Stellaspur was a Creamon covenant that was destroyed in 1163. The official story in the Tribunal records was that the tribunal was by a huge storm in 1163. However, Sandre and Godwyn learned that there was far more to the story than that.
Stellaspur was built on the site of Settaspur, a covenant which is not spoken of in the Tribunal. The covenant was a tower which was built on top of a well. The well has a strong Infernal Aura, and those who spend time near it who are not protected from magic find themselves compelled to throw themself or others into it. The well is believed to be a druidic relic, which gaqve knowledge to those who sacrificed others to it.
The Creamon who founded Stellaspur hoped to study the well and destroy or purify it, but the head of the covenant [name?] was corrupted by the infernal force, and killed his sodales and grogs. It appears he sacrificed them to the well, but in the process gain the power to split himself into two people, one good and the other bad. The good went to the Queasitors, and informed them of what happened. The quaesitors killed the bad half, and sacrificed the good half in some kind of blood ritual which killed the bad half, summoned the storm which sunk the tower, and sealed it.
Sandre found the key to Stellaspur in Ozerk's sanctum in Autumn 1203. The key is made of rusty iron and encrusted with barnacles. When found, it was enchanted with a glamour to conceal the inscription on it which said "Settaspur".
Upon using the key to enter the tower, Sandre and Godwyn found that the ghosts of both the good and bad halved magus still existed within the tower. They allowed the two to fight, and both were destroyed. In addition, a many-pointed star hung at the top of the tower, which apparently in some way kept the well from influencing people (or perhaps from drawing people to the tower?). However, the star requires an upkeep in Vis of several kinds (Vim, Corpus, Mentem, Ignem, Aquam, Terram and Auram). Sandre and Godwyn performed the necessary lab work to make the star functional again.
In one of the Magus' labs, there were 7 doors, similar to those in Astia. The markings were rubbed off of them, apparently to keep the infernally corrupted magus from accessing them, but they had names at the top of each:
