Aughras observatory

The giant orrery within Aughra's observatory.

Aughra's Observatory was the longtime home of Aughra. A giant orrery dominated the center of the observatory, tracking the movements of planets and stars. TekTih assisted Aughra in the construction of the observatory, prior to the division of the urSkeks.

Late in the Age of Division, the observatory was the location where Jen found the Shard of the Division. Jen had reached the home of Aughra by following the Great Sun from the Valley of the Mystics for a day.

The observatory was the place where Jen first learned of the Great Conjunction, for as Aughra claimed:

Everything in the heavens is here, moving as the heavens move. This is how to know when… Suns, moons, stars. Yes, the angle of eternity.

The observatory was destroyed by the Garthim in their hasty pursuit of Jen.
