a scene from a medieval manuscript, depicting a fantastical rocket launch. distinctive flat perspective, characteristic of medieval tapestry...

In the year of our Lord 1420, the esteemed and secretive Order of the Celestial Quest, an assembly of the most learned alchemists and astronomers, gathered under the patronage of the enigmatic Duke Wilhelm of Nuremberg. They toiled for a purpose most ambitious: to breach the heavens themselves and divine the workings of the celestial spheres beyond the grasp of mortal men.

Commissioned by the Duke to eternalize this celestial aspiration, the Gobelin Weavers crafted a grand tapestry depicting the momentous launch. It portrayed the mystical vessel, "The Aether’s Lance," aglow with magical runes, encircled by robed mages chanting beneath the tapestry sky, its golden threads mirroring the stars' dance. Unveiled in Nuremberg Castle, it immortalized the Order's journey into the unknown, leaving their fate as enigmatic as the tapestry itself, a woven legend of man's eternal quest to conquer the heavens.
