The Astrolabe of Fez

You are Noureddine Boukaddous, an apprentice scribe in the vibrant, sprawling libraries of eleventh-century Fez. When your revered master is unjustly imprisoned under suspicion of treason, your only hope to secure his release is to fulfill his final, secret commission: delivering a magnificent brass astrolabe—precious not just for its craftsmanship, but for the maps and star charts concealed within its gears—to a powerful patron across the treacherous Atlas Mountains. The journey is fraught with peril. Dust storms, mountain bandits, and the spies of rival courts dog your every step. To survive, you must rely on your quick wits, your knowledge of the stars, and the few allies you can find along the dusty trading roads. In this world of ink and iron, every decision carries the weight of history. Will you preserve your master's legacy and secure his freedom, or will the secrets of the astrolabe swallow you whole?
