(Note: Make sure you click CONTINUE (if applicable) when you have completed each part!)
========= The Beginning ============
1. Click the big castle in the center of the map, The Hall of Heros
2. In the very back-right corner, you'll see a familiar character. Click him!
3. Hey! It's our old friend again. Looks like he has a new job-- Janitor. Click that button that's next to him.
---> Hm, nothing happened.
4. Oh well, Now click the Altadorian Archives, then go into the doorway on the right.
5. Click the book that is under one of the table legs and balancing it.
---> Hm, we're going to have to replace it...
6. Now go to the QUARRY. And find a rock that'll be suitable. Stumped? Here.
---> Aha! A good replacement for that book...
7. Go back to the Altadorian Archives and click that same book again.
---> We can access the book now! (Located near the top-right part of the scene)
8. You can read the prologue from that book now.
---> Advance a page by clicking the top-right of the book, go back by clicking the top-left.
*** Page 1~3 Acquired! *** (out of 53 pages)
9. Go back to the Janitor in The Hall of Heros and talk to him.
---> Hm. We're going to need something to help oil some gears...
10. Click each statue until you find a bottle of oil & a rag
---> Note: Location is different for each person. Perhaps you should write where you found it, just in case. (Although evidence indicates that it is NOT relevant)
11. Once you've found it, go back to the Janitor and click the button again.
---> The ceiling opens up! Let there be LIGHT!

======= We see the light =======
1. So it looks like the Astronomy club is finally advertising. Go to the Altador Archives and click the pamphlet that shows a telescope. Or click here!
---> You've recieved a telescope!
2. Go back to the Hall of Heroes and go up the staircase on the left side. Click the telescope holder.
---> It fits! You've found the cinderella! ... Actually I guess you found the slipper... oh whatever.
3. Now for the work. Get to it! Start mapping. By the way, Everyone's star formation is different from another. We can help with details, but you're going to have to interpret on your own from now on!
---> Excellent star mapper courtesy of DarkFire here. Follow the instructions on her post.

MORE NEW DEVELOPMENTS (if any, especially from last night) WILL BE ADDED HERE SOON.

======= Enlightenment =========
Alright, so here are points of interests now.
* On the left side of The Hall of Heros, there is now a staircase leading up to a dome-shaped room. Looks like a telescope is missing.
* If you click each statue in The Hall of Heros, on the very top pixels /section of the picture of the statue, you can look up, and get some arrangement of gems. The following are the same for EVERYONE, here is the breakdown:
- 20 above King Altador
- 22 above Jerdana
- 22 above Siyana
- 22 above Kelland
- 19 above Florin
- 18 above Torakor
- 19 above Darkest faerie
- 22 above marak
- 16 above fauna
- 20 above Psellia
- 17 above Gordos
- 19 above Sasha
--> As well as a helpful compilation of the pictures by soymimi here
========================================
Any additions/corrections should be posted here.

Darkfire, thank you! I never knew about the control thing

OK, I've got a map now. I put little X next to the purple stars. Those are the ones we're trying to match, right?

My statue is Siyana, there's 9 stars. I have 9 purple stars - but I don't see a correlation between the TCG/gems/star map. And that's taking into account the stars probably won't be so straightforward and together.

The constellations are moving?! No way, none of us (or very few) will be able to get this done -- if, in fact we're supposed to be looking for our statue constellation.

If the stars are moving, does that mean we'll have to map the stars ever single time they move? No way. That'd be worse than the Tombs...

Umm, if in fact they are moving, would that be once an hour, once every 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, etc. Does anyone know that?

If they are moving there's a good chance I'm out before I've actually begun. I caught way too much grief during LDP and the hours spent on that. Neo, people love plots and puzzles, but we have lives/husbands/wives/kids, etc. too!

Okay, is anyone else having trouble loading their sky?

After not being able to acess PPT for days, I have finnaly used IE, and suprise suprise, it works...

So I got my telescope...am I missing anything else? (Other than the fact that my sky won't load...)

for the last 12 hours I've actually tried to track that. It seems at least to me, that every two hours the other map shows itself for a while. (not for long. 15-20mins)

Right...I've been reading what I can..I see this Constellation thing I have to do...Question.


what in the blue Hell are we supposed to do? Mapping isn't my best point, i've looked at my map asnd have no Idea how to msp it and i'm not reallyt going to try it, I have this web pge up by Darkfire, but I don't know how to use that..>>....I'm stupid Yes I know, but the big question...Why are we mapping? I saw a pic with the gems, I take it we have to find these cnostellations right?

I've come across this automapper

http://boomspeed.com/zaniam/theSky.html

Try:

A few of the other ones are down.

lol! Wow... my mapper's made it all the way to the neopets boards and back.

Good, quality stuff spreads like wildfire throughout the world now, eh? :P

I've added a link to your site, as well as the post you revealed it in, to the first post. I hope you don't mind. Just say so if you want it removed.

Hi I'm a new member, but here is a pet page that creates a starmap in Excel if people are having trouble.

Hardly! Thanks I feel all special now (heh I've actually seen 3 people on the neoboards claiming to be the creators of that thing rofl) Aww come on you have admit that's funny.

Just like the sky won’t load, the get_star_data thingy doesn’t seem to be working for me either. T_T I’m just destined to fail at this plot, aren’t I?

So we've deteremined that the maps change? I know for sure that I have atleast two different maps that seem to rotate. I haven't kept track when they change, I'll do that tomorrow.

BTW, this is what the lenny archivist said:

The archivist says, "Ah, I see you've joined the Astronomy Club. Is there more excitement to be found than in observing the heavens, and mapping the intricate patterns of the cosmos?"

Is it just a rhetorical question or should we also be looking for other clues/part of the puzzle.
