Hireath Zodiac

Astrology is universal to Hireath: it is found in every faction, and the signs and associated traits are the same in every culture. Each sign has a corresponding month and constellation. Note that this is not an exhaustive list of every constellation in Hireath's sky, but they are certainly the most important.

Before God's War, each herd had their own Zodiac, featuring only creatures and concepts from their own region. These have largely been forgotten, but the return of the ancient kirins has brought back the Kirin Zodiac.
