[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 7523123, member: 6925177"] Wotcher, me again. In the Zeitgeist universe, stars seem to fall a lot. How, and why? What are they? Arsenal of Dhebisu [I]The greatest warrior of her day snatched a falling star and used it to slay a rakshasa. [/I] Skyseer Vision of Avilona [I]You float, the constellation Draco beside you, and beneath you the planet Avilona is balanced on a pin of white stone. To your side, the stars of Draco plummet, and then you too are falling, with no wind to hold you aloft. [/I]Book 9 Climax [I]Overhead, the heavens shift and stars literally fall from the sky, a few every minute. They plunge silently, then flash and sizzle as they strike the water. [/I][I]When Stanfield is finally cut down, or when the lighthouse is snuffed, he utters a few dying words, and a star falls directly upon the keep.[/I] So, what are stars in this context? Are they, as in our universe (and with Vona), suns? Are they literally falling from the sky? If so, how- why does the Axis Ritual cause this to happen? Why did the Draco constellation arguably disappear? Is this a common event in this universe? I can live with the answer of 'weird star-stuff happens in this universe'. Stars go out randomly, or due to unknown far-off events. When Axis Ritual-scale chicanery happens, weird stuff like stars falling happens in a symbolic-ritualistic way. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
