	The Planar Observatory and Telescope were built nearly a thousand years ago by [[Nera]] and her tribe, then sealed up with the [[Grazhir]] shard Teloish inside. She foresaw how the "Children of Grazhir" (modern [[Moon Mage]]s) would require and use such a tool. Her foresight was such that she recorded an illusion of herself having a conversation with the entities [[Pelag ai Aldam]] and the [[Arbiter in Darkness]] that took place centuries after her actual death within the Planar Observatory.

	In modern times, Moon Mages must journey to the Planar Telescope to study a symbolic representation of the [[Astral Plane]] in order to learn how to [[Astral Travel]]. The Observatory is located on the [[Plane of Abiding]] but overlaps with the Astral Plane, and the surroundings bend and warp depending on who is looking at them. Practically speaking, what a Moon Mage sees will depend on his or her sect. Without knowledge of Astral Travel, the area will appear as an archetypal paradise according to the ideals of their sect; after they earn knowledge of Astral Travel, the surroundings will warp into the antithesis of those ideals, akin to a living nightmare, and denizens of the Astral Plane will attempt to reach out and attack the mage.
