Stars

Stars are stellar bodies visible on the coldside sky. There are only a couple dozens that can be observed without the help of a telescope, and they all have their own names and importance in folklore. Also known as the Dying Gods, many believe that they are deities of a universe breathing its last, watching and guiding the events unfolding below them.

Not actually stars are the Hounds of Fury, passing asteroids that reflect just enough light to be observed. They are a sign of discord and catastrophe, and not without reason: their close pass disturbs the delicate structure of the Mantle, causing quakes and cracks.

The Mirror
The brightest star of the sky, this one is rumored to be an exact but opposite copy of the Mantle.

The Rangers
Three stars in a row, they are reminiscent of Vyrtanan elite soldiers preparing to line up a volley of shots. They are said to be the angry gods, sending their Hounds at the Mantle to destroy it.

The Veil
A nebula of inert gases, barely visible, but filling a large portion of the sky. It's supposed to be an obstacle that prevents Outsiders from ever leaving again while they are alive.

The Seven Sisters
Not much unlike the Pleiades of Earth, this loose group of stars symbolizes a menagerie of benevolent but helpless goddesses. Only six are visible, the seventh has disappeared in a flash and a cloud of gas a couple of centuries ago.
