Sagwort 832 Share Posted March 13, 2017 ☉ THE WORSHIPFUL GUILD OF ASTRONOMERS ☾ VTᐧAPVDᐧSICᐧINFRA - Est. 18th of Snow’s Maiden, 1602 “And Horen, may your people one day explore the Seven Skies” -Ancient History, by Availer In Conversation with God “There exists a cardinal harmony which cascades and ebbs through the cosmos; it is as if the grand architect did strike a tuning fork, letting the resounding song of creation ring into eternity, for this is what we sense when we turn our gaze to the heavens, the notes of genesis.” - Musica Universalis Ever has man coveted the knowledge of realms beyond the physical plane. Thus, the ancient and divine arts of magic came to be. That is, until he decided to look to the stars above and learned to read the heavens through its eldritch composition. So comes the Worshipful Guild of Astronomers, an order of sky gazers who seek to unravel the untold mysteries of the planes of existence. Royally chartered by the Crown of the Westerlands, the Guild of Astronomers is positioned within the city of Bastion inside of the Astrologicum. THE DISCIPLINES The Guild of Astronomers recognizes three disciplines of the heavens and beyond. They are as follows: Astrometry Otherwise known as celestial mechanics or celestial navigation, astrometry is the study and measurement of the movements and positions of celestial bodies. An understanding of astrometry requires a deep knowledge of geometry and mathematics which serves as the cornerstone of more advanced disciplines of astronomy. Cosmology Among the most coveted of astronomical disciplines, cosmology is the study of the structure, nature, and origins of the cosmos and existence as a whole. From the Spirit Realms, the nixian Void, and the Immortal Planes of Aenguls and Daemons, the ethereal nature of worlds beyond our observation makes cosmology a highly theoretical, philosophical, and even theological pursuit. Astrology A new and alluring field that involves the study of the movement and relative positions of celestial bodies as a means for divining information or determining the optimum time for terrestrial affairs such as weddings, marriages and war. It is considered a form of “practical” or “useful” astronomy. MEMBERS Master ☉ In order to be deemed a Master Astronomer of the guild, one must publish a “master work” of celestial observations which demonstrates a understanding of advanced and novel concepts. Journeyman ☾ After completing several years of training, an apprentice of the Guild may become a Journeyman in which they have proven a satisfactory understanding of basic concepts. Apprentice ☆ Burgeoning astronomers are apprenticed to a Master of the Guild who will teach them basic knowledge in the three disciplines of astronomy. They are expected to assist their Master with any requests pertaining to research. CONSORTING The Guild of Astronomers, while prestigious and rigorous in its work, is permissive to those who seek the wisdom of the great beyond. Potential apprentices need only complete the following inquiry: --------☉-------- Reason of Admittance: Prior Experience in Astronomical Study: Signature: --------☾-------- Astronomer Consorts with Monk After a brief consultation with a master of the Guild, potential members will be given an appropriate position within the Guild.
