All that is gold does not glitterNot all those who wander are lostThe old that is strong does not whitherDeep roots are not reached by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be wokenA light from the shadows shall springRenewed shall be the blade that is brokenThe crownless again shall be king

The Stardome…has not

just hexagons

…but pentagons

as well
