Orrey 01 by Novaminis

Nestled in the corner of a sage's tower, its arms turning in silent celestial rhythm, the orrery holds the secrets of every plane — if only someone could decipher its movements before the ritual completes.

• ✔ Resin terrain piece, printed fresh to order in the UK

This mechanical orrery is a beautifully detailed arcane scatter piece — the kind of prop that immediately elevates the atmosphere of any wizard's study, observatory, or arcane laboratory. The sculpt features a multi-armed brass-and-wood construction: a sturdy circular platform base with decorative riveted edging, a central column wrapped in stacked gear-ring segments, and seven radiating arms at varying heights, each tipped with a spherical orb representing a celestial body. A side-mounted crank mechanism adds a wonderful sense of working machinery, implying this device actually turns — and perhaps maps something far more dangerous than mere planetary orbits.

The layered detail across the wooden platform — engraved segment lines and bolted trim — contrasts with the mechanical precision of the column and arms, giving the piece a satisfying blend of crafted woodwork and arcane engineering. Whether you paint it in warm aged brass and stained oak, cold silver and stone, or glowing enchanted metals, this orrery will become an immediate focal point on any table.

This is variation 01 of the orrery design — a self-contained, symmetrical configuration well suited to a scholar's workspace or an observatory centrepiece.

Bring this piece to your table if you want to:

• Add atmospheric scatter terrain to a wizard's tower, arcane academy, or steampunk laboratory encounter
• Give your party a tangible prop to interact with during a puzzle or ritual scene
• Create a compelling display diorama with a sage, astronomer, or artificer miniature
• Add depth and worldbuilding detail to Spelljammer, Eberron, or steampunk campaign settings

Encounter Hook: The party has broken into the Astrologer's sealed sanctum. At the room's centre, an orrery spins without any hand to drive it — its seventh arm pointing directly at the party's current location on the material plane. The question isn't who built it. The question is why it already knew they were coming.
