Pillar

A pillar stretches up from the edge of a cliff overlooking the desert. It is engraved with runes in an elvish script.

The writing on the pillar says,

"The first step to finding your way in the dark. Is to find your way to the light. Find the beacons. Find the city. If you be worthy, pass the test."

The Puzzle

The pillar begins to glow, an impassable barrier forms on the floor. The symbol is of a 5 point star. It needs to have the fifth point facing upwards to activate the beacon.

Until then the barrier continues to close in threatening to squash them.

The beacon upon activating shoots a beam of light up into the sky that activates the lorekeeper constellation. The day fades to night as the constellation glows gold. It stops after a few seconds. Returning the sky back to day.
