Artifacts/Everweaving Tapestry Of The Skies

Everweaving Tapestry of the Skies

Level: One
Commitment: None

A large silk tapestry, sixteen feet wide and nine feet tall, the Everweaving Tapestry of the Skies is an Artifact of subtle power and great usefulness. Almost certainly of Sidereal design, the tapestry appears to be a representation of the sky. The wonder of this; however, is not its beauty. It is a thing of constant motion, continuously weaving and unraveling itself, changing colors and patterns in a nearly endless cycle, fueled by Essence it harmlessly absorbs from the world around it.

It does not merely appear to be a representation of the sky. It is a representation of the sky. The tapestry changes its design continuously, matching the behavior of both the daytime and nighttime skies. As the Unconquered Sun moves across Creation, a perfectly scaled representation moves across the tapestry, its movement accompanied by the constant, and annoying din of the cloth ripping, tearing and weaving itself.

During the night, the tapestry perfectly mimics the movement of the stars and planets. Things such as clouds and large storms are taken into account. Even the smoke of a fire, if large enough, will appear on the wall-hanging. All events which are major enough to effect destiny, and occur in the sky are represented.

While very useful, the tapestry can also be a nuisance. The Everweaving Tapestry of the Skies is very loud. It is in constant activity, and the constant rippling and weaving can cause it work itself loose from whatever fastenings are used to hold it. On one occasion, it was rolled up and placed within a storage closet for the better part of ten years. It destroyed most of the interior of the room.

The only time it is silent is during Calibration, when it weaves itself into an utterly still field of grey silk.
