As the dawn of the 5,000th lunar cycle approaches, so too does a rare fracture in the power of the fates—a moment when destiny may be rewritten, and ancient love rekindled.

Long ago, the High Sorcerer was blessed by the fates with many gifts, the most wondrous of which was the ability to traverse realms, defying the natural boundaries of time and space. In his journeys, he encountered a radiant, common fae and was instantly ensnared by love. Though he returned to her often, he could never linger—each visit strained the delicate balance that binds the realms.

But the fates, as ever, are capricious and possessive. Displeased by the Sorcerer’s devotion, they viewed his love not as a triumph of heart, but as a squandered use of the power they had bestowed. And so, in silence, they watched and waited.

While they expected his passion to fade, the High Sorcerer only grew more determined. He scoured the realms for a way to bring his beloved with him—believing that, unbound by magic’s laws, she could cross the threshold and remain by his side.

Realizing he was close to succeeding, the fates acted. Though they could not revoke their gifts, they altered them. The High Sorcerer was cast into the outer realm, his freedom to travel stripped away. Only once every 5,000th lunar cycle, when the fates’ influence weakens for a single day, does the bond loosen—granting him a fleeting passage between worlds.

Though exiled, he has never ceased searching. And now, as this rare cycle aligns with the anniversary of their first meeting, he dares to hope once more. To honor her spirit—her love of music, movement, and celebration—he summons all beings of magical descent to a grand affair.

For one night only, beneath the softened gaze of the fates, the realms may open. And perhaps, just perhaps, love will find its way home.
