It is said that the future is already written, and that its secrets can be found in the depths of Khyber and the eldritch storms of the Ring of Siberys. Over the course of millennia, dragons of Argonnessen and the Gatekeeper druids have constructed observatories to help track the movements and patterns of the Ring of Siberys. The observatories of Argonnessen are fantastic constructs of crystal and metal, lined with huge orreries designed for dragon claws to use. Druid observatories are assemblies of stone monoliths and twisted trees, carefully placed and mystically treated to catch the movement of the Ring. Despite their disparate appearances, both kinds of Siberys observatories have the same effects.
A Siberys observatory can only be constructed in a location that has a strong balance between Khyber and Siberys; it may take months or years of surveying to find such a place. The most costly components required to create the observatory are uncut, unattuned Siberys, Eberron, and Khyber dragonshards of exceptional size and purity. The final rituals involved in creating the observatory bind the shards to the location, making them useless for any other purpose.
