Veilscatter Scope

The Veilscatter Scope is a magical telescope built by Ira Wendagoth with the assistance of Oleander and Birdie Calloway. It is built using the Moontide Crown and Weave Lens for the purpose of observing Ruidus and ascertaining its true nature. It was briefly completed and used by members of the Bells Hells and Ira before Ira took the Crown from it and Ashton Greymoore smashed the Weave Lens.

Description
The Veilscatter Scope is a magical telescope built around the Moontide Crown. It is 30 feet tall, made of metal and stone, and has cables, runes, and crystal spheres (probably arcane batteries) along its surface. It is articulated through a series of hinges and can be angled and curled to point in the desired direction, similar to a periscope. A viewer looks through it using a mask, and the telescope is angled using a series of dials and switches.

It is able to perceive astronomical bodies during the day and can view through magical effects that prevent Scrying and other forms of magical divination. It has lenses that make the leylines visible and, with the installation of the Weave Lens, can see enchantments and magical effects.

The scope can bend to get downward view of a location on the surface of Exandria.

The Veilscatter Scope is similar in appearance to the Malleus Keys.

History
After Ruidus appeared in the Feywild and began flaring with more frequency in Exandria, Ira Wendagoth designed the the Veilscatter Scope and began building it with the assistance of Birdie and Oleander Calloway in the Hellcatch Valley near Bassuras in Exandria. They built the device around the Moontide Crown, which Birdie and Oleander stole from the Unseelie Court when they saw them building a similar device. Though Birdie and Ollie denied that the Veilscatter Scope was a device similar to that the Unseelie Court was building, Chetney Pock O'Pea doubted this and Ira did not answer a direct question about it.

The telescope was largely complete for months prior to Sydenstar 843 PD, but it needed a Weave Lens to properly observe Ruidus. Ira contacted Morrigan to request one of these lenses, which Morrigan built and had Fearne Calloway deliver to them.

Upon receipt of the Weave Lens, Ira allowed Laudna to take a look through the telescope, and she was able to see the leylines above Marquet and the surface of Ruidus. Once the Weave Lens was installed inside the telescope, Imogen Temult used it to see a lattice surrounding Ruidus and she and Orym saw a city on the surface of the moon. After Ira looked through himself, apparently peering into the Unseelie Court in the Feywild, he tore the Moontide Crown out of the telescope and fled. Ashton Greymoore further smashed the Weave Lens, rendering the Veilscatter Scope non-functional for its designed purpose, which forced Ira to introduce some tweaks to bypass its initial arrangement and make it functional again.

When Bells Hells visited the Calloway Layaway for the second time, Ira let FCG use the scope to get a closer look on Tishtan excavation site to the north-west.
