I've never seen a city like this before... I think it's even bigger than the capital.

But the sky's so clear...

Aye... 'Tis beautiful, is it not? Rarely ever do I see the stars with such clarity.

I recognize some of these constellations, but... it's strange. There are a lot of stars that I'm sure I've never seen before, too...

[sageguidance]

You recognize some that easily? Do you like to study constellations, Estelle?

[mustbepurged]

Yes. Stars have a lot of cultural significance where I'm from, and... besides, they're something I could both read about and observe directly without leaving the castle.

'Tis from mere curiosity that I ask, but what do the stars mean to your people?

[mustbepurged]

It's hard to pinpoint a single answer... People in the past used to believe the stars and the moon were gods and goddesses, and formed their traditions around that. Most of those belief systems have faded into obscurity, but the traditions of that age have echoed all the way into the present.

And personally, I just really like some of those old legends...
