The Dance of the Stars

 In the world of Oros, all stars except one are alive. They watch the world below and take notice when things of great significance happens. Occasionally, the One will tell them to watch a certain place or people when something important is about to happen. 

When night comes the star perform these events for those below. They move in formations (similar to constellations in our world) to depict historic events, though some of their meanings are lost to time. When they are anticipating a new event, they will perform the stories they believe were crucial in leading up to it.

On shorter summer nights, the stars perform one story and when the nights get longer in the winter they can do more.

Not only is the dance of the stars a beautiful thing to behold in the night sky, it insures that no matter who much time may pass the stars will always remember. And perhaps, if one is willing to take the time to watch, one can rediscover what had been forgotten.

The First Monsters and Heroes

  Ages passed after the stars were created, more Idols were born and the stars became jealous. They did not possess power like the Idols, nor were they worshipped as the Idols were. As mortals came to be, they admired the beauty of the stars and some of them were drawn to the adoration, falling to earth. The first star to fall was Zekael, who seduced a young mortal woman called Naballa. She came to be with child but, knowing the power the offspring would have and seeing an opportunity for chaos, Kaelos cursed her womb. When Naballa gave birth, she bore three children, which were deformed and destructive. But she refused to abandon her children, even when they grew to crave the flesh of Men. She ran away from her people, taking her children to the Valley of Teratan, into the woods now known as the Forest of Beasts. The first monsters of that forest were the descendants of Naballa and Zekael. Serpon, born with scales and poisonous fangs. Gathirio, huge, shaggy, and stronger than a do...

The Creation of the Stars

Long before the memories of men, when Earth, Sky, Life and Death were young, Kedar Idol of darkness longed to create something for his lover, Elaen. This was before the sun and moon were born to bring light in the heavens, so Elaen was the only light. Kedar took a few rays of light from Elaen’s head as she slept and cut them into diamonds of different shapes and sizes. Their daughter, Evette, came to admire the beautiful things her father had made but at her touch they became alive. When Elaen woke the heavens were filled with dancing, young stars, going in circles around Kaelos and Mizrana. But one star remained untouched by the young Idol of life and stood completely still. This was Komi, the star by which men navigate, as he is the only star in the heavens that never moves. Now, every night the stars perform the stories they witnessed from above back to those below the heavens, to be sure that what has been is never forgotten.
