The Circus of Secret Stars

The Circus of Secret Stars is a magical circus that travels the world on floating isles. It is the home to the Children of Reynarde named after its owner, Ringmaster Oskaar Reynarde. Although they are called the Children of Reynarde, roughly half are adults or older, the other half mostly teenagers or young adults. But due to their magical Soul Bond to Oskaar, most live well beyond their years without aging, stuck in whatever age they joined. Some are dozens of years old, if not hundreds. Oskaar is the oldest member by almost 2,000 years.

The name is derived from the fact that guests always lose memory of ever having gone, attributing any lingering memories, and due to the circus being up in the sky, starting their big-top acts when the stars come out. The members are sometimes called Stars.

Acts
The acts take place in a big-top suspended between floating isles, such that it is bottomless leading to a hundred foot fall. However, skilled acrobats can sometimes use the many slackwires to catch themselves, but primarily, they rely on their Dreamkin familiar, large flying beasts, should they fall.

The main acts always start on sundown. Some acts serve to tell a chapter within some story, such as one involving the history of the circus and a worldwide war they got involved in hundreds of years ago, before they had the ability to protect themselves with the Forget-Me aura. Other acts turn the big-top into an arena, in which Stars fight each other or captured monsters known for terrorizing people.
