📜 Poetic Introduction

Forged where the moon veils the sun and time holds its breath,
the Eclipse Compass is no mere instrument — it is a guide to all that matters.
Mountains may block the path, storms may shroud the way,
but this compass points not to magnetic poles,
but to the soul’s next revelation.
It listens for alignment, it hums with purpose,
and when you hold it, you are never truly lost.

📜 Origin Myth

When the First Eclipse cloaked the old Earth in shadow and gold,
a wanderer known only as Liorion stood atop the world’s highest peak, lost not in direction but in meaning.
The stars bent to his longing, and from a fallen shard of moonstone and solar obsidian,
he forged the Eclipse Compass — not to find where he was,
but to find *why*.
Passed down through sky-seers, nomads, and mythic tacticians,
it is said that even the Suunto lineage once glimpsed its schematics in a dream.

📡 Environmental Dynamics

Under eclipse, the compass glows and reveals secret runes.
In areas with leyline crossings, it levitates slightly and emits harmonic pulses.
In absolute darkness, the needle points toward light-bearing truths — often symbolic or hidden.
During new moons, users report auditory messages that feel like destiny whispering.
