Rising from Destruction

After the upheaval that arose from the fall and destruction of the Tower, the woman found herself floating in empty space. Having reached the highest point, she saw the entire world around her and heard the stars singing their high, pure aria to her.

Hope in Adversity

The chiming of bells fills the heroine with hope and helps her maintain calm even in the midst of severe disaster. Lily tendrils wrap around her, connecting her to the source of bright light.

Beacon of Hope

The Star is a beacon of hope. Though the night is dark and inspires fear, the sky is pierced with reminders and hints that bright sunlight has not disappeared anywhere, even if it is now hidden from view.

Promise of Dawn

Believe that the sun will rise! This is not mere sentiment, but an immutable law of nature. For now, allow the gentle radiance to illuminate your path, and let the constellations point the way home.

Visual Description

A tall vertical card framed in a star-speckled night shows the Roman numeral XVII at the top and the title THE STAR at the bottom. In the center a red, boat-like form sits partly on water, its surface reflecting a pool of red and blue light. From the vessel rise sinuous red tendrils that curl upward and bloom into star-shaped, floral motifs against the dark sky. Tiny white stars and a nebula-like blue field fill the background, and the image is bordered by a decorative blue frame.
