Gods

For clerics of The First Star of Arcana, magical knowledge is a great responsibility that comes with a special understanding of the nature of reality.

For clerics of The Second Star of Arcana, magic is seen as pure power, to be used as its wielder sees fit.

The Star of Death is believed to covet the power of creation that the Star of Light and the Star of Life possess. As such, Death twists their creations into its own monstrosities.

 The Star of the Forge
 The Star of the Forge is the patron of artisans who work with metal, from the humble blacksmith who keeps a village in horseshoes and plow blades to the mighty artisan whose diamond-tipped arrows of mithral have felled demon lords. The Star of the Forge teaches that, with patience and hard work, even the most intractable metal can be transformed from a lump of ore to a beautifully wrought object. Clerics of the Forge search for objects lost to the forces of darkness, liberate mines overrun by orcs, and uncover rare and wondrous materials necessary to create potent magic items. These clerics take great pride in their work, and are willing to craft and use heavy armor and powerful weapons to protect them.

 The Twin Stars of Knowledge
 The Stars of Knowledge value learning and understanding above all. Followers study esoteric lore, collect old tomes, delve into the secret places of the earth, and learn all they can.
The first teaches that knowledge is to be gathered and shared in libraries and universities, and promotes the practical knowledge of craft and invention.
The second hoards knowledge and keeps secrets to themselves, promising followers they will gain tremendous power if they gather more for the Star.
 The Prime Star of Light
 Believed to be the progenitor of all other Godstars, the Star of Light promotes the ideals of rebirth and renewal, truth, vigilance, and beauty. Clerics of this Star are enlightened souls infused with radiance and the power of discerning vision, charged with chasing away lies and burning away darkness. This star is currently inert, thanks for the Star of Trickery, but its power can still be used righteously.
The First Star of Nature promotes harmony between civilization and nature. Clerics of this Star may bless crops and perform rites to keep harmful animals away.
 The Star of Order
 The Star of Order represents discipline, as well as devotion to the laws that govern society, an institution, or philosophy. Clerics of Order meditate on logic and justice as they serve their Star. Clerics of Order believe that well-crafted laws establish legitimate hierarchies, and those selected by law to lead must be obeyed. Those who obey must do so to the best of their ability, and if those who lead fail to protect the law, they must be replaced. In this manner, law weaves a web of obligations that create order and security in a chaotic multiverse.
 The Twin Stars of Tempest
 The stars of Tempest battle over the forces of our world. The storms, sea, and sky all buckle and waver, causing storms and other natural disasters.
The First Star of Tempest promotes Strength, Courage, and Power.
The Second Star of Tempest promotes swift justice, associated with lightning more than any other element.
Either star, or both, may be prayed to by sailors, farmers, and anyone who depends on weather phenomenon.
 The Star of Twilight
 The twilit transition from light to darkness often brings calm and even joy, as the day's labors end and the hours of rest begin. But the darkness can also bring terrors. The Star of Twilight guards against the horrors of the night. Clerics who serve this Star bring comfort to those who seek rest and protect them by venturing into the encroaching darkness to ensure that the dark is a comfort, not a terror.
The First Star of War represents honor and chivalry. The 'Just' war, as it is often interpreted.The Second Star of War represents conquest, domination, and destruction, and is often revered by belligerent.
