The Mysteries are a weekly event broadcast throughout the Divine Fleet, a combination of mythical reenactment and video game, depicting moments in the history of the Divines. Citizens are elected to participate, and moments can play out differently from the actual history: they reflect the living nature of history and its different potential interpretations.

With so few Divines remaining in the fleet, people get a great deal of joy and faith from these events. They are an important reminder of what has come before, and they always underscore the agency of everyday people and of history itself. 'Things can get better and they can get worse, and so love what we have now and ensure that things get better.'

The first arc of Twilight Mirage, in "ed Dust]].

" and "ory:Twilight Mirage]]", takes place during the performance of a Mystery. This Mystery, taking place in sure's Coliseum]], depic, depicts the Divines' escape from the Earth and the forces of the onglomerate, an evil megacorp, an evil megacorporation. Players have to race to avoid OriCon armies and the explosion of a big bomb, while a lead Divine draws a safe path for the competitors to follow. It is described as "Mario Kart in space" but held as a blend of deep ritual and entertainment.
