As the light of the moon shines down on the earth in the night sky, there are many secrets which have long since been forgotten. The ancient ones knew these secrets and used tool and techniques to communicate with the stars and those on other planets. They would share knowledge and stories of what was happening in each other's worlds. The good and the bad. They would learn from each other and warn each other if there were disasters looming like comets or other dangerous phenomenon.
