The Zodiac Sign used in the campaign are in fact several star constellations, which showed up, when the particular character was born. They are linked to a special prophecy and a lineament.

I used the constellations from the Sidereal sourcebook and added three ascendents - ascending, resplendent and descending. Ascending aspects are related to Gaia, resplendent to the Unconquered Sun and descending to Luna. I list them all here. The costellations are all part of one of five houses, which are:

  • The House of Journeys (Element Air)
  • The House of Serenity (Element Earth)
  • The House of Battles (Element Fire)
  • The House of Secrets (Element Water)
  • The House of Endings (Element Wood)

I will give as many information as I can right now. Some descriptions will include parts of the prophecy, but as it is not written completely, there may be missing parts. I'll add them later.

The House of Journeys

Journeys are long and often hard. People on a journey have to be aware of possible dangers and adaptable. They have to care for their welfare and use their own strength and stamina to stay on the road. But they will visit new cultures, meet new people and witness wonders noone has ever seen before.

Journeys are connected to the Alement of Air, as Air is anywhere. The winds blow through Creation and carry paper, leafes and sand to other places. Even the clouds are on a neverending journey through the sky. Every raindrop finds its way to the ground and every wanderer, no matter where he walks, can be sure, that the free wind escorts him.

The Captain

"Attend to the one, who holds Mela's breath in his heart and Danaa'd's waves beneath his feet. He will make you a present of his excellence."

Nature: The Captain wears a sign of his glory and has an object of autority, like scepter or a record of his might. He is fearless and never shows the merest hint of fatigue. He is not friendly, but he is fair and cares for the welfare of his followers.

Associations: Military command, fatherhood, tyranny, crystals, bureaucracy, discipline

Ascendents:

  • Ascending: The Captain, who is marked by Gaia has a deep understanding of nature and cares deeply for the people that call on his leadership. He tries to make sure, that noone has to suffer under his command.
  • Resplendend: The Captain, who is touched by the Unconquered Sun is noble and spanking and an even greater autority. On his journeys, he preferes places, that are steeped in light.
  • Descending: The Captain, who is in Luna's favor is determined by wanderlust. He wants to explore new, yet uncovered sites, but demands that the expeditions are executed orderly under his command.

Characters:

The Gull "A tired wanderer will meet you. Offer him food and shelter and listen to his words of wisdom."
