Amefuri, a sentient star with a radiant spark and a mischievous streak, has broken away from her constellation. Now her celestial siblings are scattered across Lore, and their absence is unraveling the balance of the seasons. With Kylokos’s divinations faltering and fate itself flickering, the hunt begins — not just to find the stars, but to understand why they fell.

* Due to several unexpected real-life delays experienced by a few of our team members, plans for this week's rewards had to change on short notice. This is why we're releasing celestial variants of existing items, and why some are still in progress.
Last year, for Empress Miko's celebration, 28 stars merged to form a Cosmic Dragon, and they descended to our world... to battle YOU! This stellar creature believes that by defeating the Eternal Dragon of Time, it will ascend to godhood, its place as a constellation permanently fixed in the cosmos. Return next week as we continue the adventure with another Empyrean boss battle
Nothing shines quite as brightly as a Paladin on a mission... unless they've got plate armor made of starstuff! Battle the Cosmic Dragons in the /Novashrine or /AstralShrine maps to craft the pieces of the Celestial Paladin set.
OUT OF THIS WORLD NEWS: the Star Light of Destiny axe is available in six of Artix Entertainment's games this month! Battle to unlock it in AQWorlds, AQ3D, AdventureQuest, DragonFable, EpicDuel and MechQuest.

A stellar new bonus farming map is now available! Join /starfield to enter a pocket galaxy full of star-themed monsters.

For last year's celebration, we created an adventure featuring the Celestial Emissary, a living Daruma that traveled around our world to help the gods of Yokai Isle grant wishes. Help it and you'll be able to make a wish of your very own... that will change the shape of the very stars themselves!
