A tidally-locked rogue planet in the Cinder Marches — its sunlit face a glassed desert of ancient pilgrim colonies, its dark side humming with the faintest echo of Aura's song, as if the Chroma reaches here across the void.
Vesper's World orbits no star — it drifts through the Cinder Marches in perpetual darkness, save for the distant glow of a dead sun. Yet its sunward face (locked eternally toward the faint light) is a glassed desert, vitrified by some ancient energy event, littered with the ruins of pilgrim colonies predating the Synod by centuries.\n\nThe dark side is stranger. Psionically sensitive travelers report hearing a hum — barely perceptible, but unmistakably a fragment of Aura's song. The Resonant Order has no record of a Chroma reach extending this far from the moon. The Choir calls it proof that Aura's song is not bound by distance but by receptivity — that the moon is trying to sing to everywhere at once, and only the right crystal structures can catch the tune.\n\nA small Cadence Path cell has established a refuge on the dark side, burning lunar dust in group ceremonies to amplify the faint signal. They claim to hear words in the static — fragments of a message Aura has been sending for centuries, unheard because no one was listening in the right place.
