care, ~~not yet~~ knowing ~~exactly what part~~ she would play.		When the first signs of the Red Star’s approach became known, the heroes learned something remarkable about Ashavari herself. They discovered that although she had had lived long in the past, the avariel mage had in fact been born in the present day. Ashavari’s control of time magic was such that she had journeyed back and forth through time on several occasions in Avlis’ history. Archibald and Thienna, aided by adventurers, found the young Ashavari and took her into their care, knowing that her great power meant she would have a remarkable part to play in the events that followed.

	As the Red Star crisis continued to develop, one final piece of the Great Making remained for Archibald to find – the legendary Tick Tock Tower, control center of the Great Making. Without discovering and entering the tower, it is doubtful if the Making could have been made to work at all.
