Gazing Above

[Petyr 485]

As a personal project, I have been documenting one of the more subtle gifts of Nature: The stars and heavens above. Too often do we simply stare at our feet and miss the beauty and knowledge in these mystic stars. I have written this tome to elaborate on the features of the sky, specifically stars and the constellations. I have marked out the constellations for ease.

- Petyr the Druid

The Moon Stars

These stars are significant in the fact that they are all bathed in the light of the Moon.

The Archer's Bow - A clear picture of both bow and arrow. It almost appears to be shooting the Moon.

Lore: A symbol for rangers of all creeds.

The Soup Bowl and the Big Soup Bowl - It is indeed true! Mushroom soup is a divine gift!

The Antlers - The antlers of the sky.

Lore: Associated with druids and the Lord of the Hunt.

Moonstream - This river of stars flows around the moon herself.

Lore - Representative of purity and healing, a combination of water and moonlight.

The Northern Stars

When generally facing northward at night, these are the skies one sees.

Wintercloud - A dark, Northern snow cloud.

Lore: A symbol of harsh winters, Undead corruption in the North.

The Skytree A magnificent tree in the sky. Some say that the inner stars represent fruit.

Lore: A symbol of fertility in the otherwise bleak and cold north.

The Keg Self Explanatory.

Horen's Crown - A symbol of the great human king of old.

Lore: Represents the human spirit, soul.

The Southern Stars

The stars in the southern sky.

The Blade A great longsword.

Lore: A symbol of all who participate in melee fighting of any sort. The fighting spirit.

The Lyre An instrument of the gods, crafted in the heavens.

Lore: Represents inspiration, the arts, harmony on Aegis.

The Spider Cave - An intricate web of stars.

Lore: Represents the darkness, mystery.

The Eye of the South - One of the most prominent constellations. The center star is quite small, but is indicated by the circle around it. The center star points to the south.

Lore: A symbol of the adventurer's spirit, a heavenly guide. Perhaps the eye of greater beings watching over mortals.

Some think that the stars tell a grand story, filled with hidden secrets and mystic codes. Perhaps it is so. Regardless, I hope that you enjoyed a deeper look at the stars of Aegis.

An excellent job brother! I, myself am an avid astronomer. The beauty of a star is quite equal to that of a tree.

[Petyr 485]

Indeed, and as we study trees, I thought it would be wise to study Nature's other gifts as well.
